FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Further details about particular rules or guides may be obtained from the contact person listed below for the rule or guide. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To ensure that its rules and industry guides remain relevant and are not unduly burdensome, the Commission reviews them on a ten-year schedule. Each year the Commission publishes its review schedule, with adjustments made in response to public input, changes in the marketplace, and resource demands. When the Commission reviews a rule or guide, it publishes a notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment on the continuing need for the rule or guide, as well as the rule's or guide's costs and benefits to consumers and businesses. Based on this feedback, the Commission may modify or repeal the rule or guide to address public concerns or changed conditions, or to reduce undue regulatory burden. The Commission posts information about its review schedule on its Web site \1\ to facilitate comment. This Web site contains an updated review schedule, a list of rules and guides previously eliminated in the regulatory review process, and the Commission's regulatory review plan. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/retrospective-review-ftc-rules-guides. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Modified Ten-Year Schedule for Review of FTC Rules and Guides For 2017, the Commission intends to initiate reviews of, and solicit public comments on, the following rules: (1) CAN-SPAM Rule, 16 CFR part 316.
