FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

16 CFR Chapter I


Regulatory Review Schedule

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Intent to request public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its ongoing, systematic review of all Federal Trade 
Commission rules and guides, the Commission announces a modified ten-
year regulatory review schedule. No Commission determination on the 
need for, or the substance of, the rules and guides listed below should 
be inferred from this notice.

DATES: Effective on June 28, 2017.

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.
