SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Comment Period Extension

On November 9, 2023 (88 FR 77420), the Commission published in the Federal Register an NPRM with a January 8, 2024, deadline for filing comments. The Commission published the NPRM to solicit comments about the proposed Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees and, specifically, on the questions set forth in Section X of the NPRM.

Interested parties have subsequently requested an extension of the public comment period to give them additional time to respond to the NPRM's request for comment. While the original comment period affords the public a meaningful opportunity to provide the Commission with comments regarding its rulemaking proposal, the Commission will extend the period for public comment on its NPRM an additional 30 days to February 7, 2024.
