FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
16 CFR Ch. I
Notice of Intent To Request Public Comments
AGENCY:
Federal Trade Commission.
ACTION:
Notice of intent to request public comments.
SUMMARY:
As part of its systematic review of all Federal Trade Commission rules and guides, the Commission gives notice that, during 2010, it intends to request public comments on the rules listed below ("Rules"). The Commission will request comments on, among other things, the economic impact of and the continuing need for the Rules; possible conflict between the Rules and state, local, or other federal laws or regulations; and the effect of any technological, economic, or other industry changes on the Rules. Further, the Commission gives notice that, based on its current ongoing review proceedings, it is postponing regulatory review for certain rules previously scheduled for 2010 review. In addition, the Commission announces that it is accelerating its review of the Labeling Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Alternative Fueled Vehicles Rule to 2010. No Commission determination on the need for, or the substance of, the Rules should be inferred from the notice of intent to publish requests for comments. Finally, the Commission announces a revised 10-year regulatory review schedule.
DATES:
Comments must be submitted on or before April 16, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Further details may be obtained from the contact person listed for the particular Rule.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Commission intends to initiate a review of, and solicit public comments on, the following Rules during 2010:
(1) Retail Food Store Advertising and Marketing Practices Rule, 16 CFR 424. Agency Contact: Janice Podoll Frankle, (202) 326-3022, Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Division of Enforcement, 600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20580.
(2) Preservation of Consumers' Claims and Defenses Rule , 16 CFR 433. Agency Contact: Ronald G. Isaac, (202) 326-3231, Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Division of Financial Practices, 600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20580.
(3) Labeling Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Alternative Fueled Vehicles Rule , 16 CFR 309. Agency Contact: Hampton Newsome, (202) 326-2889, Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Division of Enforcement, 600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20580.
The Commission is accelerating its review of the Labeling Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Alternative Fueled Vehicles Rule, previously scheduled for review in 2014, to ensure that FTC-required vehicle labels are consistent with the Environmental Protection Agency fuel economy labeling requirements. Additionally, because the Commission has ongoing reviews relating to a number of its rules and guides and other rulemaking proceedings, it is postponing review of the following matters previously scheduled for 2010 review: Regulations Under the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, et al. , 16 CFR 500-503; the Credit Practices Rule, 16 CFR 444; the Guides for the Advertising of Warranties and Guarantees, 16 CFR 239; and the Interpretations of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, et al. , 16 CFR 700-703.
A copy of the Commission's revised regulatory review schedule for 2011 through 2020 is appended. The Commission, in its discretion, may modify or reorder the schedule in the future to incorporate new rules, or to respond to external factors (such as changes in the law) or other considerations.
Authority:
15 U.S.C. 41-58.
By direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.
