    SUMMARY: As part of its systematic review of all current Commission 
    regulations and guides, the Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') 
    gives notice that it intends to request public comments on the guides 
    and exemption procedures listed below during 1998. The Commission will 
    request comments on, among other things, the economic impact of, and 
    the continuing need for, the guides and procedures; possible conflict 
    between the guides and procedures and state, local, or other federal 
    laws or regulations; and the effect on the guides and procedures of any 
    technological, economic, or other industry changes. No Commission 
    determination on the need for or the substance of a guide or procedure 
    should be inferred from the intent to publish requests for comments.

    the contact person listed for each particular item.
