FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
16 CFR Ch. I
Intent To Request Public Comments on Rules and Guides
AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice of intent to request public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to its ten-year regulatory review plan adopted on
September 1, 1992, the Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') gives
notice that it intends to request public comments on the rules and
guides listed below during 1994. The Commission will request comments
on, among other things, the economic impact of, and the continuing need
for, the rules or guides, possible conflict between the rules or guides
and state, local or other federal laws, and the effect on the rules or
guides of any technological, economic, or other industry changes, as
part of its systematic review of all current Commission regulations and
guides. No Commission determination on the need for or the substance of
a rule, regulation, guide or interpretation or any other procedural
option should be inferred from the intent to publish requests for
comments. In certain instances, however, the reviews also will address
other specific matters or issues, such as reviews mandated by the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., and issues concerning
disclosure of measurements in metric terms. Omnibus Trade and
Competitiveness Act, 15 U.S.C. 205, Executive Order 12770 (``Metric
Usage in Federal Government Programs''), 56 FR 35801 (July 25, 1991).
