SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 7, 1988, the Commission announced
the commencement of a proceeding to consider proposed amendments to the
Games of Chance in the Food Retailing and Gasoline Industries Trade
Regulation Rule, 16 CFR part 419, and published in the Federal Register
(53 FR 25503) its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and invited written
comment on the proposals. In response to the notice, written
submissions were received and the record was closed on September 6,
1988. A public hearing was not held because none of the interested
persons expressed a desire for one. By motion dated July 13, 1995, the
Commission staff requested the Presiding Officer to reopen the
rulemaking record for additional comment in order to permit the receipt
of timely and current information preparatory to its completion of the
final staff report containing its recommendations to the Commission.
Because of the length of time this proceeding has been pending, the
Presiding Officer granted the motion.
In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking the Commission sent out 24
questions which it urged interested persons to consider in their
respective comments. See 53 FR 25503 at 25505-06. In the main these
questions inquired as to the effect of the proposed amendments.
Although not required, those questions may be used as a framework for
comments submitted in response to this notice. In addition both the
staff and the Presiding Officer request specific comments on Question
23, which asks if there is a continuing need for the Rule, and Question
24, which asks if any other modifications of the Rule are appropriate.
Copies of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued on July 7, 1988,
may be obtained from the Public Reference Room (Room 130), Federal
Trade Commission, 6th and Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20580.
Telephone 202-326-2222.
The Commission has not yet reviewed the rulemaking record in this
proceeding nor has it determined the nature or extent of any action it
may take with respect to the Rule. Any decision by the Commission in
this matter will be based solely upon the contents of the rulemaking
record, including the material submitted in response to this notice.
