Notice of Intent to Request Public Comments on Rules and Guides

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of intent to request public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 rules 
and guides listed below during 1995. 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. 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 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 disclosures of measurements in metric terms. Omnibus Trade 
and Competitiveness Act, 15 U.S.C. 205, Executive Order 12770 (``Metric
