DATES: Written comments will be received until September 25, 1995.

Presiding Officer, Federal Trade Commission, 6th Street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20580.

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.
