SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Federal Trade Commission amended its Rules of Practice to adapt 
them to the Federal Trade Commission Act Amendments of 1994. This 
action conformed the Commission's Rules of Practice to certain 
statutory changes and provided guidance to the public.

Need for Correction

    A correction to the final regulations published on July 21, 1995 is 
needed in order to ensure that the Code of Federal Regulations 
correctly sets forth the amended version of Section 4.7(f) of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice.

Correction of Publication

    Therefore, the final rule published on July 21, 1995 (60 FR 37746) 
is corrected as follows:
    On page 37748, third column, the first sentence of paragraph (f) in 
section 4.7 is corrected to read as follows:


Sec. 4.7  Ex parte communications.

* * * * *
    (f) The prohibitions of paragraph (b) of this section do not apply 
to a communication occasioned by and concerning a nonadjudicative 
function of the Commission, including such functions as the initiation, 
conduct, or disposition of a separate investigation, the issuance of a 
complaint, or the initiation of a rulemaking or other proceeding, 
whether or not it involves a party already in an adjudicative 
proceeding; preparations for judicial review of a Commission order; a 
proceeding outside the scope of Sec. 3.2, including a matter in state 
or federal court or before another governmental agency; a 
nonadjudicative function of the Commission, including but not limited 
to an obligation under Sec. 4.11 or a communication with Congress; or 
the disposition of a consent settlement under Sec. 3.25 concerning some 
or all of the charges involved in a complaint and executed by some or 
all respondents.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.
