FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

16 CFR Chapter I


Notice of Revised Regulatory Review Schedule

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of revised regulatory review schedule.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') has a program of 
systematic review of all of its rules and guides. The Commission hereby 
gives notice that, based on its current ongoing review proceedings, as 
well as additional rulemaking proceedings required by new legislation, 
it does not intend to announce review of any additional rules or guides 
during 2004. The ten-year regulatory review schedule previously 
published by the Commission, 67 FR 9630 (Mar. 4, 2002), has been 
modified accordingly.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Neil Blickman, Federal Trade 
Commission, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Division of Enforcement, 600 
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington DC 20580, (202) 326-3038.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission has decided not to initiate 
review of any additional rules or guides during 2004. Currently, the 
Commission has ongoing review or amendment proceedings that relate to a 
number of its rules and guides. In addition, during 2004, the 
Commission will be required to promulgate rules pursuant to the Fair 
and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, Pub. L. 108-159 
(requiring at least 25 separate rules and 8 studies); the Fairness to 
Contact Lens Consumers Act of 2003, Pub. L. 108-164; and the 
Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act 
of 2003, Pub. L. 108-187. Accordingly, the Commission proposes a 
revised ten-year regulatory review schedule. A copy of this tentative 
schedule is appended. The Commission may, in its discretion, modify or 
reorder the schedule in the future to incorporate new legislative 
rules, or to respond to external factors (such as changes in the law) 
or other considerations.

    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 41-58.

    By direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.
