AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of intent to request public comments.

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

SUMMARY: As part of its ongoing systematic review of all Federal Trade 
Commission rules and guides, the Commission gives notice that, during 
2005, it intends to request public comments on the two rules listed 
below. The Commission will request comments on, among other things, the 
economic impact of, and the continuing need for, the rules; possible 
conflict between the rules and state, local, or other federal laws or 
regulations; and the effect on the rules of any technological, 
economic, or other industry changes. No Commission determination on the 
need for or the substance of the rules should be inferred from the 
intent to publish request for comments. In addition, the Commission 
announces a revised 10-year regulatory review schedule.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Further details may be obtained from 
the contract person listed for the particular rule.
