FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
16 CFR Part 464
Unfair or Deceptive Fees Trade Regulation Rule
AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice; extension of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (``FTC'' or ``Commission'') is
extending the deadline for filing comments on its advance notice of
proposed rulemaking (``ANPR'') regarding whether the Commission should
prescribe new trade regulation rules or other regulatory alternatives
concerning unfair or deceptive acts or practices concerning fees that
are prevalent.
DATES: For the ANPR published November 8, 2022 (87 FR 67413), the
comment deadline is extended from January 9, 2023, to February 8, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Austin King (202-326-3166), Associate
General Counsel for Rulemaking, Federal Trade Commission, 600
Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 20, 2022, the Commission
announced it would publish an ANPR to seek public comments on the
prevalence of fee practices that may be unfair or deceptive acts or
practices
[[Page 4797]]
under the Federal Trade Commission Act and whether the Commission
should prescribe new trade regulation rules or other regulatory
alternatives to address them. Interested parties have subsequently
requested an extension of the public comment period to give them
additional time to respond to the ANPR's request for comment.
The Commission agrees that allowing additional time for filing
comments in response to the ANPR would help facilitate the creation of
a more complete record. The Commission has therefore decided to extend
the comment period for 30 days, to February 8, 2023. A 30-day extension
will provide commenters adequate time to address the issues raised in
the ANPR.
By direction of the Commission.
Joel Christie,
Acting Secretary.
