SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Comment Period Extension
On November 9, 2023 (88 FR 77420), the Commission published in the
Federal Register an NPRM with a January 8, 2024, deadline for filing
comments. The Commission published the NPRM to solicit comments about
the proposed Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees and, specifically, on the
questions set forth in Section X of the NPRM.
Interested parties have subsequently requested an extension of the
public comment period to give them additional time to respond to the
NPRM's request for comment. While the original comment period affords
the public a meaningful opportunity to provide the Commission with
comments regarding its rulemaking proposal, the Commission will extend
the period for public comment on its NPRM an additional 30 days to
February 7, 2024.

until February 7, 2024.\1\ To the extent practicable, all comments will
be available on the public record and posted at the docket for this
rulemaking at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2023-0064">https://www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2023-0064</a>. For
additional detail regarding comment submission, see the information in
the NPRM published at 88 FR 77420.

comment period for rebuttal comments. See 16 CFR 1.11(e) (``The
