Semiannual Regulatory Agenda

Document 2024-16468 is a Proposed Rule published by the Federal Trade Commission in the Federal Register on August 16, 2024. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC or Commission) is publishing its semiannual regulatory agenda in accordance with section 22(d)(1) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. 57b-3(d)(1) and the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 to 612, as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. The Commission's agenda follows guidelines and procedures issued February 20, 2024, by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12866, "Regulatory Planning and Review," of September 30, 1993, 58 FR 51735 (Oct. 4, 1993). The Government-wide Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions includes a list of all regulatory actions under development or review and is scheduled for publication in its entirety on www.reginfo.gov and www.regulations.gov in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain information from the agenda database. The RFA requires publication in the Federal Register of agenda entries for rules that are likely to have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 602) and any such rules that the agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the RFA. For spring 2024, the Commission has one rule, the newly issued Non-Compete Clause Rule which will be codified at 16 CFR 910, that meets the RFA's publication requirements. In addition, the Commission has three rules or rulemakings that would be a "significant regulatory action" under the definition in Executive Order 12866: the proposed amendments to the Premerger Notification Rules and Report Form, found at 16 CFR 801-803 and relating to substantive HSR form changes, including implementing congressionally-mandated reporting requirements on foreign subsidies; the recently promulgated Combating Auto Retail Scams Trade Regulation Rule, which will be codified at 16 CFR 463; and the newly issued Non-Compete Clause Rule, which will be codified at 16 CFR 910.
