SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Funding Opportunity Description A. Background FDA intends to establish a cooperative agreement to create the WCFS to address these issues through the development of approaches and data critical to understanding the risks associated with the interface between production agriculture and food protection. Such knowledge is critical to the development of scientifically validated ‘‘best practices’’ for mitigating those risks at the production (versus processing) level. In establishing this cooperative agreement, FDA recognizes the importance of agricultural practices in the Western states, an increasingly important food producing region for fruits, vegetables, specialty crops, and dairy products; and a key point of entry for imported foods. The development of an integrated collaborative food protection research/education/outreach program in this region will benefit both consumers and producers nationwide. B. Program Research Goals A proposal is being solicited to establish and operate a collaborative center that is designed to meet the objectives of the RFA. The proposal should include information on both the structure and administration of the center and the approaches that will be used to establish robust and sustainable regional, national, and international research and outreach collaborations (including collaborations with the agency’s other Centers of Excellence; other Centers at UCD, such as the Center for Produce Safety; and other components of the University of California system), as well as strategies for cultivating additional base support for the center.

Analysis of Agreement Containing Consent Order to Aid Public Comment

    The Federal Trade Commission has accepted, subject to final 
approval, an agreement containing a consent order from We Give Loans, 
Inc. (``respondent'').
    The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for 
thirty (30) days for receipt of comments by interested persons. 
Comments received during this period will become part of the public 
record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the 
agreement and the comments received, and will decide whether it should 
withdraw from the agreement or make final the agreement's proposed 
order.
    Respondent engaged in practices that violate Section 144 of the 
Truth in Lending Act (``TILA''), 15 U.S.C. Sec.  1664, and Section 
226.24(c) of its implementing Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. Sec.  226.24(c). 
Respondent disseminated payday loan advertisements on the Internet 
stating the number of payments or period of repayment, or the amount of 
a finance charge, as terms for obtaining a payday loan. These 
advertisements failed, however, to disclose the ``annual percentage 
rate'' or ``APR'' for these loans as required by TILA and its 
implementing Regulation Z.
    TILA and Regulation Z require that advertisers, including payday 
loan advertisers, disclose APRs on their loans to assist consumers in 
comparison shopping. The respondent's failure to disclose the APR for 
the payday loans it advertised undermined consumers' ability to compare 
these loans to those offered by other payday lenders. The respondent's 
failure to disclose the APR for the payday loans it advertised also 
frustrated consumers' ability to compare these loans to alternative 
forms of credit. Through its law enforcement actions the Commission 
intends to promote compliance with the APR disclosure requirements of 
TILA and Regulation Z, thereby promoting comparison shopping relating 
to payday loans.
    The proposed consent order contains provisions designed to prevent 
respondent from failing to make disclosures required by TILA and 
Regulation Z in the future.
    Part I.A. of the proposed order prohibits respondent, in connection 
with any advertisement of consumer credit, from stating the amount or 
percentage of any down payment, the number of payments or period of 
repayment, the amount of any payment, or the amount of any finance 
charge, without disclosing clearly and conspicuously all of the terms 
required by TILA and Regulation Z, including the amount or percentage 
of the down payment, the terms of repayment, and the annual percentage 
rate, using that term or the abbreviation ``APR.''
    Part I.B. of the proposed order prohibits respondent from stating a 
rate of finance charge without stating the rate as an ``annual 
percentage rate'' or the abbreviation ``APR.''
    Part I.C. of the proposed order prohibits respondent from failing 
to comply in any other respect with TILA or Regulation Z.
    Part II of the proposed order contains a document retention 
requirement, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with the 
proposed order. It requires that respondent maintain all records that 
will demonstrate compliance with the proposed order.
    Part III of the proposed order requires respondent to distribute 
copies of the order to various principals, officers, directors, and 
managers, and all current and future employees, agents and 
representatives having responsibilities with respect to the subject 
matter of the order.
    Part IV of the proposed order requires respondent to notify the 
Commission of any changes in its corporate structure that might affect 
compliance with the order.
    Part V of the proposed order requires respondent to file with the 
Commission one or more reports detailing compliance with the order.
    Part VI of the proposed order is a ``sunset'' provision, dictating 
the conditions under which the order will terminate twenty years from 
the date it is issued or twenty years after a complaint is filed in 
federal court, by either the United States or the FTC, alleging any 
violation of the order.
    The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the 
proposed order, and it is not intended to constitute an official 
interpretation of

[[Page 36875]]

the agreement and proposed order or to modify in any way their terms.
    By direction of the Commission.
