Further details about particular rules or guides may be obtained from the contact person listed below for the rule or guide. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a rapidly changing marketplace, agency regulations can become outdated, ineffectual, and unduly burdensome. Therefore, it is important to systematically review regulations to ensure that they continue to achieve their intended goals without unduly burdening commerce. Since 1992, the FTC’s regulatory review program has done just that. The Commission schedules its regulations and guides for review on a ten-year cycle; i.e., all rules and guides are scheduled to be reviewed ten years after implementation and ten years after completion of a regulatory review. The Commission publishes this schedule annually, with adjustments in SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\13JYP1.SGM 13JYP1 srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 134 / Wednesday, July 13, 2011 / Proposed Rules response to public input, changes in the marketplace, and resource demands. The FTC recently has accelerated review of three rules and a guide to account for changes in the marketplace and to reduce burdens on industry. Specifically, because of recent increases in the use of environmental marketing claims, in 2009 the Commission accelerated its review of its Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims, also known as the Green Guides, 16 CFR Part 260. In 2010, the Commission accelerated its reviews of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule, 16 CFR Part 312, to address rapid changes in technology and children’s use of online media, and the Labeling Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Alternative Fueled Vehicles, 16 CFR Part 309, to address potentially unnecessary or duplicative labeling requirements and harmonize FTC rules with the rules of a sister agency. And most recently, the Commission announced a new Premerger Notification and Report Form, which was the result of an acceleration in 2010 of the review of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (‘‘HSR’’) Transmittal Rule, 16 CFR Part 803, to more rapidly alleviate any unnecessary burden on filers during these difficult economic times. The Commission is now announcing acceleration of reviews of additional rules. First, the Commission is accelerating its review of portions of the HSR Coverage Rule, 16 CFR Part 801, from 2013 to 2011. Second, the Commission is accelerating review of the Appliance Labeling Rule, 16 CFR Part 305, from 2018 to 2012, to address rapid changes in appliance technology and the increasing cost of energy. When the Commission reviews a rule or guide, it publishes a notice in the Federal Register seeking public comment on the continuing need for the rule or guide as well as the rule’s or guide’s costs and benefits to consumers and businesses. Based on this feedback, the Commission may modify or repeal the rule or guide to address public concerns or changed conditions, or to reduce undue regulatory burden. Using this process, the Commission has repealed 37 rules and guides, and updated dozens of others over the past two decades. For the first time, this year the Commission is seeking input on ways to improve its regulatory review program and the procedure used for reviewing the agency’s rules and guides. Through comments suggesting improvements to its systematic regulatory review, the Commission seeks to ensure it is implementing a review process that VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Jul 12, 2011 Jkt 223001 accurately measures the effectiveness, efficiency, and consequences of its rules and guides in the face of changing marketplace conditions, evolving consumer behavior, and technological developments. To solicit such comments, this notice sets forth specific questions, and also invites all relevant information and suggestions. The Commission will analyze these comments and consider whether changes to its regulatory review process are warranted. Revised Ten-Year Schedule for Review of FTC Rules and Guides The Commission currently has ongoing reviews relating to thirteen of its rules and guides.1 For example, currently, the Commission is considering amendments to the Labeling Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Alternative Fueled Vehicles, 16 CFR Part 309, that would harmonize FTC rules with Environmental Protection Agency rules and eliminate the need for businesses to apply two redundant labels from different agencies to covered vehicles. For 2011, the Commission intends to initiate a review of, and solicit public comments on, the following ten additional rules and guides.

Agency Contact: Robert Jones, (202) 326–2740, Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of Competition, 600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20580.

A copy of the Commission’s revised regulatory review schedule for 2011 through 2020 is appended. The Commission, in its discretion, may modify or reorder the schedule in the future to incorporate new rules, or to respond to external factors (such as changes in the law) or other considerations. Request for Comment srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS Questions We invite comment to help the Commission continue to improve its regulatory review process. All relevant comments will be considered, but we are particularly interested in obtaining your views on the following questions. When responding, please include any available evidence that supports your response. (1) Should the Commission continue to review its rules and guides every ten years? If not, what interval makes sense? Why? (2) Should different rules and guides be reviewed at different intervals? If so, which should be accelerated and which decelerated and on what basis? (3) In what other ways can the Commission modify its regulatory review program to make it more responsive to the needs of consumers and businesses? (4) What can the Commission do to streamline its regulatory review process? 2 These nine matters transfer to CFPB pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111–203, Sec. 1061(b)(5), 124 Stat. 2004 (July 21, 2010).

VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Jul 12, 2011 Jkt 223001 (5) Are there any federal, state, or foreign agencies with regulatory review programs that the Commission should study to improve its own program? If so which agencies, and what do they do that is superior to the Commission’s program? (6) How should the Commission identify those rules and guides that can and should be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed? What factors should the Commission consider in selecting and prioritizing rules and guides for review? Why? (7) Does the Commission have rules or guides that duplicate or conflict with other agencies’ requirements? Does the Commission currently collect information that it does not need or use effectively to achieve regulatory objectives? If so, what information is not needed? Why not? (8) Are there rules or guides that have become unnecessary and can be withdrawn without impairing the Commission’s regulatory programs? If so, which rules and guides? Why? (9) Are there rules or guides that have become outdated and, if so, how can they be modernized to better accomplish their regulatory objectives? If so, which rules and guides? Why are they outdated? (10) Are there rules or guides that are still necessary, but have not operated as well as expected such that a modified, stronger, or slightly different approach is justified? If so, which rules and guides? Why and how should they be changed? (11) Are there rules or guides that have been or will soon be overtaken by technological developments? If so, which rules or guides? Why? How can they be modified to accommodate or utilize such technologies? Instructions You can file a comment online or on paper.

DATES: Comments on these proposed rules may be submitted to the Commission on or before August 23, 2011. The Commission has scheduled two public hearings on the proposed rules, to be held August 2, 2011, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and August 4, srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Jul 12, 2011 Jkt 223001 Year to review 2011, in Binghamton, New York. The locations of the public hearings are listed in the addresses section of this notice. ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to: Mr. Richard A. Cairo, Susquehanna River Basin Commission, 1721 N. Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102–2391, or by e-mail to rcairo@srbc.net. The public hearings will be held on Tuesday, August 2, 2011, at 10 a.m., at the Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101, and on Thursday, August 4, 2011 at 7 p.m., at the Holiday Inn Binghamton Downtown, 2–8 Hawley Street, Binghamton, New York 13901. Those wishing to testify are asked to notify the Commission in advance, if possible, at the regular or electronic addresses given below. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Cairo, General Counsel, telephone: 717–238–0423, ext. 306; fax: 717–238–2436; e-mail: rcairo@srbc.net. Also, for further information on the proposed rulemaking, visit the Commission’s Web site at https:// www.srbc.net. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background and Purpose of Amendments The basic purpose of the regulatory amendments set forth in this proposed rulemaking is to make further modifications to the Commission’s project review regulations, most of which relate to the approval of hydrocarbon development projects. New terms are used in these amendments that require further definition in 18 CFR 806.3. These include definitions for the terms flowback, formation fluids, hydrocarbon development, hydrocarbon water storage facility, production fluids, tophole water, and unconventional natural gas development. In order to encourage the reuse of least quality water instead of fresh water for hydraulic fracturing by unconventional natural gas development, the Commission proposes to add paragraph (a)(3)(iv) to § 806.4, which would provide for administrative approval of diversions involving flowback or production fluids from hydrocarbon development projects being transferred across the basin PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 2020. 2020. boundary from one drilling pad site to another drilling pad site, provided this water is handled in a manner that isolates it from the waters of the basin. Such diversions would be approved administratively under the provisions of § 806.22(f), rather than § 806.4. This change would incorporate into the regulation a policy adopted by the Commission on March 10, 2011. To encourage reuse, treatment and proper disposal, paragraph (a)(3)(v) of § 806.4 would also be added, which would provide for diversions involving flowback or production fluids transferred to an out-of-basin treatment or disposal facility operating under separate governmental approval to be subject to administrative approval under the provisions of § 806.22(f), rather than being subject to docket approval under § 806.4. Currently, § 806.4(a)(8) states that natural gas well development projects targeting the Marcellus and Utica shale formation, or any other shale formations identified in an Executive Director determination, involving a withdrawal, diversion or consumptive use of water in any quantity, must be approved by the Commission. Rather than attempting to name every possible geologic formation that may be the subject of development using hydrofracture stimulation (beyond Marcellus and Utica and the additional formations referenced in the Executive Director’s recent Notice of Determination issued on April 21, 2011), the specific formation references would be deleted and replaced with a generic category— ‘‘unconventional natural gas development,’’ which relates to the extraction of gaseous hydrocarbons from low permeability geologic formations utilizing enhanced drilling, stimulation and recovery techniques. The ‘‘gallon one’’ regulatory threshold currently applicable under the regulations to gas well development in the specifically named formations would instead be extended to this broader category. Language is inserted into §§ 806.13 and 14 authorizing ‘‘renewal’’ of expiring approvals, including Approvals by Rule (ABRs). Currently, the regulations have no specific reference to a ‘‘renewal’’ process for expiring approvals. Renewals are also provided for in additions to § 806.22(e)(6) and (f)(9).

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

16 CFR Chapter I

Notice Announcing Ten-Year Regulatory Review Schedule and Request
for Public Comment on the Federal Trade Commission's Regulatory Review
Program

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of intent to request public comments, and request for
information and comment.

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

SUMMARY: As part of its ongoing systematic review of all Federal Trade
Commission rules and guides, the Commission announces a revised ten-
year regulatory review schedule. No Commission determination on the
need for, or the substance of, the rules and guides listed below should
be inferred from the notice of intent to publish requests for comments.
The Commission further invites written comments regarding the
Commission's longstanding regulatory review program and how to improve
the process.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before September 6,
2011.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a comment online or on paper, by
following the instructions in the Request for Comment part of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. Write ``Regulatory Review
Schedule'' on your comment, and file your comment online at https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ftc/regulatoryreviewschedule, by following
the instructions on the web-based form. If you prefer to file your
comment on paper, mail or deliver your comment to the following
address: Federal Trade Commission, Office of the Secretary, Room H-113
(Annex N), 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20580.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jock Chung, (202) 326-2984, Attorney,
Division of Enforcement, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Federal Trade
Commission, Room M-8102B, 600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC
20580, regarding the regulatory review schedule. Further details about
particular rules or guides may be obtained from the contact person
listed below for the rule or guide.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a rapidly changing marketplace, agency
regulations can become outdated, ineffectual, and unduly burdensome.
Therefore, it is important to systematically review regulations to
ensure that they continue to achieve their intended goals without
unduly burdening commerce. Since 1992, the FTC's regulatory review
program has done just that. The Commission schedules its regulations
and guides for review on a ten-year cycle; i.e., all rules and guides
are scheduled to be reviewed ten years after implementation and ten
years after completion of a regulatory review. The Commission publishes
this schedule annually, with adjustments in

[[Page 41151]]

response to public input, changes in the marketplace, and resource
demands.
The FTC recently has accelerated review of three rules and a guide
to account for changes in the marketplace and to reduce burdens on
industry. Specifically, because of recent increases in the use of
environmental marketing claims, in 2009 the Commission accelerated its
review of its Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims,
also known as the Green Guides, 16 CFR Part 260. In 2010, the
Commission accelerated its reviews of the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Rule, 16 CFR Part 312, to address rapid changes in
technology and children's use of online media, and the Labeling
Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Alternative Fueled Vehicles, 16
CFR Part 309, to address potentially unnecessary or duplicative
labeling requirements and harmonize FTC rules with the rules of a
sister agency. And most recently, the Commission announced a new
Premerger Notification and Report Form, which was the result of an
acceleration in 2010 of the review of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act (``HSR'') Transmittal Rule, 16 CFR Part 803, to more
rapidly alleviate any unnecessary burden on filers during these
difficult economic times.
The Commission is now announcing acceleration of reviews of
additional rules. First, the Commission is accelerating its review of
portions of the HSR Coverage Rule, 16 CFR Part 801, from 2013 to 2011.
Second, the Commission is accelerating review of the Appliance Labeling
Rule, 16 CFR Part 305, from 2018 to 2012, to address rapid changes in
appliance technology and the increasing cost of energy.
When the Commission reviews a rule or guide, it publishes a notice
in the Federal Register seeking public comment on the continuing need
for the rule or guide as well as the rule's or guide's costs and
benefits to consumers and businesses. Based on this feedback, the
Commission may modify or repeal the rule or guide to address public
concerns or changed conditions, or to reduce undue regulatory burden.
Using this process, the Commission has repealed 37 rules and guides,
and updated dozens of others over the past two decades.
For the first time, this year the Commission is seeking input on
ways to improve its regulatory review program and the procedure used
for reviewing the agency's rules and guides. Through comments
suggesting improvements to its systematic regulatory review, the
Commission seeks to ensure it is implementing a review process that
accurately measures the effectiveness, efficiency, and consequences of
its rules and guides in the face of changing marketplace conditions,
evolving consumer behavior, and technological developments. To solicit
such comments, this notice sets forth specific questions, and also
invites all relevant information and suggestions. The Commission will
analyze these comments and consider whether changes to its regulatory
review process are warranted.

Revised Ten-Year Schedule for Review of FTC Rules and Guides

The Commission currently has ongoing reviews relating to thirteen
of its rules and guides.\1\ For example, currently, the Commission is
considering amendments to the Labeling Requirements for Alternative
Fuels and Alternative Fueled Vehicles, 16 CFR Part 309, that would
harmonize FTC rules with Environmental Protection Agency rules and
eliminate the need for businesses to apply two redundant labels from
different agencies to covered vehicles.

Due to resource constraints, the Commission is postponing review of
the following matters previously scheduled for 2011 review:
Administrative Interpretations, General Policy Statements, and
Enforcement Policy Statements, 16 CFR part 14; the Guides for the
Jewelry, Precious Metals, and Pewter Industries, 16 CFR part 23; the
Preservation of Consumers' Claims and Defenses Rule [Holder in Due
Course Rule], 16 CFR Part 433; and the Credit Practices Rule, 16 CFR
part 444.
The Commission is removing the following nine matters from its
regulatory review schedule because authority to modify or repeal them
will be transferred to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
in 2011: Disclosure Requirements for Depository Institutions Lacking
Federal Deposit Insurance, 16 CFR Part 320; Mortgage Assistance Relief
Services Rule, 16 CFR part 322; Statements of General Policy or
Interpretations [of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Rules], 16 CFR Part
600; [Identity Theft] Definitions, 16 CFR Part 603; Free Annual File
Disclosures Rule, 16 CFR Part 610;

[[Page 41152]]

Prohibition Against Circumventing Treatment as a Nationwide Consumer
Reporting Agency, 16 CFR Part 611; Duration of Active Duty Alerts, 16

Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law
111-203, Sec. 1061(b)(5), 124 Stat. 2004 (July 21, 2010). To the
extent they apply to motor vehicle dealers, the Commission will
retain rulemaking authority for seven other rules that are being
transferred to the CFPB pursuant to sections 1029(a) and (c) of the
Act: Privacy of Consumer Financial Information Privacy Rule, 16 CFR
Part 313; Duties of Creditors Regarding Risk-Based Pricing, 16 CFR
Part 640; Duties of Users of Consumer Reports Regarding Address
Discrepancies, 16 CFR Part 641; Prescreen Opt-Out Notice, 16 CFR

Agencies, 16 CFR Part 660; Affiliate Marketing, 16 CFR Part 680;
Model Forms and Disclosures, 16 CFR Part 698.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, the Commission is removing Smokeless Tobacco Regulations,
16 CFR Part 307, from its review schedule because the Commission
rescinded these regulations in 2010. 75 FR 59609 (September 28, 2010).
A copy of the Commission's revised regulatory review schedule for
2011 through 2020 is appended. The Commission, in its discretion, may
modify or reorder the schedule in the future to incorporate new rules,
or to respond to external factors (such as changes in the law) or other
considerations.

Request for Comment

Questions

We invite comment to help the Commission continue to improve its
regulatory review process. All relevant comments will be considered,
but we are particularly interested in obtaining your views on the
following questions. When responding, please include any available
evidence that supports your response.
(1) Should the Commission continue to review its rules and guides
every ten years? If not, what interval makes sense? Why?
(2) Should different rules and guides be reviewed at different
intervals? If so, which should be accelerated and which decelerated and
on what basis?
(3) In what other ways can the Commission modify its regulatory
review program to make it more responsive to the needs of consumers and
businesses?
(4) What can the Commission do to streamline its regulatory review
process?
(5) Are there any federal, state, or foreign agencies with
regulatory review programs that the Commission should study to improve
its own program? If so which agencies, and what do they do that is
superior to the Commission's program?
(6) How should the Commission identify those rules and guides that
can and should be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed? What
factors should the Commission consider in selecting and prioritizing
rules and guides for review? Why?
(7) Does the Commission have rules or guides that duplicate or
conflict with other agencies' requirements? Does the Commission
currently collect information that it does not need or use effectively
to achieve regulatory objectives? If so, what information is not
needed? Why not?
(8) Are there rules or guides that have become unnecessary and can
be withdrawn without impairing the Commission's regulatory programs? If
so, which rules and guides? Why?
(9) Are there rules or guides that have become outdated and, if so,
how can they be modernized to better accomplish their regulatory
objectives? If so, which rules and guides? Why are they outdated?
(10) Are there rules or guides that are still necessary, but have
not operated as well as expected such that a modified, stronger, or
slightly different approach is justified? If so, which rules and
guides? Why and how should they be changed?
(11) Are there rules or guides that have been or will soon be
overtaken by technological developments? If so, which rules or guides?
Why? How can they be modified to accommodate or utilize such
technologies?
