SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Commission’s Class Action
Fairness Project strives to ensure that
class action settlements in consumer
protection and competition matters
provide appropriate benefits to
consumers and that class action counsel
or defendants are not inappropriately
benefitting at the expense of class
members. As part of this program, the
FTC monitors class actions and files
amicus briefs or intervenes in
appropriate cases; 1 coordinates with
state, federal, and private groups to
advise them and to seek suggestions on
matters that merit FTC attention; and
monitors the progress of legislation and
class action rule changes.
II. The FTC’s Proposed Study
A. Study Description
To further these goals, the FTC plans
to conduct an Internet-based consumer
research study to explore consumer
perceptions of class action notices,
including whether consumers
understand the options provided in the
notices and the implications of such
options. The proposed Study will gauge
consumer comprehension of the options
conveyed by the notice and the
implications of each option for the
respondent. Specifically, using a
treatment-effect methodology, the study
will examine whether respondents
