Estimated Annual Cost Burden: $572,300 (solely related to labor costs). Estimated Capital or Other Non-Labor Cost: $0 or de minimis. Abstract: The Negative Option Rule governs the operation of prenotification subscription plans. Under these types of plans—which can include things such as a book of the month club, food of the month club, or clothing items of the month club—a seller provides a consumer with automatic shipments of merchandise unless the consumer affirmatively notifies the seller they do not want the shipment. The Rule requires that a seller notify a member that they will automatically ship merchandise to the member and bill the member for the merchandise if the subscriber fails to expressly reject the merchandise beforehand within a prescribed time. The Rule protects consumers by: (a) Requiring that promotional materials disclose the terms of membership clearly and conspicuously; and (b) establishing procedures for the administration of such ‘‘negative option’’ plans. Request for Comment On August 3, 2020, the FTC sought public comment on the information collection requirements associated with the Rule. 85 FR 46628.
