SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Contact Lens Rule (Rule), 16 CFR part 315. OMB Control Number: 3084–0127. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Abstract: The Rule was promulgated by the FTC pursuant to the Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act (FCLCA), Pub. L. 108–164 (Dec. 6, 2003), which was enacted to enable consumers to purchase contact lenses from the seller of their choice. The Rule became effective on August 2, 2004, and was most recently amended in 2020.1 As mandated by the FCLCA, the Rule requires the release and verification of contact lens prescriptions which are generally valid for one year and contains recordkeeping requirements applying to both prescribers and sellers of contact lenses. Specifically, the Rule requires that prescribers provide a copy of the prescription to the consumer upon the completion of a contact lens fitting, even if the patient does not request it, and verify or provide prescriptions to authorized third parties. The Rule also mandates that a contact lens seller may sell contact lenses only in accordance with a prescription that the seller either: (a) has received from the patient or prescriber; or (b) has verified through direct communication with the prescriber. Additional provisions in the Rule that constitute collections of information as defined by 5 CFR 1320.3(c) require that sellers who use calls containing automated verification messages record the entire call, and preserve such recordings for at least three years. In addition, the Rule requires that prescribers either: (a) obtain from patients, and maintain for a period of not less than three years, a signed confirmation of prescription release on a separate stand-alone 1 Final E:\FR\FM\14AUN1.SGM Rule, 85 FR 50668 (Aug. 17, 2020). 14AUN1
