Definitions, Implementation, and Reporting Requirements Under the CAN-SPAM Act
In this document, the Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'' or ``FTC'') proposes rules pursuant to several distinct provisions of the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (``CAN-SPAM'' or ``the Act''). Specifically, section 7702(17)(B) grants the FTC discretionary authority to prescribe rules modifying the Act's definition of ``transactional or relationship message.'' Section 7704(c)(1) authorizes the Commission to adopt a rule modifying the ten-business-day period senders (and those acting on their behalf) have under the Act to process recipients' ``opt-out'' requests with respect to ``commercial electronic mail messages.'' Section 7704(c)(2) authorizes the Commission to adopt a rule specifying activities or practices that would be considered ``aggravated violations'' by section 7704(b) of the Act, in addition to the aggravated violations already specified in the statute. Finally, section 7711(a) gives the FTC discretionary authority to ``issue regulations to implement the provisions of [the] Act.'' This document invites written comments on issues raised by the proposed Rule and seeks answers to the specific questions set forth in Part VII of this NPRM.
