The Federal Trade Commission (``FTC'' or ``Commission'') will hold a series of public Workshop sessions at one or more locations to explore how best to distinguish between uses of resale price maintenance (RPM)\1\ that benefit consumers and those that do not, for purposes of enforcing Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 45 (hereinafter ``Sections 1 and 5''). Among other things, the Workshops will examine when and whether particular market facts or conditions make it more or less likely that the use of RPM will be procompetitive or neutral, and when or whether RPM may harm competition and consumers.
