Advertising Practices, Bureau of

Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue,

2775. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’), 44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520, Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from OMB for 

each collection of information they 

conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of 

information’’ means agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3); 5 C.F.R. 1320.3(c). As required 

by section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the 

FTC is providing this opportunity for 

public comment before requesting that 

OMB extend the existing paperwork 

clearance for the regulations noted 

herein. 

The FTC invites comments on: (1) 

Whether the required collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information has practical utility; (2) the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the required collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology, e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. All comments 

should be filed as prescribed in the 

ADDRESSES section above, and must be 

received on or before February 16, 2007. 

The Contact Lens Rule (‘‘Rule’’), 16 

CFR Part 315, was promulgated by the 

FTC pursuant to the Fairness to Contact 

Lens Consumers Act (‘‘FCLCA’’), Pub. L. 

No. 108–164 (December 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. As 

mandated by the FCLCA, the Rule 

requires the release and verification of 

contact lens prescriptions 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 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. In addition, the Rule 

imposes recordkeeping requirements on 

contact lens prescribers and sellers. For 

example, the Rule requires prescribers 

to document in their patients’ records 

the medical reasons for setting a contact 

lens prescription expiration date of less 

than one year. The Rule requires contact 

lens sellers to maintain records for three 

years of all direct communications 

involved in obtaining verification of a 

contact lens prescription, as well as 

prescriptions, or copies thereof, which 

they receive directly from customers or 

prescribers. 

The information retained under the 

Rule’s recordkeeping requirements is 

used by the Commission to substantiate 

compliance with the Rule and may also 

provide a basis for the Commission to 

bring an enforcement action. Without 

the required records, it would be 

difficult either to ensure that entities are 

complying with the Rule’s requirements 

or to bring enforcement actions based on 

violations of the Rule. 

Commission staff estimates the 

paperwork burden of the FCLCA and 

Rule based on its knowledge of the eye 

care industry. Staff believes there will
