SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Commission’s Class Action 

Fairness Project strives to ensure that 

class action settlements in consumer 

protection and competition matters 

provide appropriate benefits to 

consumers and that class action counsel 

or defendants are not inappropriately 

benefitting at the expense of class 

members. As part of this program, the 

FTC monitors class actions and files 

amicus briefs or intervenes in 

appropriate cases; 1 coordinates with 

state, federal, and private groups to 

advise them and to seek suggestions on 

matters that merit FTC attention; and 

monitors the progress of legislation and 

class action rule changes. 

II. The FTC’s Proposed Study 

A. Study Description 

To further these goals, the FTC plans 

to conduct an Internet-based consumer 

research study to explore consumer 

perceptions of class action notices, 

including whether consumers 

understand the options provided in the 

notices and the implications of such 

options. The proposed Study will gauge 

consumer comprehension of the options 

conveyed by the notice and the 

implications of each option for the 

respondent. Specifically, using a 

treatment-effect methodology, the study 

will examine whether respondents
