Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To 

Aid Public Comment 

The Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, 

subject to final approval, an agreement 

containing a consent order from 

AmeriFreight, Inc. (‘‘AmeriFreight’’) and 

Marius Lehmann, an officer of 

AmeriFreight (‘‘Respondents’’). 

The proposed consent order 

(‘‘proposed order’’) has been placed on 

the public record for thirty (30) days for 

receipt of comments by interested 

persons. Comments received during this 

period will become part of the public 

record. After thirty (30) days, the 

Commission will again review the 

agreement and the comments received, 

and will decide whether it should

1 79 FR 74722. 

2Section 4 of the FPLA specifically requires 

packages or labels to be marked with: (1) A 

statement of identity; (2) a net quantity of contents 

disclosure; and (3) the name and place of business 

of the company responsible for the product. The 

FPLA Rules, 16 CFR parts 500–503, specify how 

manufacturers, packagers, and distributors of 

‘‘consumer commodities’’ must do this. 

withdraw from the agreement or make 

final the agreement’s proposed order. 

AmeriFreight is an automobile 

shipment broker—that is, it arranges 

shipment of consumers’ automobiles 

through third-party freight carriers. This 

matter involves AmeriFreight’s online 

advertising for those services. The 

Commission’s complaint alleges that the 

Respondents violated Section 5(a) of the 

Federal Trade Commission Act by 

misrepresenting that AmeriFreight was 

a highly rated or top-ranked automobile 

shipment broker based on its customers’ 

unbiased reviews. The complaint also 

alleges that AmeriFreight failed to 

disclose that it paid consumers to post 

reviews. 

The proposed order includes 

injunctive relief that prohibits these 

alleged violations and fences in similar 

and related violations. 

Part I of the Order prohibits the 

Respondents from misrepresenting that 

their products or services are highly 

rated or top-ranked based on unbiased 

customer reviews or that their customer 

reviews are unbiased. 

Part II of the Order requires the 

Respondents, when using an 

endorsement to advertise any product or 

service, to clearly and prominently 

disclose a material connection, if one 

exists, between the person providing the 

endorsement and Respondents. 

Part III contains recordkeeping 

requirements for advertisements and 

other documents relevant to the order. 

Parts IV through VII of the proposed 

order require Respondents to: Deliver a 

copy of the order to principals, officers, 

directors, managers, employees, agents, 

and representatives having 

responsibilities with respect to the 

subject matter of the order; notify the 

Commission of changes in corporate 

structure, discontinuance of current 

business or employment, or affiliation 

with any new business or employment 

that might affect compliance obligations 

under the order; and file compliance 

reports with the Commission. 

Part VIII provides that the order will 

terminate after twenty (20) years, with 

certain exceptions. 

The purpose of this analysis is to 

facilitate public comment on the 

proposed order, and it is not intended 

to constitute an official interpretation of 

the complaint or proposed order, or to 

modify the proposed order’s terms in 

any way. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.

and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for review, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (‘‘PRA’’). The FTC intends to ask 

OMB to extend for an additional three 

years the current PRA clearance for the 

FTC’s enforcement of the information 

collection requirements in its Fair 

Packaging and Labeling Act regulations 

(‘‘FPLA Rules’’). That clearance expires 

on May 31, 2015. 

DATES: Comments must be filed by April 

6, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a 

comment online or on paper, by 

following the instructions in the 

Request for Comment part of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 

below. Write ‘‘FPLA Rules, PRA 

Comment, P074200’’ on your comment 

and file your comment online at 

https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 16, 2014, the FTC sought 

public comment on the information 

collection requirements associated with 

the FPLA Rules (December 16, 2014 

Notice1), 16 CFR parts 500–503 (OMB 

Control Number 3084–0110).2 No 

relevant comments were received. 

Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR 

part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is providing 

this second opportunity for public 

comment while seeking OMB approval 

to renew the pre-existing clearance for 

the Rule. All comments should be filed 

as prescribed herein, and must be 

received on or before April 6, 2015. 

Burden Statement 

As detailed in the December 16, 2014 

Notice, the FTC estimates cumulative 

annual burden on affected entities to be 

8,015,140 hours and $185,149,734 in 

labor costs. Commission staff believes 

that the FPLA Rules impose negligible 

capital or other non-labor costs, as the 

affected entities are likely to have the 

necessary supplies and/or equipment 

already (e.g., offices and computers) to 

implement the packaging and labeling 

disclosure requirements under the FPLA 

Rules. 

Request for Comment
