1The hourly wage rates for sales and related 

workers are updated from the 60-Day Federal 

Register notice and are based on mean hourly 

wages found at https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ 

ocwage.htm (‘‘Occupational Employment and 

Wages–May 2021,’’ U.S. Department of Labor, 

released March 2022, Table 1 (‘‘National 

employment and wage data from the Occupational 

Employment Statistics survey by occupation, May 

2021’’). 

Today’s enforcement actions—the first 

addressing unlawful repair restrictions 

since we adopted the policy statement— 

mark an important step forward, 

demonstrating our commitment to 

vigorously protecting Americans’ right 

to repair. We are grateful to the Bureau 

of Consumer Protection staff for their 

excellent work driving this effort 

forward. 

Illegal repair restrictions can 

significantly raise costs for consumers, 

stifle innovation, close off business 

opportunity for independent repair 

shops, create unnecessary electronic 

waste, delay timely repairs, and 

undermine resiliency—harms that can 

have an outsized impact on low-income 

communities in particular.2 It is critical 

that unlawful repair restrictions 

continue to be a key area of focus for the 

Commission and that we continue to 

use all of our tools and authorities to 

root out these illegal practices.

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission 

(FTC). 

ACTION: Notice and request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The FTC requests that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) extend for three years the current 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

clearance for information collection 

requirements contained in the agency’s 

Mail, internet, or Telephone Order 

Merchandise Rule (MITOR or Rule). 

That clearance expires on July 31, 2022. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

August 5, 2022.

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jock 

Chung, 202–326–2984, Attorney,

Consumer Protection, 600 Pennsylvania 

Avenue NW, Mail Drop CC–9528, 

Washington, DC 20580. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Mail, internet, or Telephone 

Order Merchandise Rule (MITOR or 

Rule), 16 CFR part 435. 

OMB Control Number: 3084–0106. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: Generally, the MITOR 

requires a seller (or merchant) to: (1) 

have a reasonable basis for any express 

or implied shipment representation 

made in soliciting the sale (if no express 

time period is promised, the implied 

shipment representation is 30 days); (2) 

notify the buyer (or consumer) and 

obtain the buyer’s consent to any delay 

in shipment; and (3) make prompt and 

full refunds when the buyer exercises a 

cancellation option or the seller is 

unable to meet the Rule’s other 

requirements. 

On March 21, 2022, the FTC sought 

comment on the information collection 

requirements associated with the Rule. 

87 FR 15995. The FTC received no 

germane comments during the public 

comment period. Pursuant to 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 preexisting clearance for the Rule. For more 

details about the Rule requirements and 

the basis for the calculations 

summarized below, see 87 FR 15995. 

Likely Respondents: Businesses 

engaged in the sale of merchandise by 

mail, internet or telephone. 

Estimated Annual Hours Burden: 

3,117,410 hours. 

Third Party Disclosure: [(53,300 

established businesses × 50 hours) + 

(1,967 new entrants × 230 hours) = 

3,117,410 hours. 

Estimated Annual Cost Burden: 

$80,304,482, which is derived from 

3,117,410 hours × $25.76/hour.1
