FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

16 CFR Part 306 

Telemarketing Sales Rule 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’). 

ACTION: Extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: In an August 11, 2014, 

Federal Register Notice, as part of its 

systematic review of all current 

Commission regulations and guides, the 

Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) sought public comment 

on the efficacy, costs, and benefits of the 

Telemarketing Sales Rule (‘‘TSR’’), and 

whether the Commission should retain, 

modify, or rescind it. The Notice stated 

that comments must be received on or 

before October 14, 2014. In response to 

a request received on September 29, 

2014, the Commission has decided to 

extend the comment period, which will 

now close on November 13, 2014. 

DATES: Comments addressing the 

regulatory review of the TSR must be 

received on or before November 13, 

2014.

Washington, DC 20024. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission is extending the comment 

period for its rule review of the TSR to 

November 13, 2014. The Commission’s 

Notice requesting public comment 

posed an extensive list of questions on 

the costs, benefits and efficacy of the 

TSR in the marketplace, and whether 

the Commission should retain, modify, 

or rescind it.1 The Commission also 

specifically requested comment on three 

issues: (1) Whether the preaquired 

account information provisions of the 

TSR should be modified in view of 

current credit card association rules and 

the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence 

Act, 15 U.S.C. 8401 (2010); (2) what 

impact, if any, the increasing use of 

general media to solicit inbound calls 

from consumers to purchase a variety of 

goods or services, including those 

involving a negative option or free trial, 

is having; and (3) the costs and burdens 

of modifying the recordkeeping 

requirements of the TSR to require 

telemarketers to retain their own call 

records. The regulatory review comment 

period was to end on October 14, 2014. 

In a letter dated September 25, 2014, 

which the Commission received on 

September 29, 2014, the Professional 

Association for Customer Engagement 

(‘‘PACE’’) requested that the 

Commission extend the comment period 

for an additional two months. The 

Commission recognizes that the 

extensive list of questions on which it 

has requested public comment raise 

significant issues and believes that 

extending the comment period for 30 

days will be sufficient to facilitate a 

more complete record. 

You can file a comment online or on 

paper. For the Commission to consider 

your comment, we must receive it on or 

before November 13, 2014. Write 

‘‘Telemarketing Sales Rule Regulatory 

Review, 16 CFR Part 310, Project No. 

R411001’’ on your comment. Your 

comment—including your name and 

your state—will be placed on the public 

record of this proceeding, including, to 

the extent practicable, on the public 

Commission Web site, at http://www.ftc.

gov/os/publiccomments.shtm. As a 

matter of discretion, the Commission 

tries to remove individuals’ home 

contact information from comments 

before placing them on the Commission 

Web site. 

Because your comment will be made 

public, you are solely responsible for 

making sure that your comment doesn’t 

include any sensitive personal 

information, such as anyone’s Social 

Security number, date of birth, driver’s 

license number or other state 

identification number or foreign country 

equivalent, passport number, financial 

account number, or credit or debit card 

number. You are also solely responsible 

for making sure that your comment does 

not include any sensitive health 

information, such as medical records or 

other individually identifiable health 

information. In addition, do not include 

any ‘‘[t]rade secret or any commercial or 

financial information . . . which is 

privileged or confidential,’’ as provided 

in Section 6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 

46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR 

4.10(a)(2). In particular, do not include 

competitively sensitive information 

such as costs, sales statistics, 

inventories, formulas, patterns, devices, 

manufacturing processes, or customer 

names. If you want the Commission to 

give your comment confidential 

treatment, you must file it in paper 

form, with a request for confidential 

treatment, and you have to follow the 

procedure explained in FTC Rule 4.9(c), 

16 CFR 4.9(c). Your comment will be 

kept confidential only if the FTC 

General Counsel grants your request in 

accordance with the law and the public 

interest. 

Postal mail addressed to the 

Commission is subject to delay due to 

heightened security screening. As a 

result, we encourage you to submit your 

comments online. To make sure that the 

Commission considers your online 

comment, you must file it at https://
