The Federal Trade Commission ("Commission" or "FTC") is amending its rules of practice to revise the description of the FTC's EEO Office and Regional Offices and to update the list of current control numbers assigned by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") to the Commission's information collection requirements. The Commission is also amending its rules of practice to clarify that FTC staff may consider a variety of relevant issues when modifying a Second Request--i.e., a request for additional information or documentary material relevant to an acquisition the Commission is investigating. In addition, the Commission is amending its rules of practice to clarify the procedures by which Administrative Law Judges ("ALJs") are assigned to administrative adjudicative proceedings and to restore previously deleted language that provided a page limit for opening briefs. Finally, the Commission is amending its rules of practice to update the list of documents that are part of the Commission's public record; to revise and clarify the methods for submitting FOIA requests; to clarify how the Commission calculates a quorum under its quorum rule; and to add several requirements to the procedures governing motions seeking disqualification of Commissioners.
