The Commission's agenda follows guidelines and procedures issued September 15, 2025, by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the provisions of Executive Order 12866, "Regulatory Planning and Review," 58 FR 51735 (Oct. 4, 1993) and Executive Order 14192, "Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation," 90 FR 9065 (Feb. 6, 2025). The Government-wide Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions includes a list of all regulatory actions under development or review and is scheduled for publication in its entirety on www.reginfo.gov and www.regulations.gov in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain information from the agenda database. The RFA requires publication in the Federal Register of agenda entries for rules that are likely to have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 602) and any such rules that the agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the RFA. For the 2026 agenda, the Commission has no rule that meets the RFA's publication requirements. The Commission has identified rulemakings that are likely to have some impact on small entities, but do not meet the RFA's publication requirements. The current rulemakings that are likely to have some impact on small entities are: (1) the Energy Labeling Rule, 16 CFR 305; (2) the Alternative Fuel Rule, 16 CFR 309; (3) the removal of the vacated 2024 amendments to the Negative Option Rule, 16 CFR 425; (4) the Cooling-Off Rule, 16 CFR 429; (5) the Amplifier Rule, 16 CFR 432; (6) the Business Opportunity Rule, 16 CFR 437; (7) the Impersonation Rule, 16 CFR 461; (8) the withdrawal of the final rule for the vacated Combating Auto Retail Scams Rule (16 CFR 463); (9) the proposed Earnings Claims Trade Regulation Rule, to be codified at 16 CFR 462; (10) Unfair or Deceptive Fees Trade Regulation Rule, 16 CFR 464; and (11) the removal of the vacated Non-Compete Clause Rule from 16 CFR 910. The Commission's rulemaking review process carefully considers regulatory burdens and streamlines rules when feasible and appropriate. The majority of the rulemakings listed in the agenda are being conducted as part of the Commission's systematic review of all of its regulations and guides on a rotating basis. Under the Commission's program, rules are reviewed on a 10-year schedule. In each rule review, the Commission requests public comments on, among other things, the economic impact and benefits of the rule; possible conflict between the rule and state, local, or other federal laws or regulations; and the effect on the rule of any technological, economic, or other industry changes. These reviews incorporate and expand upon the review required by the RFA and regulatory reform initiatives directing agencies to conduct a review of all regulations and eliminate or revise those that are outdated or otherwise in need of reform. Except for notice of completed actions, the information in this agenda represents the judgment of Commission staff, based upon information now available. Each projected date of action reflects FTC staff's assessment that the specified event will occur this year. No final determination by the staff or the Commission respecting the need for or the substance of a rule should be inferred from the notation of projected events in this agenda. In most instances, the dates of future events are listed by month, not by a specific day. The information in this agenda may change as new information, changes of circumstances, or changes in the law occur. 91 FR 53156 · FR Doc. 2026-16617 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-08-14/pdf/2026-16617.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/08/14/2026-16617/regulatory-agenda) ### Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension *Notice* — Federal Trade Commission The Federal Trade Commission (FTC or Commission) is seeking public comment on its proposal to extend for an additional three years the current Paperwork Reduction Act clearance to participate in the Office of Management and Budget program "Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Service Delivery."

Add `mcp.downstream.sh` as an MCP server — no key, no account — then paste this: ``` Using the Downstream MCP server at mcp.downstream.sh, call whats_new_since with agency "Federal Trade Commission" since 2026-08-14, then summarise what changed and list every deadline it created. ``` Reaches `whats_new_since`. The response carries its own citations and states what it is missing, including which dates it has no record for. --- Every document linked here is a work of the United States government and in the public domain. The Federal Register's HTML and XML renderings are unofficial; the PDF on each item is the official text, and that is the one to cite. Counts are arithmetic over published fields, dates are printed as filed, and titles are verbatim. Where we have nothing, this says nothing rather than estimating. The one-sentence agency summaries are machine-written from those same fields and are labelled where they appear.
