FTC Negative Option, Junk Fee, and Commercial Surveillance Rulemakings

Former FTC and OMB officials, joined by a longtime FTC practitioner, will discuss the current state of FTC’s proposed rulemakings, covering negative option, junk fees, and commercial surveillance, including how the agency has approached cost-benefit analysis. The panel will explore how companies and other stakeholders could navigate public comments in light of the agency’s new procedures, and how these rules will ultimately fare after the fall of the Chevron doctrine.
