The Federal Trade Commission has revised Rule 2.34 and Rule 3.25(f) of its Rules of Practice, 16 CFR 2.34, 3.25(f) (1996), so that the full text of consent agreements accepted for public comment will no longer be published in the Federal Register. Instead, a summary of each such agreement; the Analysis to Aid Public Comment that accompanies each such agreement; and any Commission or Commissioner statements will be published in the Federal Register after each such agreement is placed on the public record. The Commission is not required by statute to publish the full text of its consent agreements and related documents in the Federal Register. Moreover, complete versions of these materials are publicly available--from the Commission's Office of Public Affairs, on its Internet World Wide Web Home Page (at ``http:// www.ftc.gov/os/actions.htm''), and from its Public Reference Room-- prior to the time they are published in the Federal Register. The substantial expenditure of public funds required to publish full text versions of consent agreements in the Federal Register therefore is not warranted.
