FTC Issues Final Rules on CANSPAM

The Federal Trade Commission has issued final rules under the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003. 

The FTC had proposed rules on May 12, 2005, and requested public comments. 

The final rule includes a substantial preamble, in which the FTC addresses issues raised by various commenters on the initial proposal. 

The Table of Contents for the final rules is as follows:

PART 316--CAN-SPAM RULE
Sec.316.1 Scope.
316.2 Definitions.
316.3 Primary purpose.
316.4 Requirement to place warning labels on commercial
electronic mail that contains sexually oriented material.
316.5 Prohibition on charging a fee or imposing other
requirements on recipients who wish to opt out.
316.6 Severability.

The preamble gives significant insight to the agency’s analysis.  For a copy of the preamble and complete final rule, please click here.
