The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has long been one of the most powerful federal agencies, but historically it has rarely used rulemaking. That appears to be changing, however, which has prompted many questions and a great deal of controversy. This webinar will help you understand FTC rulemaking, including what rulemaking authority the agency has, what process the agency must use to do rulemaking, and what policies the FTC may pursue through rulemaking.

In this webinar, panelists from academia and industry will explore the terms of the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (S.2992), a bill that would significantly change U.S. antitrust and competition law and policy.
