FTC RIN: 3084-AB38 Publication ID: Fall 2016 
Title: CAN-SPAM Rule 
Abstract:

The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (the CAN-SPAM Act or the Act) was enacted on December 16, 2003, and sets rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have senders of commercial email stop emailing them, and provides for penalties for violations. The FTC issued the CAN-SPAM Rule (Rule) to implement the Act, as authorized by the statute.

 

As part of its ongoing systematic review of all Federal Trade Commission rules and guides, in late 2016 the Commission plans to request 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.
