FTC extends MITOR info collection
The Federal Trade Commission asked OMB to extend its information-collection clearance for the Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Rule (MITOR) for three years so the clearance continues through August 31, 2028. The existing clearance would have expired on August 31, 2025. This keeps businesses that sell by mail, online, or phone subject to the same information collection rules that help protect shoppers from scams and does not introduce new costs or major changes.
