used to incentivize strong consumer
privacy outcomes are deployed in
proportion to the scale and scope of the
information an organization is handling.
In general, small businesses that collect
little personal information and do not
maintain sensitive information about
their customers should not be the
primary targets of privacy-enforcement
activity, so long as they make good-faith
efforts to utilize privacy protections.
Similarly, there should be a distinction
between organizations that control
personal data and third-party vendors
that merely process that personal data
on behalf of other organizations. Just as
organizations should employ outcomebased approaches when developing
privacy protections for their customers,
the government should do the same
with its approach to privacy
enforcement and compliance.
II. Request for Comment
A. Through this RFC, the Department
is first seeking feedback on what it
believes are the core privacy outcomes
that consumers can expect from
organizations.
1. Are there other outcomes that
should be included, or outcomes that
should be expanded upon as separate
items?
2. Are the descriptions clear? Beyond
clarity, are there any issues raised by
how any of the outcomes are described?
3. Are there any risks that accompany
the list of outcomes, or the general
approach taken in the list of outcomes?
B. The Department is also seeking
feedback on the proposed high-level
goals for an end-state for U.S. consumerprivacy protections.
1. Are there other goals that should be
included, or outcomes that should be
expanded upon?
2. Are the descriptions clear? Beyond
clarity, are there any issues raised by
how the issues are described?
3. Are there any risks that accompany
the list of goals, or the general approach
taken by the Department?
C. The Department is seeking
comments that describe what the next
steps and measures the Administration
should take to effectuate the previously
discussed user-centric privacy
outcomes, and to achieve an end-state in
line with the high-level goals. In
particular:
1. Are there any aspects of this
approach that could be implemented or
enhanced through Executive action, for
example, through procurement? Are
there any non-regulatory actions that
could be undertaken? If so, what actions
should the Executive branch take?
2. Should the Department convene
people and organizations to further

Jkt 244001

explore additional commercial data
privacy-related issues? If so, what is the
recommended focus and desired
outcomes?
3. What aspects of the Department’s
proposed approach to consumer
privacy, if any, are best achieved via
other means? Are there any
recommended statutory changes?
D. The Department understands that
some of the most important work in
establishing privacy protections lies
within the definitions of key terms, and
seeks comments on the defintions. In
particular:
1. Do any terms used in this
document require more precise
definitions?
2. Are there suggestions on how to
better define these terms?
3. Are there other terms that would
benefit from more precise definitions?
4. What should those definitions be?
E. One of the high-level end-state
goals is for the FTC to continue as the
Federal consumer privacy enforcement
agency, outside of sectoral exceptions
beyond the FTC’s jurisdiction. In order
to achieve the goals laid out in this RFC,
would changes need to be made with
regard to the FTC’s resources, processes,
and/or statutory authority?
F. If all or some of the outcomes or
high-level goals described in this RFC
were replicated by other countries, do
you believe it would be easier for U.S.
companies to provide goods and
services in those countries?
G. Are there other ways to achieve
U.S. leadership that are not included in
this RFC, or any outcomes or high-level
goals in this document that would be
detrimental to achieving the goal of
achieving U.S. leadership?

Register notice of the proposed
extension of this information collection

Commission did not receive any
relevant comments on the 60-Day
Notice.
Burden Statement: For this collection,
the Commission is revising its burden
