Description:
The FTC is an independent agency that reports to the Congress on its actions. These actions include pursuing vigorous and
effective law enforcement; advancing consumers’ interests by sharing its expertise with federal and state legislatures and
U.S. and international government agencies; developing policy and research tools through hearings, workshops, and conferences;
and creating practical and plain-language educational programs for consumers and businesses in a global marketplace with constantly
changing technologies. The FTC is headed by a commission composed of five commissioners, nominated by the President and confirmed
by the Senate, each serving a seven-year term. The FTC’s mission is carried out by three bureaus: the Bureau of Consumer Protection,
the Bureau of Competition, and the Bureau of Economics. Work is aided by offices, including the Office of General Counsel,
the Office of inspector General, the Office of International Affairs, the Office of the Executive Director, and seven regions.
