Target exceeded. In FY 2010, the FTC provided policy advice in 64 instances, through consultations, written submissions, or
comments. Enhanced engagement with new and developing foreign consumer protection and privacy agencies, as well as participation
in additional international organizations that are now working on consumer protection and privacy issues, has resulted in
an increased demand for the FTC’s policy advice. The agency will continue to monitor the target of this new measure and will
reassess it after additional performance cycles. Data Source: Information on the international activities of the FTC is produced
by the agency’s Office of International Affairs.
