FTC Announces Further Extension On ‘Red Flags’ Rule Implementation To November 1st
To support small businesses and other entities, the Federal Trade Commission faculty will intensify its efforts to educate them about compliance with the “Red Flags” Rule and ease compliance by provisioning additional resources and guidance to clarify whether businesses are covered by the Rule and what they must do to comply. To give creditors and financial institutions additional time to review this guidance and develop and implement written Identity Theft Prevention Programs, the FTC will further delay enforcement of the Rule until November 1, 2009.
