FTC Rulemaking Pursuant to Biden’s Executive Order and Beyond: What is Settled, Not Settled, and What to Expect Going Forward
Webinar | 09.01.21, 10:00 AM EDT - 11:00 AM EDT
On July 13, President Biden signed the sweeping Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy, which contained 72 directives to multiple federal agencies aimed at establishing a “whole-of-government” effort to promote competition across broad swaths of the American economy. Many recommendations within that Executive Order called upon the FTC to issue new rules relating to consumer protection, privacy, and competition issues. Even before the Executive Order, several Commissioners and other commentators were calling upon the FTC to exercise its rarely-used independent rulemaking authority to issue new rules to address a broad range of issues.
This webinar will focus on how the FTC and other federal agencies may seek to implement these recommendations and directives to engage in new rulemaking. It will focus on the scope of FTC’s rulemaking authority and the rulemaking process, opportunities companies may have to participate in the rulemaking process, and how to prepare for the challenges new FTC rules may create.
Please join members of Crowell & Moring’s Washington, D.C. office for this informative discussion on the impact of President Biden’s Executive Order.

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
