"The FTC is the preeminent consumer protection regulatory agency of our Federal Government. The consumer looks to the Commission for protection against unfair or deceptive acts and anticompetitive practices by business, in or affecting interstate commerce. Regional office operations of any Federal agency are important not merely because they bring Government directly to the people in a physical sense; but because in many instances, violations of Federal laws can only be detected and corrected at the local level. As the principal consumer law enforcement agency of the Government, it is particularly important that the FTC regional offices be productive. When they are not, when they are unable to act quickly and decisively against anticonsumer behavior, then the overall effectiveness of the Federal Trade Commission is jeopardized, and the Federal responsibility to consumers is left unmet"--Page 1.

In June 1998, FTC Commissioners approved a proposal to restructure FTC's regional operations to include (1) reconfiguring the 10 existing regional offices to 8 offices in 7 regions; (2) closing the Boston and Denver regional offices and shifting responsibility for the states covered by those offices to other regional offices; (3) merging the management and administration of the 2 California offices (Los Angeles and San Francisco) under 1 director, located in San Francisco; (4) allowing all staff in the closing offices to transfer to other offices; (5) transferring the 33 staff positions from the 2 closing regions to other regional offices and headquarters; and (6) focusing FTC's regional work on competition or antitrust matters in 3 proposed regional antitrust centers-most probably located in San Francisco, Cleveland, and New York City-with the other regions continuing to perform this work only on a limited basis. FTC suspended plans to implement its restructuring proposal, pending the completion of this report. FTC's proposed regions and their corresponding offices would be the Northeast Region (New York City), East Central Region (Cleveland), Southeast Region (Atlanta), Midwest Region (Chicago), Southwest Region (Dallas), Northwest Region (Seattle), and Western Region (San Francisco and Los Angeles). Figures 1.1 and 1.2 in appendix I show FTC's current and proposed regional structures. As agreed, the objectives of this report are to provide information on (1) FTC's rationale for proposing the regional restructuring, (2) the process FTC followed in developing its restructuring proposal, (3) factors FTC used and could have used in deciding how to restructure, (4) other options to the proposed restructuring identified in prior FTC studies or by Boston and Denver regional officials, and (5) the views of selected stakeholders regarding the impact the proposed restructuring could have in the areas covered by the Boston and Denver regional offices.
