FTC Seeks Input About Year 2000 Problem and its Impact on Consumers
====================================================================
In an effort to determine the impact on movie goers and other consumers of the failure of computer systems to process, store, display, or use dates correctly beginning in the year 2000, the Federal Trade Commission today published a Federal Register notice seeking public comment on the scope of the potential problem.
In its notice, the Commission specifically seeks comment on what types of computer software and electronic products are likely to experience Y2K problems, as well as what steps have been taken or will be taken by software publishers, electronics manufacturers, and others to notify consumers of any anticipated Y2K problems and how to remedy such problems.
The agency also wants to learn how various segments of the consumer financial services industry, including finance companies, consumer credit reporting agencies and other businesses, will be affected.
In addition, the notice seeks comment on the public's interest in the Commission holding workshops on Y2K issues.
