(Please excuse the cross-posts) The FTC has announced that they will delay enforcement of the Red Flags rule, once again. The new deadline is November 1, 2009. For more information, see http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/07/redflag.shtm Excerpt: To assist small businesses and other entities, the Federal Trade Commission staff will redouble its efforts to educate them about compliance with the "Red Flags" Rule and ease compliance by providing 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 more 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. The FTC also announced the availability of a template for Red Flags planning template: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/redflagsrule/get-started.shtm Please let me know if you have any questions. -Rodney -------------------------------------------------- Rodney J.
