The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that it is inviting public input on its proposed Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-2030. The agency updates its strategic plan every four years, outlining its mission, goals, and objectives for the next five-year period. The draft plan maintains the three strategic goal structure used in previous versions but aims to streamline the document and refocus on the FTC’s core mission areas.
In a statement, the FTC said: "The FTC’s strategic plan presents its mission, goals, and objectives for the next five years and sets the metrics by which the agency will measure success. This draft of the FTC’s strategic plan keeps the three strategic goal structure from previous plans, but streamlines the document, refocusing the FTC on its core mission areas. The Commission welcomes feedback on how the draft plan can be further adjusted."
Public comments on this draft are being accepted until October 17, 2025.
The agency reiterated its commitment to promoting competition as well as protecting and educating consumers. It also reminded consumers that it does not demand money or make threats and encouraged people to report scams or bad business practices at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Updates from the agency are available through social media channels, blogs, and press release subscriptions.
