The U.S. federal agency is the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), established by the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 to safeguard consumers from deceptive practices including fraudulent sweepstakes and prize promotions [1]. 1. The Act assigned the first five commissioners staggered exact term lengths to establish annual expirations: one served 1 year, one 2 years, one 3 years, one 5 years, and one 7 years; the President designated these terms at appointment, with a strict ban on two commissioners from the same political party to preserve nonpartisanship and balanced oversight [1]. 2. Reorganization Plan 8 of 1950 transferred the FTC’s core executive and administrative functions—including budget formulation, staff supervision, interagency coordination, and day-to-day operational oversight—from the full collective Commission to the Chairman, formalizing the latter’s role as the agency’s principal executive officer [2]. 3. Reorganization Plan 1 of 1970 granted the Commission explicit authority to delegate its investigative, adjudicative, and regulatory functions to individual commissioners or qualified staff [3]. Under this plan, a 3-vote majority of the full 5-member Commission is required to compel a comprehensive review of any action delegated to an individual commissioner or employee; this threshold balances efficiency in routine tasks with deliberate collective oversight of high-stakes or controversial delegated actions [3]. ## References [1] Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914, 15 U.S.C. § 41.
