The standard regulatory review schedule includes a request for public comment on its rule implementing the CAN-SPAM Act. Specifically, without limitation, the Act requires that a commercial email contain accurate header and subject lines, identify itself as an advertisements, include a valid physical address, and offer recipients a way to opt-out of future messages.
