FTC Chairman Joseph Simons was previously sworn in the day before. The fifth Commissioner, Maureen Ohlhausen, who served as Acting FTC Chairman for more than a year, apparently plans to continue as a Commissioner until her term expires or her judicial appointment is confirmed.
{ "With such a strong group of Commissioners, I know we can carry on the agency's legacy of advancing the interests of American consumers and promoting competition in the U.S. economy," said Chairman Simons.
