FTC Decisions Online

From the press release dated Nov. 15, 2006:

FTC Decisions Since 1969 Now Available Online

The Federal Trade Commission announced today that Commission actions from the past 37 years, including documents previously available to the general public only in book form, are now available on the agency’s Web site. These volumes – more than 70,000 pages covering 1969 through 2005 – contain virtually all administrative documents issued by the Commission, including Opinions, Final Orders, Complaints, and Consent Orders that result from negotiated consent agreements, as well as all Initial Decisions issued by Administrative Law Judges in administrative trial proceedings
[snip]
Future FTC Decisions Volumes also will include Commission analyses to aid public comment, and will be posted online semiannually. In addition, Volumes 1-74 (1914 through 1968), formerly available to the general public only in book form, also will be posted online.

The index to the decisions is located at http://www.ftc.gov/os/decisions/index.htm . I saw a reference to this at BeSpacific.com.
