Opinion Letter
Frprvary 17, 1971
Dear Mr. BRAUNSTEIN: ~ oe

This reply is in response to your letter ‘of November 25, 1970, requesting an advisory opinion concerning the legality of a proposed reciprocal advertising plan.

As the Commission understands the facts, supermarkets will use space on their private-label packaging and shopping bags for advertising of local television and radio stations. A credit will be allowed the supermarket based on the number and type of packages

carrying the message. In turn, a time credit. will be built up by the supermarket with the broadcasters involved. This credit will be used by the supermarket to advertise the store and ‘its privately labeled merchandise. The promoter of this plan will receive compensation from the supermarket, and no manufacturer or supplier of any product sold by the supermarket will be involved in any way with this promotion.

The Commission has given this matter careful ‘consideration, and is of the view, based on the information furnished, that an advisory opinion would be inappropriate under Section 1.1 (c) of the Commission’s rules, because the proposed course of -action or its effects are ‘such that an informed decision thereon cannot be made or could be made only after extensive investigation and collateral inquiry. This action implies neither approval nor disapproval of the course

of action here involved.
By direction of the Commission.
