 Washington,  DC  --  President  Bush  has  declared  February  5-  11  “National  Consumer  Protection  Week  (NCPW)”  for  2006.  This  year’s  theme,  “Consumer 
 Protection:  It’s  the  Name  of  the  Game,”  is  dedicated  to  educating  consumers  about  unfair  or  deceptive  business  practices  that  affect  their  lives  daily. 


 In  keeping  with  this  year’s  theme,  the  FCC  has  established  a  NCPW  Web  site  designed  to  educate,  as  well  as  entertain,  consumers.  The  Web  site

 telecommunications-  related  games. 
 In  addition  to  the  Web  site,  FCC  staff  will  be  participating  with  staff  of  other  federal  agencies  and  organizations  in  an  Information  Fair  on  February  10,  from  9  to 
 11:  30  AM  at  the  Russell  Senate  Office  Building,  Room  385.  This  event  is  open  to  the  public.
