Non-Compete Clause Rule

OMB 3084-0173 · FTC.

OMB 3084-0173

The Federal Trade Commission is issuing a final rule promulgating the Non-Compete Clause Rule. The final rule provides that it is an unfair method of competition and therefore a violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act for persons to enter into non-compete clauses (“non-competes”) with workers on or after the final rule’s effective date. With respect to existing non-competes—i.e., the non-competes entered into before the effective date—the final rule adopts a different approach for senior executives than for other workers. For senior executives, existing non-competes can remain in force, while existing non-competes with other workers are not enforceable after the effective date.

The latest form for Non-Compete Clause Rule expires 2026-04-30 and is listed under ICR 202405-3084-001.
