Sec. 3.56  Effective date of orders; application for stay.

    (a) Other than consent orders, an order to cease and desist under 
section 5 of the FTC Act becomes effective upon the sixtieth day after 
service, except as provided in section 5(g)(3) of the FTC Act, and 
except for divestiture provisions, as provided in section 5(g)(4) of the 
FTC Act.
    (b) Any party subject to a cease and desist order under section 5 of 
the FTC Act, other than a consent order, may apply to the Commission for 
a stay of all or part of that order pending judicial review. If, within 
30 days after the application was received by the Commission, the 
Commission either has denied or has not acted on the application, a stay 
may be sought in a court of appeals where a petition for review of the 
order is pending.
    (c) An application for stay shall state the reasons a stay is 
warranted and the facts relied upon, and shall include supporting 
affidavits or other sworn statements, and a copy of the relevant 
portions of the record. The application shall address the likelihood of 
the applicant's success on appeal, whether the applicant will suffer 
irreparable harm if a stay is not granted, the degree of injury to other 
parties if a stay is granted, and why the stay is in the public 
interest.
    (d) An application for stay shall be filed within 30 days of service 
of the order on the party. Such application shall be served in 
accordance with the provisions of Sec. 4.4(b) of this part that are 
applicable to service in adjudicative proceedings. Any party opposing 
the application may file an answer within 5 business days after receipt 
of the application. The applicant may file a reply brief, limited to new 
matters raised by the answer, within 3 business days after receipt of 
the answer.
