Technically in place since January, the FTC's red flag rules designed to prevent identity theft become fully effective November 1. The regulations require businesses extending credit to customers to have comprehensive programs in place for verifying an applicant's identity, and for taking specific actions if a potential fraud is detected.
The FTC outlines a four-step process:

3. Responding to red flags.
4. Updating policies.
