Under Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution, Congress was given the exclusive authority to pass laws. You will not find administrative agencies like the FTC mentioned anywhere in the Constitution.

The first question is asking; under what authority does the FTC pass regulations (laws) that Congress should be passing? How did Congress find a way to grant it's exclusive power to pass laws to another government body? You'll find it in Art. I, section 8, subsection 3 of the Constitution.
