| 96-32260 | Rules and Regulations Under the Wool Products Labeling Act | Proposed Rule | The Federal Trade Commission (Commission or FTC) has completed its regulatory review of the Rules and Regulations under the Wool Products Labeling Act (Wool Rules). Pursuant to that review the Commission concludes that the Wool Rules continue to be valuable to both consumers and firms. The regulatory review comments suggested various substantive amendments to the Wool Rules. The Commission has considered these proposals and other proposals that it believes merit further inquiry. The Commission seeks comment on whether it should amend the Wool Rules to: Allow the listing of generic fiber names for fibers that have a functional significance and are present in the amount of less than 5% of the total fiber weight of a wool product, without requiring disclosure of the functional significance of the fiber, as presently required by Wool Rule 3(b); eliminate the requirement of Wool Rule 10(a) that the front side of a cloth label, which is sewn to the product so that both sides of the label are readily accessible to the prospective purchaser, bear the wording ``Fiber Content on Reverse Side'' when the fiber content disclosure is listed on the reverse side of the label; allow for a system of shared information for manufacturer, importer, or other marketer identification among the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) countries; add a provision to Wool Rule 4 specifying that a Commission registered identification number (RN) will be subject to cancellation if, after a change in the material information contained on the RN application, a new application that reflects current business information is not promptly submitted; allow the use of abbreviations for generic fiber names; and allow the use of abbreviations and symbols in country of origin labeling. The Commission also seeks comment on the possible need to expand the fiber content disclosure requirement in Wool Rule 19 to include specialty fibers other than the hair or fleece of the angora or cashmere goat. | 1996-12-24 | 1996 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1996/12/24/96-32260/rules-and-regulations-under-the-wool-products-labeling-act | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-12-24/pdf/96-32260.pdf | Federal Trade Commission | 192 | The Federal Trade Commission (Commission or FTC) has completed its regulatory review of the Rules and Regulations under the Wool Products Labeling Act (Wool Rules).
