SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (the ``Commission'') has

Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (59 FR 23646, May 6, 1994).

The Commission solicited the comments as part of its periodic review of

rules and guides.

DATES: Written comments will be accepted until September 6, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be directed to: Secretary, Federal Trade

Commission, Room H-159, Sixth & Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC

20580. Submissions should be marked ``Rules and Regulations under the

Textile Act, 16 CFR part 303--Comment.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Bret S. Smart, Program Advisor, Los Angeles Regional Office, Federal

Trade Commission, 11000 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 13209, Los Angeles,

CA 90024, (310) 575-7890.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of the on-going regulatory review of

its rules and guides, the Commission on May 6, 1994 published requests

for public comments concerning three related sets of regulations: (1)

Rules and Regulations under the Wool Products Labeling Act, (2) Rules

and Regulations under the Fur Products Labeling Act, and (3) Rules and

Regulations under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act. The

comments were to be accepted until June 6, 1994.

The Commission has received letters seeking extension of these

comment periods from the American Textile Manufacturers Institute and

the National Knitwear & Sportswear Association. Both trade associations

represent large numbers of interested members subject to the marking

requirements of the Textile, Wool, and Fur Acts. In addition to these

formal requests for extension, Commission staff has been contacted by

other trade associations, individual companies, and interested entities

who intend to comment or would like to comment and have stated that,

because of the widespread coverage and complexity of these regulations,

the comment periods should be extended.

To allow all interested persons the opportunity to supply

information to the Commission, the Commission hereby extends the period

within which to comment on its Rules and Regulations under the Textile

Fiber Products Identification Act until September 6, 1994.

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 70 et seq.
