Rules and Regulations Under the Fur Products Labeling Act; 
Extension of Time Within Which To File Public Comments

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Extension of time within which to file public comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (the ``Commission'') has 
requested public comments on its Rules and Regulations under the Fur 
Products Labeling Act (59 FR 23645, 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 and Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, 
DC 20580. Submissions should be marked ``Rules and Regulations under 
the Fur Act, 16 CFR part 301--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 Fur 
Products Labeling Act until September 6, 1994.

    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 69 et seq.
