SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (the ``Commission'') has 
requested public comments on its Rules and Regulations under the 
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 October 15, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be directed to: Secretary, Federal Trade 
Commission, Room H-159, Sixth & Pennsylvania Ave., 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 Blvd., Suite 13209, Los Angeles, CA 
90024, (310) 235-7890.

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 
subsequently extended the comment period until September 6, 1994.
    The Commission has received a letter seeking extension of these 
comment periods from the American Textile Manufacturers Institute, a 
trade association representing large numbers of interested members 
subject to the marking requirements of the Textile, Wool, and Fur Acts. 
In addition to this formal request for extension, Commission staff has 
been contacted by other trade associations 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 October 15, 1994.

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