FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

16 CFR Parts 24, 231, and 247


Guides for the Luggage and Related Products Industry, Guides for 
Shoe Content Labeling and Advertising, and Guides for the Ladies' 
Handbag Industry

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Final Rule; Rescission of Guides.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (the ``Commission''), as part of 
its periodic review of its rules and guides, announces that it has 
concluded a review of its Guides for the Luggage and Related Products 
Industry (``Luggage Guides''); Guides for Shoe Content Labeling and 
Advertising (``Shoe Content Guides''); and Guides for the Ladies' 
Handbag Industry (``Handbag Guides''). The Commission has decided to 
rescind these three Guides. In a document published elsewhere in this 
issue of the Federal Register, the Commission seeks public comment on 
proposed Guides for Select Leather and Imitation Leather Products. The 
Commission is taking this action to clarify and streamline the Guides.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 18, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan E. Arthur, Attorney, (214) 767-
5503, Federal Trade Commission, Dallas Regional Office, 100 N. Central 
Expressway, Suite 500, Dallas, Texas 75201.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to the Commission's request for 
public comment on the Luagge Guides, the Shoe Content Guides, and the 
Ladies' Handbag Guides, the Commission received 12 comments. The 
comments received are discussed in the Commission's request for public 
comment concerning its proposed Guides for Select Leather and Imitation 
Leather Products. That request is located elsewhere in this issue of 
the Federal Register.
    A review of the comments and of the three Guides indicates that 
consolidation of their basic principles into one set of Guides is 
clearly warranted. Therefore, on the basis of the discussion in this 
rule--and the discussion in the Commission's request for public comment 
concerning its proposed Guides for Select Leather and Imitation Leather 
Products, which is located elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 
Register, and which is incorporated herein--16 CFR Parts 24, 231, and 
247 are hereby rescinded.
