Rules and Regulations Under the Fur Products Labeling Act

The Federal Trade Commission (Commission or FTC) has completed its regulatory review of the Rules and Regulations under the Fur Products Labeling Act (Fur Rules). Pursuant to that review, the Commission concludes that the Rules continue to be valuable to both consumers and firms. The regulatory review comments suggested various substantive amendments to the 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 Fur Rules to: Allow for a system of shared information for manufacturer, importer, or other marketer identification among the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) countries; amend Fur Rule 26 (Sec. 301.26) to specify that a Commission registered identification number (RN) will be subject to cancellation if, after a change in the material information contained in the RN application, a new application that reflects current business information is not promptly submitted; and raise from $20 to $85 or more the cost figure for fur trim and other products exempted from the requirements of the Fur Rules.
