Rules and Regulations Under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act

The Federal Trade Commission ("Commission") solicits comments on whether to amend Rule 7(m) of the Rules and Regulations Under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act ("Textile Rules") to establish a new generic fiber subclass name and definition as an alternative to the generic name "olefin" for a specifically proposed subclass of olefin fibers manufactured by the Dow Chemical Company ("Dow"), of Midland, Michigan. Dow suggested the name "lastol" for the fiber, which it described as an elastic, cross-linked olefin fiber capable of retaining its shape at high temperatures and referred to as "CEF."
