Rules and Regulations Under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act

The Federal Trade Commission ("Commission") solicits comments on whether to amend Rule 7(c) 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 "polyester" for a specifically proposed subclass of polyester fibers manufactured by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company ("DuPont"), of Wilmington, Delaware. DuPont suggested the name "elasterell-p" for the fiber, which it described as an inherently elastic, bicomponent textile fiber consisting of two substantially different forms of polyester fibers, and referred to as "T400."
