Rules andRegulations Under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act

Résumé

Based on comments received in response to its Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("ANPR"), the Commission proposes amending the rules and regulations under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act ("Textile Rules" or "Rules") to: Incorporate the updated ISO standard 2076:2010(E); allow certain hang-tags that do not disclose the product's full fiber content information; better address electronic commerce by amending the definition of the terms invoice and invoice or other paper; update the guaranty provisions by, among other things, replacing the requirement that suppliers provide a guaranty signed under penalty of perjury with a certification that must be renewed annually, and revising accordingly the form used to file continuing guaranties with the Commission under the Textile, Fur, and Wool Acts; and clarify several other provisions. The Commission seeks comment on these proposals and several remaining issues.
