Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To
Aid Public Comment
The Federal Trade Commission
(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) has accepted,
subject to final approval, an agreement
containing a consent order from Made
in the USA Brand, LLC. (‘‘Respondent’’).
The proposed consent order has been
placed on the public record for thirty
(30) days for receipt of comments by
interested persons. Comments received
during this period will become part of
the public record. After thirty (30) days,
the Commission will again review the
agreement and the comments received,
and will decide whether it should
withdraw from the agreement or make
final the agreement’s proposed order.
This matter involves Respondent’s
marketing, sale, and distribution of
licenses to use its ‘‘Made in USA’’
certification mark to companies wishing
to make U.S.-origin claims for their
products. According to the FTC’s
complaint, Respondent represented that
products and entities using
Respondent’s certification mark were
independently and objectively
evaluated for compliance with
Respondent’s accreditation standard.
These claims were false or misleading.
Additionally, the complaint alleges that
Respondent did not possess and rely
upon a reasonable basis to substantiate
its claims that entities promoted on its
Web site sold products that are all or
virtually all made in the United States.
In fact, in numerous instances, entities
promoted on Respondent’s Web site
have sold products containing
significant imported content. Finally,
the complaint alleges that Respondent
distributed promotional materials to
third-party marketers for use in the
marketing and sale of those third
parties’ products, providing the means
and instrumentalities to those marketers
to commit deceptive acts or practices.
Accordingly, the complaint concludes
that Respondent engaged in deceptive
acts or practices in violation of Section
5(a) of the FTC Act.
The proposed consent order contains
provisions designed to prevent
Respondent from engaging in similar
acts and practices in the future.
Specifically, Part I prohibits Respondent
from representing, expressly or by
implication, that covered entities meet
Respondent’s accreditation standard,
unless: (1) An entity with no material
connection to that covered entity
conducted an independent and
objective evaluation to confirm that the
accreditation standard was met; or (2)
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:53 Jul 25, 2014
Jkt 232001
Respondent’s mark and marketing
materials prominently disclose that the
accreditation standard may be met
through self-certification.
Part II prohibits Respondent from
making any country of origin claim
about a product authorized to use
Respondent’s certification mark unless:
(1) The claim is true, not misleading,
and Respondent has a reasonable basis
substantiating the representation; or (2)
for representations made through use of
Respondent’s certification mark,
Respondents clearly and prominently
disclose that covered entities may meet
the accreditation standard through selfcertification.
Part III prohibits Respondent from
providing third-party retailers with the
means and instrumentalities to make the
claims prohibited in Part I.
Parts IV through VIII are reporting and
compliance provisions. Part IV requires
Respondent to keep and make available
to the Commission on request: Copies of
advertisements, labeling, packaging, and
promotional materials containing the
representations identified in Parts I and
II; materials relied upon in
disseminating those representations;
evidence that contradicts, qualifies, or
calls into question the representations
or the basis relied upon for the
representations; and all
acknowledgments of receipt of the
Order. Part V requires Respondent to
disseminate the Order to principals,
officers, directors, and managers, and to
all current and future employees,
agents, and representatives having
responsibilities relating to the subject
matter of the order. Part VI requires
notification to the FTC of changes in
Respondent’s corporate status. Part VII
requires Respondent to submit an initial
compliance report to the FTC within
sixty (60) days of service and
subsequent reports upon request.
Finally, Part VIII is a ‘‘sunset’’
provision, terminating the order after
twenty (20) years, with certain
exceptions.
The purpose of this analysis is to aid
public comment on the proposed order.
It is not intended to constitute an
official interpretation of the proposed
order or to modify its terms in any way.

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for
the proposed information collection is
published to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address any of the
following: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies’ estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) Minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and (e) Assess information
collection costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or
send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Written
comments and/or suggestions regarding

ROPS Attributes Identified by
Distribution Channel Intermediaries—

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 144 / Monday, July 28, 2014 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote safety and health
at work for all people through research
and prevention.
High rates of traumatic injury are
associated with the use of older tractors
that are not equipped with rollover
protective structures (ROPS), which
have been proven to reduce tractorrollovers, a leading cause of injury to
agricultural workers. To reduce the
incidence of traumatic injury among
farm workers, NIOSH proposes to
administer stated-preference
questionnaires designed to assess
preference among a group of tractorparts dealers in Pennsylvania, New
York, New Hampshire and Vermont,
who have membership in the Northeast
Equipment Dealers’ Association
(NEDA). NEDA is a trade group for
tractor parts dealers and is active in 12
States in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic
States. This information will be used to
assess the impediments and barriers to
adoption, as well as the incentives, for
the distribution and sale of ROPS.
ROPS are generally provided to end
users by tractor parts dealers, who
constitute distribution channel
intermediaries between the
manufacturer and the consumer.
However, little is known about the
decision processes that tractor parts
dealers follow in deciding whether or
not to provide ROPS to end users. The
current project will generate ranking
scores for the importance given to
various items of concern to tractor parts
dealers; these most-important items
were previously developed through
review of relevant research studies.
CDC proposes to collect customized
information, from 520 NEDA
establishments, over a one-month
period. This information will be of three
kinds: 1. General screening information
as to the appropriateness of
administering a survey to the
respondent organization; 2. Limited
respondent perception of the
demographic characteristics on the
client base served by the NEDA
establishment, and 3. Importance
ranking of attributes of the process of
providing ROPS, or the ROPS
configuration itself.
This information will allow CDC to
compile a systematic, quantifiable
inventory of preference data for a group
that is considered representative of
tractor parts dealers nationwide. It will
also allow CDC to develop
recommendations for overcoming the
barriers that have compromised the
effectiveness of occupational health and
safety programs.
The total estimated burden for the
one-time retrospective data collection is
43 hours as indicated in the table below.
The average burden per response is 5
minutes. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
