On January 9, 2015, the Commission sought comment on the
information collection requirements in the Care Labeling Rule. 80 FR
1411. No comments were received. As required by OMB regulations, 5 CFR
part 1320, the FTC is providing this second opportunity for public
comment.
Estimated annual hours burden: 34,742,227 hours (solely relating to
disclosure \3\) (derived from 2,264,200 hours to determine care
instructions + 1,811,360 hours to draft and order labels + 30,666,667
hours to attach labels).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The Care Labeling Rule imposes no specific recordkeeping
requirements. Although the Rule requires manufacturers and importers
to have reliable evidence to support the recommended care
instructions, companies in some circumstances can rely on current
technical literature or past experience.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Likely Respondents: Manufacturers or importers of textile apparel.
Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure.
Estimated Annual Cost Burden: $258,329,000, rounded to the nearest
thousand (solely relating to labor costs).
Request for Comments
You can file a comment online or on paper. For the Commission to
consider your comment, we must receive it on or before April 20, 2015.
Write ``Apparel Rules: FTC File No. P074201'' on your comment. Your
comment--including your name and your state--will be placed on the
public record of this proceeding, including, to the extent practicable,
on the public Commission Web site, at https://www.ftc.gov/os/publiccomments.shtm. As a matter of discretion, the Commission tries to
remove individuals' home contact information from comments before
placing them on the Commission Web site.
Because your comment will be made public, you are solely
responsible for making sure that your comment does not include any
sensitive personal information, such as anyone's Social Security
number, date of birth, driver's license number or other state
identification number or foreign country equivalent, passport number,
financial account number, or credit or debit card number. You are also
solely responsible for making sure that your comment does not include
any sensitive health information, like medical records or other
individually identifiable health information. In addition, do not
include any ``[t]rade secret or any commercial or financial information
which is . . . privileged or confidential,'' as discussed in Section
6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR
4.10(a)(2). In particular, do not include competitively sensitive
information such as costs, sales statistics, inventories, formulas,
patterns, devices,
[[Page 14389]]
manufacturing processes, or customer names.
If you want the Commission to give your comment confidential
treatment, you must file it in paper form, with a request for
confidential treatment, and you are required to follow the procedure
explained in FTC Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c). Your comment will be kept
confidential only if the FTC General Counsel grants your request in
accordance with the law and the public interest.
Postal mail addressed to the Commission is subject to delay due to
heightened security screening. As a result, we encourage you to submit
your comment online, or to send it to the Commission by courier or
overnight service. To make sure that the Commission considers your
online comment, you must file it at https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ftc/apparelrulespra2, by following the instructions on the web-based
form. If this Notice appears at https://www.regulations.gov, you also
may file a comment through that Web site.
If you file your comment on paper, write ``Apparel Rules: FTC File
No. P074201'' on your comment and on the envelope, and mail or deliver
it to the following address: Federal Trade Commission, Office of the
Secretary, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Suite CC-5610 (Annex J),
Washington, DC 20580, or deliver your comment to the following address:
Federal Trade Commission, Office of the Secretary, Constitution Center,
400 7th Street SW., 5th Floor, Suite 5610 (Annex J), Washington, DC
20024. If possible, submit your paper comment to the Commission by
courier or overnight service.
The FTC Act and other laws that the Commission administers permit
the collection of public comments to consider and use in this
proceeding as appropriate. The Commission will consider all timely and
responsive public comments that it receives on or before April 20,
2015. You can find more information, including routine uses permitted
by the Privacy Act, in the Commission's privacy policy, at https://www.ftc.gov/ftc/privacy.shtm.
Comments on the information collection requirements subject to
review under the PRA should also be submitted to OMB. If sent by U.S.
mail, address comments to: Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for
the Federal Trade Commission, New Executive Office Building, Docket
Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503.
Comments sent to OMB by U.S. postal mail, however, are subject to
delays due to heightened security precautions. Thus, comments instead
should be sent by facsimile to (202) 395-5167.
