and recordkeeping requirements that
assist the Commission in enforcing the
Rules. The Rules also contain a petition
procedure for requesting the
establishment of generic names for
textile fibers.
Request for Comment
On February 23, 2021, the FTC sought
public comment on the information
collection requirements associated with
the Rule. 86 FR 10967. The Commission
received no germane comments.
Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR
part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is providing
this second opportunity for public
comment while seeking OMB approval
to renew the pre-existing clearance for
the Rule.
1 Due to newly available information on hourly
wage rates, the estimated annual labor costs were
adjusted downward from $280,335,935 in the 60Day FR Notice to $243,170,994 in the 30-Day FR
Notice.
