The Textile Fiber Products Identification Act prohibits the misbranding and false advertising of textile fiber products. The Textile Rules establish disclosure requirements that assist consumers in making informed purchasing decisions, 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.
US Code:
15 USC 70 et seq.

FTC staff has adjusted upward its annual burden estimates. This increase is mostly attributable to revised upward estimates of compliance time from the industry association, the American Apparel & Footwear Association. This association also helped with the most recent estimates from three years ago. One small factor in the upward adjustment was an estimated increase in the production of textile fiber products.
