FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
16 CFR Parts 24, 231, and 247
Guides for the Luggage and Related Products Industry, Guides for
Shoe Content Labeling and Advertising, and Guides for the Ladies'
Handbag Industry
AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.
ACTION: Final Rule; Rescission of Guides.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (the ``Commission''), as part of
its periodic review of its rules and guides, announces that it has
concluded a review of its Guides for the Luggage and Related Products
Industry (``Luggage Guides''); Guides for Shoe Content Labeling and
Advertising (``Shoe Content Guides''); and Guides for the Ladies'
Handbag Industry (``Handbag Guides''). The Commission has decided to
rescind these three Guides. In a document published elsewhere in this
issue of the Federal Register, the Commission seeks public comment on
proposed Guides for Select Leather and Imitation Leather Products. The
Commission is taking this action to clarify and streamline the Guides.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 18, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan E. Arthur, Attorney, (214) 767-
5503, Federal Trade Commission, Dallas Regional Office, 100 N. Central
Expressway, Suite 500, Dallas, Texas 75201.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to the Commission's request for
public comment on the Luagge Guides, the Shoe Content Guides, and the
Ladies' Handbag Guides, the Commission received 12 comments. The
comments received are discussed in the Commission's request for public
comment concerning its proposed Guides for Select Leather and Imitation
Leather Products. That request is located elsewhere in this issue of
the Federal Register.
A review of the comments and of the three Guides indicates that
consolidation of their basic principles into one set of Guides is
clearly warranted. Therefore, on the basis of the discussion in this
rule--and the discussion in the Commission's request for public comment
concerning its proposed Guides for Select Leather and Imitation Leather
Products, which is located elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register, and which is incorporated herein--16 CFR Parts 24, 231, and
247 are hereby rescinded.
