Abstract

The Federal Trade Commission (the ``Commission'' or ``FTC'') announces it is retaining its Trade Regulation Rule Concerning the Labeling and Advertising of Home Insulation (``R-value Rule'' or ``Rule'') and adopting non-substantive amendments to the Rule. The Commission amends section 460.5(a) of the R-value Rule to allow use of the R-value test procedure in American Society of Testing and Materials (``ASTM'') standard test method C 1114-95. The Commission also amends sections 460.5(a), 460.5(a)(2), 460.5(b), and 460.5(d)(1) to specify revised versions of additional ASTM standards that are required for determining the R-value of home insulation. Further, the Commission amends the Rule to add a summary of the exemptions from specific requirements of the Rule that the Commission previously granted for certain classes of persons covered by the Rule. Last, the Commission adopts a non-substantive amendment to revise section 460.10 to cross- reference the Commission's enforcement policy statement for foreign language advertising in 16 CFR 14.9 and to delete the current Appendix to the Rule, which merely repeats the text of 16 CFR 14.9.
