Abstract

On December 6, 1995, the Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') initiated a notice-and-comment rulemaking proceeding by publishing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register to solicit comment on whether Rule 7(d) of the Rules and Regulations Under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act should be amended to allow use of the name ``lyocell'' as an alternative to the generic name ``rayon'' for a specific subclass of rayon fibers defined in the proposed amendment. The Commission has analyzed the record developed during that proceeding and has concluded that the lyocell subclass has sufficiently different characteristics from other rayons to justify use of the term ``lyocell'' as an alternative to the generic name ``rayon'' for that subclass. The Commission announces, therefore, that Textile Rule 7(d) will be amended. The amendment will allow the use of the term ``lyocell'' as a generic name on disclosures required by the Textile Act for fibers that meet the definition of lyocell in the amendment. This Notice summarizes the comments received in response to the December 6, 1995, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and sets out the Commission's final action in this matter.
