## Abstract

The Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') announces amendments to Rule 7 of the Rules and Regulations Under the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (``Textile Rules''), to designate two new generic fiber names and establish two new generic fiber definitions for fibers manufactured by BASF Corporation (``BASF'') of Mt. Olive, New Jersey, and DuPont Advanced Fiber Systems (``DuPont'') of Wilmington, Delaware. The amendments create a new subsection (w) to Rule 7 that establishes the name ``melamine'' for a fiber for which BASF has registered the trade name ``Basofil''; and a new subsection (x) to Rule 7 that establishes the name ``fluoropolymer'' for a fiber that DuPont designates by the registered name ``Teflon.''
