[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 180 (Monday, September 18, 1995)] [Rules and Regulations] [Page 48027] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-23038] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
