Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 28 / Friday, February 12, 2021 / Rules and Regulations Waist Belts prescribed unlawful practices in connection with the sale of belts when not offered for sale as part of a garment. Among other things, the Rule prohibited the sale of belts that looked like leather, but that were made of split, ground, pulverized, or shredded leather or non-leather material, absent disclosures.7
The Guides for Shoe Content Labeling and Advertising required leather, split leather, and concealed insoles containing . . . non-leather material which are concealed from view, but which also contain other visible parts of leather, to bear a label clearly disclosing the presence of the non-leather innersole.8
The Hosiery Guides established that the term long staple cotton used to describe hosiery is understood to mean cotton fiber which is not less than 1 18
in length of staple and that the term lisle represents hosiery made of yarn composed of two or more ply of combed long staple cotton fiber. 9
A federal statute mandated that the FTC promulgate the Energy Labeling Rule.10 The FTC must implement the will of Congress, but it need not adopt a prescriptive approach while doing so.
Here, the FTC itself has chosen to specify the trim size dimensions for labels, including the precise width between 514 to 5 12 and length between 7 38 and 7 58; the number of picas for the copy set between 27
and 29; the type style Arial and setting; the weight of the paper stock on which the labels are printed not less than 58 pounds per 500 sheets or equivalent; and a suggested minimum peel adhesive capacity of 12 ounces per square inch.11 I urged the Commission take the opportunity to review these detailed labeling requirements in 2018, and again in 2019, when the Commission sought comment and revised other sections of this Rule.12

The Commission last conducted a full review of the Energy Labeling Rule in 2015; under our 10-year regulatory schedule, the next review is scheduled for 2025. However, since 2015, the Commission has sought comment on provisions of this Rule at least three times, including the current proceeding, and has made numerous amendments.13
This piecemeal approach has clarified the Rules requirementsand I
appreciate FTC staffs efforts to keep this Rule clear and currentbut the Commission can and should do more.
Specifically, the Commission should conduct a full review of the Rule to consider removing all dated and prescriptive provisions, and to consider the recent comments suggesting changes. Nothing prevents the Commission from conducting this review nowwe do not have to wait until the 10-year anniversary. I urge the Commission to act on these comments, eliminate the more prescriptive aspects of the Rule, and maximize the positive impact of this Rule for consumers. If we are statutorily mandated to maintain this Rule, we should endeavor to make it beneficial for consumers and competition.
