Sec. 1.25  Initiation of proceedings--petitions.

    Proceedings for the issuance of rules or regulations, including 
proceedings for exemption of products or classes of products from 
statutory requirements, may be commenced by the Commission upon its own 
initiative or pursuant to petition filed with the Secretary by any 
interested person or group stating reasonable grounds therefor. Anyone 
whose petition is not deemed by the Commission sufficient to warrant the 
holding of a rulemaking proceeding will be promptly notified of that 
determination and given an opportunity to submit additional data. 
Procedures for the amendment or repeal of a rule or regulation are the 
same as for the issuance thereof.
