Sec. 1.6  How promulgated.

    Industry guides \1\ are promulgated by the Commission on its own 
initiative or pursuant to petition filed with the Secretary or upon 
informal application therefor, by any interested person or group, when 
it appears to the Commission that guidance as to the legal requirements 
applicable to particular practices would be beneficial in the public 
interest and would serve to bring about more widespread and equitable 
observance of laws administered by the Commission. In connection with 
the promulgation of industry guides, the Commission at any time may 
conduct such investigations, make such studies, and hold such 
conferences or hearings as it may deem appropriate. All or any part of 
any such investigation, study, conference, or hearing may be conducted 
under the provisions of subpart A of part 2 of this chapter.
