                   CHAPTER I--FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
 
PART 303_RULES AND REGULATIONS UNDER THE TEXTILE FIBER PRODUCTS 
IDENTIFICATION ACT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 303.3  Fibers present in amounts of less than 5 percent.

    (a) Except as permitted in sections 4(b)(1) and 4(b)(2) of the Act, 
as amended, no fiber present in the amount of less than 5 percent of the 
total fiber weight shall be designated by its generic name or fiber 
trademark in disclosing the constituent fibers in required information, 
but shall be designated as ``other fiber.'' When more than one of such 
fibers are present in a product, they shall be designated in the 
aggregate as ``other fibers.'' Provided, however, that nothing in this 
section shall be construed as prohibiting the disclosure of any fiber 
present in a textile fiber product which has a clearly established and 
definite functional significance when present in the amount contained in 
such product, as for example:

96 percent Acetate
4 percent Spandex.

    (b) In making such disclosure, all of the provisions of the Act and 
regulations in this part setting forth the manner and form of disclosure 
of fiber content information, including the provisions of Sec. Sec. 
303.17 and 303.41 of this part relating to the use of generic names and 
fiber trademarks, shall be applicable.
