    (a) In setting forth the required fiber content of a product

2(b) of the Act, the name of the specialty fiber present may be used in 
lieu of the word ``wool,'' provided the percentage of each named

specialty fiber so used is qualified by the word ``recycled'' when the 
fiber referred to is ``recycled wool'' as defined in the Act. The 
following are examples of fiber content designation permitted under this 
rule:

    (b) Where an election is made to use the name of a specialty fiber 
in lieu of the word ``wool'' in describing such specialty fiber, such 
name shall be used at any time reference is made to the specialty fiber 
either in required or nonrequired information. The name of the specialty 
fiber or any word, coined word, symbol or depiction connoting or 
implying the presence of such specialty fiber shall not be used in 
nonrequired information on the required label or on any secondary or 
auxiliary label attached to the wool product if the name of such 
specialty fiber does not appear in the required fiber content 
disclosure.
