Sec. 300.4  Registered identification numbers.

    (a) A registered identification number assigned by the Federal Trade 
Commission under and in accordance with the provisions of this section

required under the Act to be affixed to a wool product, as and for the 
name of the person to whom such number has been assigned.

    (b) Any manufacturer of a wool product or person subject to section 
3 of the Act with respect to such wool product, residing in the United 
States, may apply to the Federal Trade Commission for a registered 
identification number for use by the applicant on the stamp, tag, label, 
or other mark of identification required under the Act.
    (c) Registered identification numbers shall be used only by the 
person or firm to whom they are issued, and such numbers are not 
transferable or assignable. Registered identification numbers shall be 
subject to cancellation whenever any such number was procured or has 
been used improperly or contrary to the requirements of the Acts 
administered by the Federal Trade Commission, and regulations in this 
part, or when otherwise deemed necessary in the public interest. 
Registered identification numbers shall be subject to cancellation if 
the Commission fails to receive prompt notification of any change in 
name, business address, or legal business status of a person or firm to 
whom a registered identification number has been assigned, by 
application duly executed in the form set out in paragraph (e) of this 
section, reflecting the current name, business address, and legal 
business status of the person or firm.
    (d) Registered identification numbers assigned under this section 
may be used on labels required in labeling products subject to the 
provisions of the Fur Products Labeling Act and Textile Fiber Products 
Identification Act, and numbers previously assigned by the Commission 
under such Acts may be used as and for the required name in labeling 
under this Act. When so used by the person or firm to whom assigned, the 
use of the numbers shall be construed as identifying and binding the 
applicant as fully and in all respects as though assigned under the 
specific Act for which it is used.
    (e) The form to apply for a registered identification number or to 
update information pertaining to an existing number is found in Sec. 
303.20(d) of this chapter. The form is available upon request from the 
Textile Section, Enforcement Division, Federal Trade Commission, 600
