Sec. 303.39  Maintenance of records.

    (a) Pursuant to the provisions of section 6 of the Act, every 
manufacturer of a textile fiber product subject to the Act, irrespective 
of whether any guaranty has been given or received, shall maintain 
records showing the information required by the Act and Regulations with 
respect to all such textile fiber products made by such manufacturer. 
Such records shall show:
    (1) The generic names and percentages by weight of the constituent 
fibers present in the textile fiber product, exclusive of permissive 
ornamentation, in amounts of five per centum or more.
    (2) The name, provided for in Sec. 303.19, or registered 
identification number issued by the Commission, of the manufacturer or 
of one or more persons marketing or handling the textile fiber product.
    (3) The name of the country where such product was processed or 
manufactured as provided for in Sec. 303.33.

The purpose of the records is to permit a determination that the 
requirements of the Act and Regulations have been met and to establish a 
traceable line of continuity from raw material through processing to 
finished product.
    (b) Any person substituting a stamp, tag, label, or other 
identification pursuant to section 5(b) of the Act shall keep such 
records as will show the information set forth on the stamp, tag, label, 
or other identification that he removed and the name or names of the 
person or persons from whom such textile fiber product was received.
    (c) The records required to be maintained pursuant to the provisions 
of this rule shall be preserved for at least three years.
