FTC Seeks Comments on Hobby Protection Rules

The Federal Trade Commission asked for input on its existing rules for manufacturers and importers of imitation political items, it said in a notice. The rules were implemented as a result of the Hobby Protection Act of 1973 and were last reviewed by the FTC in 2004. The agency asks a number of questions about the rules, including whether there's a continued need for the rules and what benefits they provide. Comments are due Sept. 22.
