The FTC must publish an official register of animal names, called the Fur Products Name Guide, using each animal's true English name. The FTC can add or remove names later, and can require extra wording on a name if it wrongly suggests where the animal is from.

(a) Fur Products Name Guide: Working with the Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior, the Commission must — within six months after August 8, 1951, and after holding public hearings — issue a register of hair, fleece, and fur-bearing animal names, called the Fur Products Name Guide. The names used must be each animal's true English name, or, if there isn't one, the name that properly identifies the animal in the United States. (b) Additions and deletions: The Commission can, from time to time, working with the same two departments and after public hearings, add animal names to the register or delete them. (c) Prevention of confusion or deception: If an animal's name in the Name Guide suggests a geographic origin different from where the animal actually comes from, the Commission can require qualifying statements whenever that name is used in required disclosures, to prevent confusion or deception.

(a) Fur Products Name Guide

The Commission shall, with the assistance and cooperation of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior, within six months after August 8, 1951, issue, after holding public hearings, a register setting forth the names of hair, fleece, and fur-bearing animals, which shall be known as the Fur Products Name Guide. The names used shall be the true English names for the animals in question, or in the absence of a true English name for an animal, the name by which such animal can be properly identified in the United States.

(b) Additions and deletions; public hearing

The Commission may, from time to time, with the assistance and cooperation of the Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior, after holding public hearings, add to or delete from such register the name of any hair, fleece, or fur-bearing animal.

If the name of an animal (as set forth in the Fur Products Name Guide) connotes a geographical origin or significance other than the true country or place of origin of such animal, the Commission may require whenever such name is used in setting forth the information required by this subchapter, such qualifying statements as it may deem necessary to prevent confusion or deception.
