1Copies of the Complaint and the Decision and

Order are available from the Commission’s Public

Reference Branch, H–130, 6th Street & Pennsylvania

Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20580.

Comment With Respect to Duration of

Consumer Protection Orders, issued July 22,

1994, published at 59 FR 45,286–92 (Sept. 1,

1994) (‘‘Sunset Policy Statement’’). In the

Petition, PPG affirmatively states that it has

not engaged in any conduct violating the

terms of the order. The Request was placed

on the public record, and the thirty-day

comment period expired on January 16, 1995.

Two public comments were received.

The Commission in its July 22, 1994,

Sunset Policy Statement said, in relevant

part, that ‘‘effective immediately, the

Commission will presume, in the context of

petitions to reopen and modify existing

orders, that the public interest requires

setting aside orders in effect for more than

twenty years.’’ 1 The Commission’s order in

Docket No. 6699 was issued on April 19,

1957, and has been in effect for more than

37 years. Consistent with the Commission’s

July 22, 1994, Sunset Policy Statement, the

presumption is that the order should be

terminated. Nothing to overcome the

presumption having been presented, the

Commission has determined to reopen the

proceeding and set aside the order in Docket

No. 6699.

Accordingly, it is ordered that this matter

be, and it hereby is, reopened;

It is further ordered that the Commission’s

order in Docket No. 6699 be, and it hereby

is, set aside, as of the effective date of this

order.

By the Commission.

Donald S. Clark,

Secretary.
