AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of extension of comment

SUMMARY: On July 6, 2005, the Federal 

Trade Commission (‘‘FTC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) requested public 

comments on whether the platinum 

section of the FTC’s Guides for the 

Jewelry, Precious Metals, and Pewter 

Industries (‘‘Jewelry Guides’’), 16 CFR 

23, should be amended. The 

Commission solicited comments until 

September 28, 2005. In response to a 

request from the Appraisal Information 

NetWork (‘‘AI NetWork’’), the 

Commission grants an extension of the 

comment period until October 12, 2005. 

DATES: Written comments will be 

accepted until October 12, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are 

invited to submit written comments. 

Comments should refer to ‘‘Jewelry 

Guides, Matter No. G711001’’ to 

facilitate the organization of comments. 

A comment filed in paper form should 

include this reference both in the text 

and on the envelope, and should be 

mailed or delivered to the following 

address: Federal Trade Commission/ 

Office of the Secretary, Room 135 

(Annex Y), 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, 

NW., Washington, DC 20580. Comments

filed in paper form, must be clearly 

labeled ‘‘Confidential,’’ and must

16 CFR 4.9(c) (2004).1

Comments filed in electronic form 

should be submitted by clicking on the 

following: http:// 

secure.commentworks.com/ftc-jewelry 

and following the instructions on the 

web-based form. To ensure that the 

Commission considers an electronic

You also may visit http://

Commission will consider all comments

The FTC Act and other laws the

public comments, whether filed in 

paper or electronic form, will be 

considered by the Commission, and will 

be available to the public on the FTC 

website, to the extent practicable, at 

http://www.ftc.gov. As a matter of 

discretion, the FTC makes every effort to 

remove home contact information for 

individuals from the public comments it 

receives before placing those comments 

on the FTC website. More information, 

including routine uses permitted by the 

Privacy Act, may be found in the FTC’s 

privacy policy, at http://www.ftc.gov/

Blickman, Attorney, Division of

Protection, Federal Trade Commission,

Washington, DC 20580, (202) 326–3038. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 6, 

2005, the Commission published in the 

Federal Register a request for public 

comments on whether to amend the 

platinum section of the Jewelry Guides, 

16 CFR Part 23 (70 FR 38834). 

Specifically, the Federal Register notice 

solicited public comments on whether 

the platinum section of the 

Commission’s Jewelry Guides should be 

amended to provide guidance on how to 

mark or non-deceptively describe 

products containing between 500 and 

850 parts per thousand pure platinum 

and no other platinum group metals. 

On September 15, 2005, the 

Commission staff received a request for 

an extension of the comment period 

from the AI NetWork.2 The AI NetWork 

maintains that many industry members, 

including many small businesses, have 

received inadequate notice of the 

Commission’s request for comment 

because the earliest that trade 

publications could have included 

information about the Commission’s 

proceeding was in their September 

issues, and because of the adverse 

effects of Hurricane Katrina. 

The Commission is aware that the 

issues raised by the Federal Register 

notice are complex and technical. 

Accordingly, to provide additional time 

for interested parties to prepare 

comments, the Commission has decided 

to extend the deadline for comments 

until October 12, 2005. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.

II. Introduction 

Given that our accident investigations 

do not routinely include an inquiry into 

the use of alcohol or other drugs as a 

contributing factor, there may be many 

instances in which alcohol or other 

drugs were involved in accidents and 

are not reported to us or that we do not 

uncover during investigations. Our 

preliminary review of our fatal and nonfatal mine accident records revealed a 

number of instances in which alcohol or 

other drugs or drug paraphernalia were 

found or reported, or in which the postaccident toxicology screen revealed the 

presence of alcohol or other drugs.
