    The Commission is authorized and directed to prevent any person from 
violating the provisions of this subchapter in the same manner, by the 
same means, and with the same jurisdiction, powers, and duties as though 
all applicable terms and provisions of the Federal Trade Commission Act

in the same manner, by the same means, and with the same jurisdiction, 
powers, and duties as though the applicable terms and provisions of the 
Federal Trade Commission Act were incorporated into and made a part of 
this subchapter.
    The Commission is authorized and directed to make rules and 
regulations for the manner and form of disclosing information required 
by this subchapter, and for segregation of such information for 
different portions of a wool product as may be necessary to avoid 
deception or confusion, and to make such further rules and regulations 
under and in pursuance of the terms of this subchapter as may be 
necessary and proper for administration and enforcement.
    The Commission is also authorized to cause inspections, analyses, 
tests, and examinations to be made of any wool products subject to this 
subchapter; and to cooperate with any department or agency of the 
Government, with any State, Territory, or possession, or with the 
District of Columbia; or with any department, agency, or political 
subdivision thereof; or with any person.

(b) Maintenance of records by wool manufacturers

    Every manufacturer of wool products shall maintain proper records 
showing the fiber content as required by this subchapter of all wool 
products made by him, and shall preserve such records for at least three 
years.
    The neglect or refusal to maintain and so preserve such records is 
unlawful, and any such manufacturer who neglects or refuses to maintain 
and so preserve such records shall forfeit to the United States the sum 
of $100 for each day of such failure, which shall accrue to the United 
States and be recoverable in a civil action.
