Jim, I believe you mean the FPLA (an Act of Congress).
FPLA = Fair Packaging and Labeling Act.

The UPLR is a model "regulation" recommended by the NCWM,
*not* an act of Congress in need of amendment.
UPLR = Uniform Packaging and Labeling Regulation.

Once again, the FPLA (an Act) needs amendment by Congress, but
the UPLR (a model created by the NCWM) aims to achieve uniformity
among the Fifty States in interpretation and application of the FPLA.
The UPLR, could, of course, be more favorable to SI, but is
presently constrained by the duality requirement of the FPLA.
The identities of the FPLA and the UPLR are distinctly different
and should not be confused. (I suspect fatigue when you write FPLR.)
