The Rule requires manufacturers to disclose energy information about major household appliances to enable consumers purchasing appliances to compare energy (or water use) of competing models. The Rule's goal is to help consumers conserve energy by enabling them to compare competing products. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 requires the FTC to issue labeling and reporting rules for metal halide lamp fixtures and ballasts.

Although the substantive aspect of the final rule’s reporting modification does not affect PRA information collection, the FTC, consistent with its preamble discussion for the final rule, is revising its prior estimate of reporting burden hours. The lone commenter on the PRA questioned the FTC’s reporting burden estimate, arguing that staff should have taken into account the many product lines (“well over 100”) in the industry and not just the number of manufacturers. Accordingly, in revising its prior estimate, staff is assuming there are 110 divisions or product lines and that reporting will require six hours apiece.
