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
Federal Trade Commission is proposing amendments to this Rule to
require EnergyGuide labels on televisions to help consumers with
their purchasing decisions.
