As part of its regulatory review of
the Energy Labeling Rule, the Federal Trade Commission is issuing
final amendments to, among other things, expand coverage of the
Lighting Facts label. [A separate information collection request
("ICR") will be submitted to OMB regarding proposed Commission
amendments to create requirements related to a new label database
on the Department of Energy’s website, redesign ceiling fan labels,
improve and update the comparability ranges for refrigerator
labels, revise central air conditioner labels in response to new
DOE enforcement requirements, improve water heater labels, and
update current plumbing disclosures.]
US Code:
42 USC 6291 et seq. Name of Law: The Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975

Energy Policy and Conservation Act
The amendments will result in
an estimated additional 52,883 hours burden hours, annualized, and
$1,535,000 in capital/non-labor costs. Estimated labor costs, as
detailed in the Supplemental Supporting Statement incorporated in
this ICR, cumulative of all affected entities, is $2,191,368.
"Changes due to adjustment" to agency estimates previously approved
relate to what, instead, will be applied to the forthcoming ICR for
the above-noted proposed amendments. Those estimates originated
with the FTC's June 18, 2014 Supplemental Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking submitted to OMB (ICR 201406-3084-001). The Commission
is inviting further public comment on some of those proposals, as
further revised via the proposed amendment rulemaking that will be
submitted to OMB immediately after the instant ICR.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
