The Federal Trade Commission seeks
renewed OMB clearance for the information collection provisions
implementing the labeling provisions of the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act (“EPCA”), 42 U.S.C. 6294.
US Code:
42 USC 6291 et seq. Name of Law: The Energy Policy and
Conservation Act of 1975
US Code: 42 USC 6291 et seq. Name of Law:
Energy Policy and Conservation Act
As described in the agency's
supporting statement, the FTC has revised and reorganized its
Information Collection List to better reflect the organization and
requirements of the Rule. The Energy Labeling Rule has been amended
several times since 2004, and many new information collections were
added over that time including collections reflecting one-time
burdens. In connection with this renewal, the FTC has consolidated
and reorganized the Rule's information collections to reflect the
structure of the Rule and its information collection burden in a
clearer and more consistent manner by product category and burden
type. Staff has also provided updated estimates based on industry
data and input regarding the number of covered products and
manufacturers and the time required to comply with the Rule's
information collection requirements.
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.
