comparison as well as the extent to
which the advertised vehicle’s driving
range differs from other models.
Because it is highly unlikely that
advertisers can substantiate all
reasonable interpretations of these
claims, advertisers making general
driving range claims should disclose the
advertised vehicle’s EPA driving range
estimate.
sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Example 1: An advertisement for an
electric vehicle states: ‘‘This car has a great
driving range.’’ This claim likely conveys a
variety of meanings, including that the
vehicle has a better driving range than all or
almost all other electric vehicles. However,
the EPA driving range estimate for this
vehicle is only slightly better than roughly
half of all other electric vehicles on the
market. Because the advertiser cannot
substantiate that the vehicle’s driving range
is better than all or almost all other electric
vehicles, the advertisement is likely to be
deceptive. In addition, the advertiser may not
be able to substantiate other reasonable
interpretations of the claim. To address this
problem, the advertisement should disclose
the vehicle’s EPA driving range estimate (e.g.,
‘‘EPA-estimated range of 70 miles per
charge’’).
(l) Use of Non-EPA Estimates.—(1)
Disclosure Content: Given consumers’
reliance on EPA estimated fuel economy
values over the last several decades, fuel
economy and driving range estimates
derived from non-EPA tests can lead to
deception if consumers confuse such
estimates with fuel economy ratings
derived from EPA-required tests.
Accordingly, advertisers should avoid
such claims and disclose the EPA fuel
economy or driving range estimates
whenever possible. However, if an
advertisement includes a claim about a
vehicle’s fuel economy or driving range
based on a non-EPA estimate,
advertisers should disclose the EPA
estimate and disclose with substantially
more prominence than the non-EPA
estimate:
(i) That the fuel economy or driving
range information is based on a nonEPA test;
(ii) The source of the non-EPA test;
(iii) The EPA fuel economy estimates
or EPA driving range estimates for the
vehicle; and
(iv) All driving conditions or vehicle
configurations simulated by the nonEPA test that are different from those
used in the EPA test. Such conditions
and variables may include, but are not
limited to, road or dynamometer test,
average speed, range of speed, hot or
cold start, temperature, and design or
equipment differences.
(2) Disclosure format: The
Commission regards the following as
constituting ‘‘substantially more
prominence’’:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:27 Jun 03, 2016
Jkt 238001
(i) For visual disclosures on television:
If the fuel economy claims appear only
in the visual portion, the EPA figures
should appear in numbers twice as large
as those used for any other estimate, and
should remain on the screen at least as
long as any other estimate. Each EPA
figure should be broadcast against a
solid color background that contrasts
easily with the color used for the
numbers when viewed on both color
and black and white television.
(ii) For audio disclosures: For radio
and television advertisements in which
any other estimate is used only in the
audio, equal prominence should be
given to the EPA figures. The
Commission will regard the following as
constituting equal prominence: the EPA
estimated city and/or highway MPG
should be stated, either before or after
each disclosure of such other estimate,
at least as audibly as such other
estimate.
(iii) For print and Internet disclosures:
The EPA figures should appear in
clearly legible type at least twice as
large as that used for any other estimate.
The EPA figures should appear against
a solid color, and contrasting
background. They may not appear in a
footnote unless all references to fuel
economy appear in a footnote.
Example 1: An internet advertisement
states: ‘‘Independent driving experts took the
QXT car for a weekend spin and managed to
get 55 miles-per-gallon under a variety of
driving conditions.’’ It does not disclose the
actual EPA fuel economy estimates, nor does
it explain how conditions during the
‘‘weekend spin’’ differed from those under
the EPA tests. This advertisement likely
conveys that the 55 MPG figure is the same
or comparable to an EPA fuel economy
estimate for the vehicle. This claim is likely
to be deceptive because it fails to disclose
that fuel economy information is based on a
non-EPA test, the source of the non-EPA test,
the EPA fuel economy estimates for the
vehicle, and all driving conditions or vehicle
configurations simulated by the non-EPA test
that are different from those used in the EPA
test.
Example 2: An advertisement states: ‘‘The
XZY electric car has a driving range of 110
miles per charge in summer conditions
according to our expert’s test.’’ It provides no
additional information regarding this driving
range claim. This advertisement likely
conveys that this 110 driving range figure is
comparable to an EPA driving range estimate
for the vehicle. The advertisement is likely
deceptive because it does not clearly state
that the test is a non-EPA test; it does not
provide the EPA estimated driving range; and
it does not explain how conditions referred
to in the advertisement differed from those
under the EPA tests. Without this
information, consumers are likely to confuse
the claims with range estimates derived from
the official EPA test procedures.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 5,
2016, the Department requested
comments on its proposal to modify an
existing FBI system of records notice
titled, ‘‘Fingerprint Identification

this system of records from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j) and (k).
Both the notice of a modified system
of records notice and notice of proposed
rulemaking for this system of records
originally provided that comments must

the Federal Register, the Department is

Executive Summary—Purpose of the
Regulatory Action
This rulemaking is needed to
implement statutory changes under the
Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of
2014 (MPRA) affecting mergers of
multiemployer plans under title IV of
the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The
proposed rule also would reorganize

transfers between multiemployer plans.
PBGC’s legal authority for this action
is based on section 4002(b)(3) of ERISA,
which authorizes PBGC to issue
regulations to carry out the purposes of
title IV of ERISA, and section 4231 of
ERISA, which sets forth the statutory
requirements for mergers and transfers
between multiemployer plans.
Executive Summary—Major Provisions
of the Regulatory Action
Section 121 of MPRA amends the
existing rules under section 4231 of
ERISA by adding a new section 4231(e),
which clarifies PBGC’s authority to
