Federal Trade Commission March 16, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The FTC proposes to amend its Rule for Automotive Fuel Ratings, Certification and Posting (``Fuel Rating Rule'' or ``Rule'') by adopting rating, certification, and labeling requirements for certain ethanol fuels, revising the labeling requirements for fuels with at least 70 percent ethanol, allowing the use of an alternative octane rating method, and making certain other miscellaneous Rule revisions, based on comments received as part of its periodic regulatory review of the Rule. The proposed amendments are intended to further the Rule's goal of helping purchasers identify the correct fuel for their vehicles.
