SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Pre-Sale Availability of Written
Warranty Terms (Pre-Sale Availability
Rule or Rule), 16 CFR 702.
OMB Control Number: 3084–0112.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Pre-Sale Availability
Rule is one of three rules 1 that the FTC
implemented pursuant to requirements
of the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, 15
U.S.C. 2301 et seq. (Warranty Act or
Act).2 The Pre-Sale Availability Rule
requires sellers and warrantors to make
the text of any written warranty on a
consumer product costing more than
$15 available to the consumer before
sale. Among other things, the Rule
requires sellers to make the text of the
warranty readily available either by (1)
displaying it in close proximity to the
product or (2) furnishing it on request
and posting signs in prominent
locations advising consumers that the
warranty is available. The Rule requires
warrantors to provide materials to
enable sellers to comply with the Rule’s
requirements and also sets out the
methods by which warranty information
can be made available before the sale if
the product is sold through catalogs,
online sales, mail order, or door to door.
On November 14, 2013, the
Commission sought comment on the
Rule’s information collection
requirements.3 The Commission did not
receive any comments.
As required by OMB regulations, 5
CFR 1320, the FTC is providing this
second opportunity for public comment.
Likely Respondents: Manufacturers
and retailers of consumer products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
Section 301 of Public Law 101–445 (7
U.S.C. 5341, the National Nutrition
Monitoring and Related Research Act of
1990, Title III) the Secretaries of Health
and Human Services (HHS) and
Agriculture (USDA) are directed to issue
at least every five years a report titled
Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The
law instructs that this publication shall
contain nutritional and dietary
information and guidelines for the
general public, shall be based on the
preponderance of scientific and medical
knowledge current at the time of
publication, and shall be promoted by
each federal agency in carrying out any
federal food, nutrition, or health
program. The Dietary Guidelines for
Americans was issued voluntarily by
HHS and USDA in 1980, 1985, and
1990; the 1995 edition was the first
statutorily mandated report, followed by
subsequent editions at appropriate
intervals. To assist with satisfying the
mandate, a discretionary federal
advisory committee is established every
five years to provide independent,
science-based advice and
recommendations. The DGAC consists
of a panel of experts who were selected
from the public/private sector.
Individuals who were selected to serve
on the Committee have current
scientific knowledge in the field of
human nutrition and chronic disease.
Appointed Committee Members: The
Secretaries of HHS and USDA
appointed 15 individuals to serve as
members of the 2015 DGAC in May
2013. The Committee currently has 14
members; it became necessary for one of
the appointed members to resign from
his position on the 2015 DGAC.
Information on the DGAC membership
is available at
www.DietaryGuidelines.gov.
Authority: The 2015 DGAC is authorized
under 42 U.S.C. 217a, Section 222 of the
Public Health Service Act, as amended.
Committee’s Task: The work of the
DGAC is solely advisory in nature and
time-limited. The Committee is tasked
with developing recommendations
based on the preponderance of current
scientific and medical knowledge using
a systematic review approach. The
DGAC will examine the current Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, take into
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
8187
consideration new scientific evidence
and current resource documents, and
develop a report that is to be given to
the Secretaries of HHS and USDA. The
report will outline science-based
recommendations and rationales which
will serve as the basis for developing the
eighth edition of the Dietary Guidelines
for Americans. It is planned for the
Committee to hold approximately five
public meetings to review and discuss
recommendations. This will be the third
meeting of the 2015 DGAC. Additional
meeting dates, times, locations, and
other relevant information will be
announced at least 15 days in advance
of each meeting via Federal Register
notice. As stipulated in the charter, the
Committee will be terminated after
delivery of its final report to the
Secretaries of HHS and USDA or two
years from the date the charter was
filed, whichever comes first.
Purpose of the Meeting: In accordance
with FACA and to promote
transparency of the process,
deliberations of the Committee will
occur in a public forum. At this
meeting, the Committee will continue
its deliberations.
Meeting Agenda: The meeting agenda
may include (a) topic-specific
presentations from guest experts
identified by the Committee, and will
include (b) review of Committee work
since the last public meeting, and (c)
plans for future Committee work.
Meeting Registration: The meeting is
open to the public. The meeting will be
accessible by webcast only. Registration
is required for web viewing and is
expected to open on February 4, 2014.

Request for Comment: You can file a comment online or on paper. For
the Commission to consider your comment, we must receive it on or
before March 13, 2014. Write ``Pre-Sale Availability Rule: Paperwork
Comment, FTC File No. P044403'' on your comment. Your comment--
including your name and your state--will be placed on the public record
of this proceeding, including, to the extent practicable, on the public
Commission Web site, at https://www.ftc.gov/os/publiccomments.shtm. As a
matter of discretion, the Commission tries to remove individuals' home
contact information from comments before placing them on the Commission
Web site.
Because your comment will be made public, you are solely
responsible for making sure that your comment does not include any
sensitive personal information, such as anyone's Social Security
number, date of birth, driver's license number or other state
identification number or foreign country equivalent, passport number,
financial account number, or credit or debit card number. You are also
solely responsible for making sure that your comment does not include
any sensitive health information, like medical records or other
individually identifiable health information. In addition, do not
include any ``[t]rade secret or any commercial or financial information
which is . . . privileged or confidential,'' as discussed in Section
6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR
4.10(a)(2). In particular, do not include competitively sensitive
information such as costs, sales statistics, inventories, formulas,
patterns, devices, manufacturing processes, or customer names.
If you want the Commission to give your comment confidential
treatment, you must file it in paper form, with a request for
confidential treatment, and you are required to follow the procedure
explained in FTC Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c). Your comment will be kept
confidential only if the FTC General Counsel grants your request in
accordance with the law and the public interest.
Postal mail addressed to the Commission is subject to delay due to
heightened security screening. As a result, we encourage you to submit
your comment online, or to send it to the Commission by courier or
overnight service. To make sure that the Commission considers your
online comment, you must file it at https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ftc/presaleavailabilitypra2, by following the instructions on the web-
based form. If this Notice appears at https://www.regulations.gov, you
also may file a comment through that Web site.
If you file your comment on paper, write ``Pre-Sale Availability
Rule: Paperwork Comment, FTC File No. P044403'' on your comment and on
the envelope, and mail or deliver it to the following address: Federal
Trade Commission, Office of the Secretary, Room H-113 (Annex J), 600
Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20580. If possible, submit your
paper comment to the Commission by courier or overnight service.
The FTC Act and other laws that the Commission administers permit
the collection of public comments to consider and use in this
proceeding as appropriate. The Commission will consider all timely and
responsive public comments that it receives on or before March 13,
2014. You can find more information, including routine uses permitted
by the Privacy Act, in the Commission's privacy policy, at https://www.ftc.gov/ftc/privacy.shtm.
Comments on the information collection requirements subject to
review under the PRA should also be submitted to OMB. If sent by U.S.
mail, address comments to: Office of Information and Regulatory
