ACTION:
Final rule.
The Federal Trade
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) amends
its Energy Labeling Rule (‘‘Rule’’) by
publishing new ranges of comparability
for required EnergyGuide labels on
televisions.
DATES: Effective July 15, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Hampton Newsome, Attorney, Division
of Enforcement, Federal Trade
Commission, Washington, DC 20580
(202–326–2889).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The Commission issued the Energy
Labeling Rule in 1979, 44 FR 66466
(Nov. 19, 1979) pursuant to the Energy
Policy and Conservation Act of 1975
(‘‘EPCA’’).1 The Rule covers several
categories of major household products,
including televisions. It requires
manufacturers of covered products to
disclose specific energy consumption or
efficiency information (derived from
Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) test
procedures) at the point-of-sale. In
addition, each label must include a
‘‘range of comparability’’ indicating the
highest and lowest energy consumption
or efficiencies for comparable models.
The Commission updates these ranges
periodically.
II. Range Updates for Televisions
The Commission amends its
television ranges in section 305.17(f)(5)
based on manufacturer data derived
from the DOE test procedures and
posted on the DOE Web site (https://
www.regulations.doe.gov/ccms). Last
year, the Commission issued changes to
the television labeling requirements,
including new reporting and testing
provisions, to conform the FTC Rule to
a new DOE test procedure (79 FR 19464
(April 9, 2014)). In that Notice, the
Commission also discussed the
possibility that it would revise the
Rule’s comparability ranges following
the submission by manufacturers of new
model data derived from the DOE test
procedure.2 The Commission now
updates those ranges, along with related
sample labels. In addition, these
amendments update the cost figure on
the television label to 12 cents per kWh
consistent with other labeled products.3
1 42 U.S.C. 6294. EPCA also requires the
Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) to set minimum
efficiency standards and develop test procedures to
measure energy use.
2 The Commission also discussed the potential for
new ranges in a notice published last summer (79
FR 34642, 34656 n.108 (June 18, 2014)).
3 These amendments also make a minor,
conforming change to the range categories in
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
16259
Manufacturers have until July 15, 2015
to begin using the ranges on their labels.
III. Administrative Procedure Act
The amendments published in this
Notice are purely ministerial in nature
and implement the Rule’s requirement
that representations for televisions be
derived from DOE test procedures. See
16 CFR 305.5(d). Accordingly, the
Commission has good cause under
section 553(b)(B) of the APA to forgo
notice-and comment procedures for
these rule amendments. 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B). These technical amendments
merely provide a routine, conforming
change to the range and cost
information required on EnergyGuide
labels. The Commission therefore finds
for good cause that public comment for
these technical, procedural amendments
is impractical and unnecessary.
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The provisions of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act relating to a Regulatory
Flexibility Act analysis (5 U.S.C. 603–
604) are not applicable to this
proceeding because the amendments do
not impose any new obligations on
entities regulated by the Energy
Labeling Rule. These technical
amendments merely provide a routine
change to the range information
required on EnergyGuide labels. Thus,
the amendments will not have a
‘‘significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.’’ 4
The Commission has concluded,
therefore, that a regulatory flexibility
analysis is not necessary, and certifies,
under Section 605 of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), that the
amendments announced today will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
The current Rule contains
recordkeeping, disclosure, testing, and
reporting requirements that constitute
information collection requirements as
defined by 5 CFR 1320.3(c), the
definitional provision within the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
regulations that implement the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). OMB
has approved the Rule’s existing
information collection requirements
through May 31, 2017 (OMB Control No.
3084 0069). The amendments now being
adopted do not change the substance or
frequency of the recordkeeping,
§ 305.17 to reflect the scope of the DOE test
procedure, which does not cover models with
screen sizes smaller than 16 inches. See 79 FR at
19465 (Commission’s discussion of this DOE
change).

rulemaking process. These devices
remain in class III and require
premarket approval, unless and until
the device is classified or reclassified
into class I or II, or FDA issues an order
finding the device to be substantially
equivalent, in accordance with section
513(i) of the FD&C Act, to a predicate
device that does not require premarket
approval. The Agency determines
whether new devices are substantially
equivalent to predicate devices by
means of premarket notification
procedures in section 510(k) of the
FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360(k)) and part
807 (21 CFR part 807) of the regulations.
Section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act, as
amended by section 607 of the Food and
Drug Administration Safety and
Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–144),
provides two procedures by which a
person may request FDA to classify a
device under the criteria set forth in
section 513(a)(1). Under the first
procedure, the person submits a
premarket notification under section
510(k) of the FD&C Act for a device that
has not previously been classified and,
within 30 days of receiving an order
classifying the device into class III
under section 513(f)(1) of the FD&C Act,

The current Rule contains recordkeeping, disclosure, testing, and
reporting requirements that constitute information collection
requirements as defined by 5 CFR 1320.3(c), the definitional provision
within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations that
implement the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). OMB has approved the
Rule's existing information collection requirements through May 31,
2017 (OMB Control No. 3084 0069). The amendments now being adopted do
not change the substance or frequency of the recordkeeping,
[[Page 16260]]
disclosure, or reporting requirements and, therefore, do not require
further OMB clearance.
