The proposed revisions do not change the estimated respondent burden. Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the addresses section of this Notice.

The information collection requirements described below will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA''). The FTC seeks public comments on its proposal to extend through April 30, 2016 the current PRA clearance for information collection requirements contained in its Alternative Fuels Rule.
