The Alternative Fuel Rule establishes uniform labeling requirements for non-liquid fuel dispensers and for new alternative fueled vehicles (AFVs). The labeling enables consumers to make informed choices and comparisons among competing non-liquid alternative vehicle fuels and AFVs. The Rule also requires affected entities to keep records to show compliance with the Rule. The primary purpose of the recordkeeping requirements is to preserve evidence of the fuel rating certification from importers, producers, and refiners through the chain of distribution and of each AFV’s estimated cruising range and emission certification standard. Without records of how the fuel rating of the non-liquid alternative fuel was represented when the transfer was made and of how the vehicle's estimated cruising range and emission certification standard were determined for AFVs, it would be impossible to ensure that the required labeling disclosures are accurate and substantiated.

The increased estimate of burden hours is due to a rise in the estimated number of AFVs on the market and in the number of affected entities, and not a function of increased burden per entity. Similarly, the increased estimate of non-labor cost burden is attributable to an increase in the number of Alternative Fueled Vehicles since FTC staff's prior PRA clearance request submission three years ago.
