The Federal Trade Commission seeks renewed OMB clearance for the information collection provisions implementing the labeling provisions of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (âEPCAâ), 42 U.S.C. 6294.
US Code:
42 USC 6291 et seq.
Name of Law: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975
US Code: 42 USC 6291 et seq. Name of Law: Energy Policy and Conservation Act
As described in the agency's supporting statement, the FTC has revised and reorganized its Information Collection List to better reflect the organization and requirements of the Rule. The Energy Labeling Rule has been amended several times since 2004, and many new information collections were added over that time including collections reflecting one-time burdens. In connection with this renewal, the FTC has consolidated and reorganized the Rule's information collections to reflect the structure of the Rule and its information collection burden in a clearer and more consistent manner by product category and burden type. Staff has also provided updated estimates based on industry data and input regarding the number of covered products and manufacturers and the time required to comply with the Rule's information collection requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
