Cutting Redundancy
Short Statement:
The FTC has identified EPA fuel labeling requirements that duplicate existing requirements. Thus, the FTC is proposing to consolidate its requirements with those of EPA. The FTC believes that the proposed rule would eliminate the Rule's PRA burden for disclosure and reporting aspects for manufacturers of alternative fueled vehicles. Thus, the burden reduction submitted for approval totals the previously assigned estimates of 37,389 hours and $426,038 in estimated label costs regarding those manufacturers.
