Title: Labeling Requirements for Alternative Fuels and Alternative
Fueled Vehicles (``Alternative Fuels Rule''), 16 CFR part 309.

Abstract: The Energy Policy Act of 1992 established federal
programs to encourage the development of alternative fuels and
alternative fueled vehicles (``AFVs''). Section 406(a) of the Act
directed the Commission to establish uniform labeling requirements for
alternative fuels and AFVs. 42 U.S.C. 13232(a). Such labels must
provide ``appropriate information with respect to costs and benefits
[of alternative fuels and AFVs], so as to reasonably enable the
consumer to make choices and comparisons.'' The required labels must be
``simple and, where appropriate, consolidated with other labels
providing information to the consumer.''
Pursuant to the Act, the Commission published the Alternative Fuels
Rule in 1995, and the Rule was later amended in 2013. The Rule requires
disclosure of specific information on labels posted on fuel dispensers
for non-liquid alternative fuels. To ensure the accuracy of these
disclosures, the Rule also requires that sellers maintain records
substantiating product-specific disclosures they include on these
labels. In addition, the Rule requires that distributors of non-liquid
alternative vehicle fuel provide certifications of the fuel rating in
each transfer to anyone who is not a consumer.
Request for Comment: On October 6, 2021, the Commission sought
comment on the information collection requirements associated with the
Privacy Rule. 86 FR 55607 (Oct. 6, 2021). No relevant comments were
received. Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, the FTC is
providing this second opportunity for public comment while seeking OMB
approval to renew clearance for the Rule's information collection
requirements.
Your comment--including your name and your state--will be placed on
the public record of this proceeding. Because your comment will be made

of the FTC Act 15 U.S.C. 46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR
4.10(a)(2). In particular, do not include competitively sensitive
information such as costs, sales statistics, inventories, formulas,
patterns devices, manufacturing processes, or customer names.
