FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

16 CFR Part 305

RIN 3084-AB15


Energy Labeling Rule

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of public comment 
period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (``FTC'' or ``Commission'') is 
extending the deadline for filing comments on its advance notice of 
proposed rulemaking (``ANPR'') regarding the Energy Labeling Rule.

DATES: For the ANPR published October 25, 2022 (87 FR 64399), the 
comment deadline is extended from December 27, 2022, to January 31, 
2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hampton Newsome (202-326-2889), 
Attorney, Division of Enforcement, Bureau of Consumer Protection, 
Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 
20580.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 17, 2022, the Commission 
announced that it would seek public comments on whether to make changes 
to the Energy Labeling Rule (the ``Rule''). The Commission subsequently 
published the ANPR to seek public comments on potential amendments to 
the Rule, including repair-related requirements, energy labels for 
several new consumer product categories, and other possible amendments 
to improve the Rule's effectiveness, and reduce unnecessary burdens. 
Interested parties have requested an extension of the public comment 
period until January 31, 2023, to account for the breadth of questions, 
the complexity of the issues, and the holidays.
    The Commission agrees that allowing additional time for filing 
comments in response to the ANPR would help facilitate the creation of 
a more complete record. The Commission has therefore decided to extend 
the comment period to January 31, 2023. This extension will provide 
commenters adequate time to address the issues raised in the ANPR.

    By direction of the Commission.
Joel Christie,
Acting Secretary.
