SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: The Used Car Rule, 16 CFR part 455.

collection.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Businesses and other for-profit

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 3,166,352.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The annual burden hours and annual labor costs are slightly
higher than the estimates set out in the 60-Day Federal Register
notice, which were 3,164,100 hours and $69,167,226, respectively.
This is because updates to U.S. Census Bureau surveys now indicate
that approximately 13.6 percent of the U.S. population speaks
Spanish at home, and 8.6 percent of the population speak English
less than very well, as opposed to 13.4 percent and 8.4 percent
noted as of September 30, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Annual Labor Costs: $69,216,455.
Non-Labor Costs: $19,300,000.
Abstract
The Used Car Rule promotes informed purchasing decisions by
requiring that used car dealers display a form called a ``Buyers
Guide'' on each used car offered for sale that, among other things,
discloses information about warranty coverage and other information to
assist purchasers. The Rule has no recordkeeping or reporting
requirements.
On December 5, 2025, the FTC sought comment on the information
collection requirements associated with the Rule. 90 FR 56147. The
Commission received three comments that support the renewal of the
information collections.\2\ Pursuant to OMB regulations, 5 CFR part
1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is
providing this second opportunity for public comment while seeking OMB
approval to renew the pre-existing clearance for the Rule. For more
details about the Rule requirements and the basis for the calculations
summarized above, see 90 FR 56147.
