        have resulted with the automobile as originally equipped,
as determined under regulations of the Administrator of the 
Environmental Protection Agency. The term also includes a fuel additive 
for use in an automobile.
  ``(b) Examination of Fuel Economy Representations.--The Federal Trade 
Commission shall establish a program for systematically examining fuel 
economy representations made with respect to retrofit devices. Whenever 
the Commission has reason to believe that any representation may be 
inaccurate, the Commission shall request the Administrator to evaluate, 
in accordance with subsection (c) of this section, the retrofit device 
with respect to which the representation was made.
  ``(c) Evaluation of Retrofit Devices.--(1) On application of any 
manufacturer of a retrofit device (or prototype of a retrofit device), 
on request of the Commission under subsection (b) of this section, or 
on the motion of the Administrator, the Administrator shall evaluate, 
in accordance with regulations prescribed under subsection (e) of this 
section, any retrofit device to determine whether the retrofit device 
increases fuel economy and to determine whether the representations, if 
any, made with respect to the retrofit device are accurate.

tests, or causes to be tested, any retrofit device on the application 
of a manufacturer of the device, the manufacturer shall supply, at the 
manufacturer's expense, one or more samples of the device to the 
Administrator and shall be liable for the costs of testing incurred by 
the Administrator. The procedures for testing retrofit devices so 
supplied may include a requirement for preliminary testing by a 
qualified independent testing laboratory, at the expense of the 
manufacturer of the device.

Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register a summary of the 
results of all tests conducted under this section, together with the 
Administrator's conclusions as to--
          ``(A) the effect of any retrofit device on fuel economy;

Retrofit Devices.--The Administrator shall prescribe regulations
