FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

16 CFR Part 305


Rule Concerning Disclosures Regarding Energy Consumption and 
Water Use of Certain Home Appliances and Other Products Required Under 
the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (``Appliance Labeling Rule'')

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') amends its 
Appliance Labeling rule by publishing new ranges of comparability to be 
used on required labels for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and 
freezers, and by issuing corrections to its ranges of comparability for 
room air conditioners, which were published on August 21, 1995.\1\ The 
Commission also announces that the ranges of comparability for central 
air conditioners and heat pumps, which were published on August 5, 
1994,\2\ will remain in effect until further notice. Finally, the 
Commission is amending the portions of Appendices H (Cooling 
Performance and Cost for Central Air Conditioners) and I (Heating 
Performance and Cost for Central Air Conditioners) to part 305 that 
contain cost calculation formulas. These amendments change the figures 
in the formulas to reflect the current Representative Average Unit Cost 
of electricity that was published in January by the Department of 
Energy (``DOE'').

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Section 324 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 
(``EPCA'') \3\ requires the Commission to consider labeling rules for 
the disclosure of estimated annual energy cost or alternative energy 
consumption 

[[Page 56946]]
information for at least thirteen categories of appliances. 
Refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, room air conditioners, central 
air conditioners, and heat pumps are included in those categories. The 
statute also requires DOE to develop test procedures that measure how 
much energy the appliances use, and to determine the representative 
average cost a consumer pays for the different types of energy 
available.

    \3\ 42 U.S.C. 6294.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 19, 1979, the Commission issued the Appliance Labeling 
Rule (``Rule''), which covered seven of the thirteen appliance 
categories that were then covered by DOE test procedures: refrigerators 
and refrigerator-freezers, freezers, dishwashers, clothes washers, 
water heaters, room air conditioners and furnaces (this category 
includes boilers).\4\ The Commission has extended the coverage of the 
Rule five times since it originally issued the Rule: in 1987 (central 
air conditioners, heat pumps, and pulse combustion and condensing 
furnaces \5\); 1989 (fluorescent lamp ballasts \6\); 1993 (certain 
plumbing products \7\ and certain lighting products \8\), and in 1994 
(pool heaters, instantaneous water heaters, and heat pump water heaters 
\9\).

    \4\ FR 66466, 16 CFR Part 305 (Nov. 19, 1979). The Statement of 
Basis and Purpose for the final Rule describes the reasons the 
Commission declined to cover the other categories of covered 
products. Id. at 66467-69.
    \5\ 52 FR 46888 (Dec. 10, 1987).
    \6\ 54 FR 28031 (July 5, 1989).
    \7\ 58 FR 54955 (Oct. 25, 1993).
    \8\ 59 FR 25176 (May 13, 1994).
    \9\ 59 FR 49556 (Sept. 28, 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 1, 1994, the Commission amended the Rule to make certain 
improvements, including making the label format more ``user-friendly,'' 
changing the energy usage descriptors required on labels, and adopting 
new product sub-categories for ranges of comparability purposes.\10\ 
The amendment prescribing a new label format affects the labels for all 
products. Labels for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers 
also are affected by the amendments requiring a new energy use 
descriptor and revised product sub-categories. More specifically, the 
amendments change the principal energy usage descriptor on labels for 
refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers from an estimated 
annual operating cost to an estimated annual energy consumption. In 
addition, the amendments eliminate the cost grid from the labels and 
add a secondary disclosure of energy usage in the form of an estimated 
annual operating cost in a box at the bottom of the label, with an 
expanded disclosure of the usage assumptions and electrical cost upon 
which the operating cost is based. The original effective date of these 
amendments was December 28, 1994, but, on December 8, 1994, the 
Commission granted a partial delay of compliance dates for these 
products.\11\ The Commission announces today that manufacturers of 
refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers must begin using the 
new labels (and ranges of comparability published herein) on all 
covered products manufactured on or after the effective date of today's 
notice.

    \10\ 59 FR 34014.
    \11\ 59 FR 63688.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 305.8(b) of the Rule requires manufacturers, after filing 
an initial report, to report annually by specified dates for each 
product type.\12\ These reports contain the estimated annual energy 
consumption or energy efficiency ratings for the appliances derived 
from tests performed pursuant to the DOE test procedures. Because 
manufacturers regularly add new models to their lines, improve existing 
models, and drop others, the data base from which the ranges of 
comparability are calculated is constantly changing. To keep the 
required information on labels up to date, the Commission is empowered, 
under Section 305.10 of the Rule, to publish new ranges (but not more 
often than annually) if an analysis of the new information indicates 
that the upper or lower limits of the ranges have changed by more than 
15%. Otherwise, the Commission must publish a statement that the prior 
ranges remain in effect for the next year.

    \12\ Reports for central air conditioners and heat pumps are due 
July 1; reports for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and 
freezers are due August 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Ranges of Comparability for Refrigerators, Refrigerator-freezers, 
and Freezers

    The Commission has analyzed annual submissions of data for 
refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers. The submissions 
have resulted in new ranges of comparability figures for these 
products. In compiling these ranges of comparability, the Commission 
did not include the estimated annual energy consumption of models with 
energy consumption in excess of DOE's current maximum energy use 
standards for this category, which became effective on January 1, 
1993.\13\ After that date, it became illegal to distribute in commerce 
products that exceed those standards. Because the standards have been 
in place for almost three years, the number of legally produced, but 
nonconforming, products still in the marketplace is likely to be small. 
Therefore, it is no longer appropriate to include those products in the 
ranges. The new ranges will supersede the current ranges for 
refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers, which were 
published on January 12, 1994.\14\

    \13\ 16 CFR 430.32(a) (1995).
    \14\ 59 FR 1626.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corrections to Ranges of Comparability for Room Air Conditioners That 
Were Published on August 21, 1995

    Energy efficiency figures for 1995 for room air conditioners were 
submitted earlier this year by manufacturers and analyzed by the 
Commission. New ranges of comparability based upon them were published 
in the Federal Register on August 21, 1995.\15\ The Commission staff 
has learned since publication that there were inadvertent errors in the 
ranges. The new ranges published today contain the corrected numbers. 
In preparing these corrections and in compiling the earlier ranges of 
comparability for these products, the Commission did not include the 
energy efficiency of models with efficiencies below DOE's current 
minimum efficiency standards for room air conditioners, which became 
effective on January 1, 1990.\16\ The Commission's reasoning is the 
same as in the case of the new ranges for refrigeration products, 
discussed above. For the sake of clarity, the Commission is 
republishing the complete set of ranges for room air conditioners in 
their corrected form.

    \15\ See note 1, above.
    \16\ 16 CFR 430.32(b) (1995).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Although these corrected ranges of comparability for room air 
conditioners are being published prior to the effective date of the 
August 21, 1995 notice, which is hereby rescinded, manufacturers need 
not relabel any room air conditioners already labeled and may use any 
labels that were ordered or printed before the date of this notice in 
good faith reliance on the August 21 notice. After this initial stock 
of labels is exhausted, however, manufacturers must use labels based on 
today's notice.

Changes Applicable to Disclosures for Central Air Conditioner and Heat 
Pumps

    The 1995 data submission for central air conditioners and heat 
pumps has been completed, and the Commission has determined that the 
upper and lower limits of the ranges of comparability for these 
products, which 

[[Page 56947]]
were published on August 5, 1994,\17\ have not changed by more than 
15%. Therefore, the Commission is announcing that those ranges will 
remain in effect until further notice.

    \17\ See note 2, above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is amending in this Notice, however, the cost 
calculation formulas appearing in the Appendices (H and I) to Part 305 
that contain, for central air conditioners and heat pumps, heating and 
cooling performance costs and the ranges of comparability. These 
formulas must be provided on fact sheets and in directories so 
consumers can calculate their own costs of operation for the central 
air conditioners and heat pumps that they are considering purchasing. 
This amendment changes the figures in the formulas to reflect the 
current Representative Average Unit Cost of Electricity--8.67 cents per 
kilowatt-hour--that was published on January 5, 1995, by DOE \18\ and 
by the Commission on February 17, 1995.\19\

    \18\ 60 FR 1773. This figure, along with national average cost 
figures for natural gas, propane, heating oil and kerosene, is 
published annually by DOE for the industry's use in calculating, 
among other figures, the cost figures required by the Commission's 
Rule.
    \19\ 60 FR 9295.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amendments

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Commission amends Appendices 
A1 through A8, B1 through B3, E, H, and I of its Appliance Labeling 
Rule by publishing the following ranges of comparability for use in the 
labeling and catalog sales of refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and 
freezers, the following corrected ranges of comparability for room air 
conditioners, and the following amendments to the cost calculation 
formulas that manufacturers of central air conditioners and heat pumps 
and must include on fact sheets and in directories, beginning February 
12, 1996.
