    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 June 3, 2022, the FTC sought comment on the information 
collection requirements associated with the Rule. 87 FR 33790. The FTC 
received no germane comments during the public comment period. 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 87 FR 33790.
