FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
16 CFR Part 305
[RIN 3084-AB03]
Appliance Labeling Rule
AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') is issuing
technical corrections to the Appliance Labeling Rule (16 CFR Part 305).
This document republishes the text of Sec. 305.20(f) concerning
catalog requirements not published in the CFR and corrects text in
Appendix D4 concerning labels for instantaneous water heaters.
DATES: Effective Date: July 19, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hampton Newsome, Attorney, Division of
Enforcement, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Federal Trade Commission,
Washington, DC 20580 (202-326-2889).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission is republishing Sec.
305.20(f) of the Appliance Labeling Rule (16 CFR Part 305) which
appeared in the Federal Register on October 23, 2008 (73 FR 63066,
63068), but was inadvertently not printed in the Code of Federal
Regulations. In addition, the Commission is correcting text in Appendix
D4 to the change the phrase ``First Hour Rating'' to ``Capacity
(maximum flow rate); gallons per minute (gpm).'' \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Commission last amended Appendix D4 (comparability
ranges for instantaneous gas water heaters) on August 29, 2007 (72
FR 49948). The correct capacity descriptor for instantaneous water
heaters is maximum flow rate measured in gallons per minute, not
``first hour rating'' as the current Rule indicates.
