Sec. 431.31  Labeling requirements.

    (a) Electric motor nameplate--(1) Required information. The 
permanent nameplate of an electric motor for which standards are 
prescribed in Sec. 431.25 must be marked clearly with the following 
information:
    (i) The motor's nominal full load efficiency (as of the date of 
manufacture), derived from the motor's average full load efficiency as 
determined pursuant to this subpart; and
    (ii) A Compliance Certification number (``CC number'') supplied by 
DOE to the manufacturer or private labeler, pursuant to Sec. 431.36(f), 
and applicable to that motor. Such CC number must be on the nameplate of 
a motor beginning 90 days after either:
    (A) The manufacturer or private labeler has received the number upon 
submitting a Compliance Certification covering that motor, or
    (B) The expiration of 21 days from DOE's receipt of a Compliance 
Certification covering that motor, if the manufacturer or private 
labeler has not been advised by DOE that the Compliance Certification 
fails to satisfy Sec. 431.36.
    (2) Display of required information. All orientation, spacing, type 
sizes, type faces, and line widths to display this required information 
shall be the same as or similar to the display of the other performance 
data on the motor's permanent nameplate. The nominal full load 
efficiency shall be identified either by the term ``Nominal Efficiency'' 
or ``Nom. Eff.'' or by the terms specified in paragraph 12.58.2 of NEMA 
MG1-1993, (Incorporated by reference, see Sec. 431.15) as for example 
``NEMA Nom. Eff. --------.'' The DOE number shall be in the form ``CC--
------.
    (3) Optional display. The permanent nameplate of an electric motor, 
a separate plate, or decalcomania, may be marked with the encircled 
lower case letters ``ee'', for example,

or with some comparable designation or logo, if the motor meets the 
applicable standard prescribed in Sec. 431.25, as determined pursuant 
to this subpart, and is covered by a Compliance Certification that 
satisfies Sec. 431.36.
    (b) Disclosure of efficiency information in marketing materials. (1) 
The same information that must appear on an electric motor's permanent 
nameplate pursuant to paragraph (a)(1) of this section, shall be 
prominently displayed:
    (i) On each page of a catalog that lists the motor; and
    (ii) In other materials used to market the motor.
    (2) The ``ee'' logo, or other similar logo or designations, may also 
be used in catalogs and other materials to the same extent they may be 
used on labels under paragraph (a)(3) of this section.
