144 FR 66466 (Nov. 19, 1979). 
242 U.S.C. 6294. EPCA also requires the 
Department of Energy (DOE) to develop test 
procedures that measure how much energy appliances use and to determine the representative average cost a consumer pays for different types of energy. two, the creditor reduces the firm 
commitment to $50,000, which is below the $51,000 threshold then in effect. Because the account ceases to qualify for a § 1026.3(b) exemption on April 1 of year two, the account does not qualify for a § 1026.3(b) exemption based on a $52,000 initial extension of credit on July 1 of year two. 
5. Closed-end credit. 
i. Qualifying for exemption. A closed-end 
loan is exempt under § 1026.3(b) (unless the extension of credit is secured by real property, or by personal property used or expected to be used as the consumer’s principal dwelling; or is a private education loan as defined in § 1026.46(b)(5)), if either of the following conditions is met: 
A. The creditor makes an extension of 
credit at consummation that exceeds the threshold amount in effect at the time of consummation. In these circumstances, the loan remains exempt under § 1026.3(b) even if the amount owed is subsequently reduced below the threshold amount (such as through repayment of the loan). 
B. The creditor makes a commitment at 
consummation to extend a total amount of credit in excess of the threshold amount in effect at the time of consummation. In these circumstances, the loan remains exempt under § 1026.3(b) even if the total amount of credit extended does not exceed the threshold amount. 
ii. Subsequent changes. If a creditor makes 
a closed-end extension of credit or 
commitment to extend closed-end credit that exceeds the threshold amount in effect at the time of consummation, the closed-end loan remains exempt under § 1026.3(b) regardless of a subsequent increase in the threshold amount. However, a closed-end loan is not exempt under § 1026.3(b) merely because it is used to satisfy and replace an existing exempt loan, unless the new extension of credit is itself exempt under the applicable threshold amount. For example, assume a closed-end loan that qualified for a § 1026.3(b) exemption at consummation in year one is refinanced in year ten and that the new loan amount is less than the threshold amount in effect in year ten. In these circumstances, the creditor must comply with all of the applicable requirements of this part with respect to the year ten transaction if the original loan is satisfied and replaced by the new loan, which is not exempt under § 1026.3(b). See also comment 3(b)–6. 
6. Addition of a security interest in real 
property or a dwelling after account opening or consummation. 
i. Open-end credit. For open-end accounts, 
if after account opening a security interest is taken in real property, or in personal property used or expected to be used as the consumer’s principal dwelling, a previously exempt account ceases to be exempt under § 1026.3(b) and the creditor must begin to comply with all of the applicable requirements of this part within a reasonable period of time. See comment 3(b)–4.ii. If a security interest is taken in the consumer’s principal dwelling, the creditor must also give the consumer the right to rescind the security interest consistent with § 1026.15. 
ii. Closed-end credit. For closed-end loans, 
if after consummation a security interest is taken in real property, or in personal 
property used or expected to be used as the consumer’s principal dwelling, an exempt loan remains exempt under § 1026.3(b). However, the addition of a security interest in the consumer’s principal dwelling is a transaction for purposes of § 1026.23, and the creditor must give the consumer the right to rescind the security interest consistent with that section. See § 1026.23(a)(1) and its commentary. In contrast, if a closed-end loan that is exempt under § 1026.3(b) is satisfied and replaced by a loan that is secured by real property, or by personal property used or expected to be used as the consumer’s principal dwelling, the new loan is not 
exempt under § 1026.3(b), and the creditor must comply with all of the applicable requirements of this part. See comment 3(b)– 5. 
7. Application to extensions secured by 
mobile homes. Because a mobile home can be a dwelling under § 1026.2(a)(19), the exemption in § 1026.3(b) does not apply to a credit extension secured by a mobile home that is used or expected to be used as the principal dwelling of the consumer. See comment 3(b)–6. 
8. Transition rule for open-end accounts 
exempt prior to July 21, 2011. Section 1026.3(b)(2) applies only to open-end accounts opened prior to July 21, 2011. Section 1026.3(b)(2) does not apply if a security interest is taken by the creditor in real property, or in personal property used or expected to be used as the consumer’s principal dwelling. If, on July 20, 2011, an open-end account is exempt under § 1026.3(b) based on a firm commitment to extend credit in excess of $25,000, the account remains exempt under § 1026.3(b)(2) until December 31, 2011 (unless the firm commitment is reduced to $25,000 or less). If the firm commitment is increased on or before December 31, 2011 to an amount in excess of $50,000, the account remains exempt under § 1026.3(b)(1) regardless of subsequent increases in the threshold amount as a result of increases in the CPI– W. If the firm commitment is not increased on or before December 31, 2011 to an amount in excess of $50,000, the account ceases to be exempt under § 1026.3(b) based on a firm commitment to extend credit. For example: 
i. Assume that, on July 20, 2011, the 
account is exempt under § 1026.3(b) based on the creditor’s firm commitment to extend $30,000 in credit. On November 1, 2011, the creditor increases the firm commitment on the account to $55,000. In these circumstances, the account remains exempt under § 1026.3(b)(1) regardless of subsequent increases in the threshold amount as a result of increases in the CPI–W. 
ii. Same facts as paragraph 8.i of this 
section except, on November 1, 2011, the creditor increases the firm commitment on the account to $40,000. In these circumstances, the account ceases to be exempt under § 1026.3(b)(2) after December 31, 2011, and the creditor must begin to comply with the applicable requirements of this part.

Energy Labeling Rule 
AGENCY : Federal Trade Commission 
(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’). 
ACTION : Final rule. 
SUMMARY : The Commission amends the 
Energy Labeling Rule (‘‘Rule’’) to make 
the Rule easier to use by reorganizing several sections, amending language to increase clarity, eliminating several obsolete provisions, and making minor corrections. 
DATES : The amendments are effective on 
November 29, 2019. 
ADDRESSES : Copies of this document are 
available on the Commission’s website, www.ftc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Background 
The Commission issued the Energy 
Labeling Rule (‘‘Rule’’) in 1979,1 
pursuant to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (‘‘EPCA’’).
2 
The Rule requires energy labeling for major home appliances and other consumer products to help consumers compare competing models. It also contains labeling requirements for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, freezers, dishwashers, water heaters, clothes washers, room air conditioners, furnaces, central air conditioners, heat pumps, plumbing products, lighting products, ceiling fans, and televisions. 
The Rule requires manufacturers to 
attach yellow EnergyGuide labels to

316 CFR 305.10. 
4The four proposed product category sections 
were: § 305.3 (Description of appliances and 
consumer electronics), § 305.4 (Description of furnaces and central air conditioners), § 305.5 (Description of lighting products), and § 305.6 (Description of plumbing products). 5Under the proposal, the revised sections would 
include: § 305.13 (Layout, format, and placement of labels for all products), § 305.14 (Label content for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers), § 305.15 (Label content for clothes washers), § 305.16 (Label content for dishwashers), § 305.17 (Label content for water heaters), § 305.18 (Label content for room air conditioners), and § 305.19 (Label content for pool heaters). The proposed amendments renumbered but otherwise retained the current labeling sections for heating and cooling equipment, ceiling fans, lighting products, plumbing products, and televisions. 
6The proposed amendments also removed an 
obsolete provision (§ 305.4(d)(3)) related to industry petitions for revised energy representations made in response to new or amended DOE test procedures. At the time of the Rule’s initial publication, the Commission had responsibility for reviewing such petitions under EPCA. However, DOE has that responsibility under the current statute, making this particular provision no longer operable. See 42 
U.S.C. 6293(c)(3). 
7Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration 
Institute (AHRI), Drakontaidis, Korpal, and Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) submitted comments. The comments are available at https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=FTC-2019-0015. 8The Rule does not mandate specific language for 
the product descriptions at top, left of label. However, such descriptions may not include extraneous features beyond those identified in the Rule itself. See 83 FR 7593, 7595 (Feb. 22, 2018) 
and 81 FR 63634, 63639, n. 39 (Sept. 15, 2016). 
9The amendments make five additional minor 
corrections and updates: (1) Minor adjustments to the font size instructions on the refrigerator prototype label in Appendix L (‘‘Estimated Yearly Electricity Use’’ and ‘‘ftc.gov/energy’’) to match the sample itself and the online template; (2) corrections to line thicknesses on the Clothes Washer prototype and sample labels in Appendix L (does not affect the template label); (3) replacement of references to ANSI standards in the fluorescent and incandescent lamp definitions with appropriate references to EPCA; (4) updates to cross references in Appendices K1 and K2, and in the sample Lighting Facts labels in Appendix L; and (5) a clarification in new section 305.13 that labels affixed to boxes for certain products may have a yellow or a neutral contrasting background. In addition, FTC staff has corrected several issues AHAM identified with the online label templates posted on the FTC website for the convenience of manufacturers. See https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/ 
business-center/guidance/energyguide-labels- templates-manufacturers. 
10The amendments allow up to 12-point text for 
part or publication numbers on appliances, furnaces, and central air conditioner labels in newly designated sections 305.14–305.20. Given the size of such labels, the change should have no effect on consumer use or understanding. The amendments do not alter requirements for smaller EnergyGuide labels (e.g., television labels) because larger font 
sizes may crowd those labels. many of the covered products and 
prohibits retailers from removing these labels or rendering them illegible. In addition, it directs sellers, including retailers, to post label information on websites and in paper catalogs from which consumers can order products. EnergyGuide labels for most covered products contain three key disclosures: Estimated annual energy cost, a energy consumption or energy efficiency rating as determined by DOE test procedures, and a comparability range displaying the highest and lowest energy costs or efficiency ratings for all similar models. The Rule requires marketers to use national average costs for applicable energy sources (e.g., electricity, natural 
gas, oil) as calculated by DOE in all cost calculations. Under the Rule, the Commission periodically updates comparability range and annual energy cost information based on manufacturer data submitted pursuant to the Rule’s reporting requirements.

II. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
In March 2019, the Commission 
published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (‘‘NPRM’’) (84 FR 9261 (Mar. 14, 2019)) seeking comments on a series of proposed amendments intended to improve the Rule’s 
organization and clarity. The Commission proposed such changes because various amendments over the years had caused some sections to become lengthy and difficult to navigate. 
The NPRM sought comment on three 
general categories of proposed Rule changes. First, the proposed amendments divided current section 305.3 (Description of covered products), which lists the specific product types (e.g., clothes washers, LED lamps) 
covered by the Rule, into four different provisions organized by general product category (i.e., appliances, furnaces and 
central air conditioners, lighting, and plumbing).
4As the Commission 
explained in the NPRM, these changes should make it easier for stakeholders to identify relevant covered products, particularly for categories such as lighting, which contain several different product types and exemptions. 
Second, the amendments proposed in 
the NPRM divided section 305.11 into several different sections to make it easier to identify the labeling requirements applicable to specific products. Current section 305.11 addresses the label format and content for several appliances through a long list of instructions and exceptions. The proposed new provisions included a single section for general layout and formatting, plus six additional sections covering label content for refrigerators, clothes washers, dishwashers, water heaters, room air conditioners, and pool heaters.
5 
Third, the proposed amendments 
removed obsolete references to products produced decades ago (e.g., exemptions 
for plumbing products produced before 1994).
6As noted in the NPRM, such 
provisions are no longer necessary because units produced before those dates are unlikely to be sold as new today. Finally, the proposed amendments made several minor changes to eliminate unnecessary cross references and made minor corrections. 
The Commission sought comment on 
these proposed amendments and any suggestions to clarify, correct, improve, or otherwise make the Rule easier to use. The NPRM stated that the Commission was not seeking comments on substantive changes to the Rule, such as modifications to label content, disclosure requirements, or product coverage. 
III. Comments Received and Final 
Amendments 
In response to the NPRM, the 
Commission received four comments.
7 
All of them supported (or did not object to) the Commission’s proposed amendments. AHAM, for example, stated that the revisions ‘‘streamline some areas and reduce redundancy.’’ AHRI supported the effort ‘‘to reorganize and clarify’’ the Rule. In 
addition, commenter Drakontaidis stated that changes would make the rule much ‘‘easier to comprehend and more accessible to’’ both businesses and consumers. Given the comments, the Commission issues the amendments as proposed. In addition, some commenters offered suggestions not included in the NPRM, some of which the Commission includes in the final amendments as discussed below. 
First, AHAM recommended a small 
change to refrigerator-freezer model descriptions in the Appendix A tables (‘‘Without Through-the-Door Ice’’) to match the sample refrigerator label (‘‘No through-the-door ice’’).
8Second, 
AHAM, along with commenter Korpal, noted the need to adjust the size of the ENERGY STAR logo on the sample labels in Appendix L.
9Third, AHRI 
recommended the Commission allow manufacturers to use a larger text size for part or publication numbers used on EnergyGuide labels (as allowed by the current Rule) to ensure manufacturers can match labels to the correct models. The final amendments contain these minor corrections and changes.
10To 
avoid any burden associated with these minor label amendments, manufacturers may wait to implement any necessary changes until their next label print run. 
If manufacturers have any questions

11The Commission finds good cause for 
implementing these various minor technical 
corrections and changes without further notice and comment. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B); 16 CFR 1.26(b). 
1272 FR 49947, 49961 (Aug. 29, 2007). 
13See newly designated section 305.13. 
1472 FR 49947, 49956 (Aug. 29, 2007). 
15Commenter Drakontaidis suggested that the 
Commission create a summary section in the Rule ‘‘as a sort of refresher for anything that might be missed by the reader.’’ Because the amendments already shorten the Rule, such a summary does not appear necessary. about the timing of such changes, they 
may contact FTC staff for guidance.11 
AHAM also requested an amendment 
to allow manufacturers to attach hangtags on clothes washer exteriors. The Commission declines to make this change as part of this proceeding. The current Rule does not allow hangtags on the outside of products due to concerns raised in an earlier proceeding about the durability of such tags, and AHAM has not indicated why such concerns are no longer valid.
12Furthermore, such an 
amendment falls outside of the scope of this rulemaking. If manufacturers wish to place labels on the outside of clothes washers, they may use adhesive labels under the current Rule.
13 
Finally, AHRI, which expressed 
support for Commissioner Wilson’s dissenting statement on the NPRM (84 FR at 9272–73), recommended a broader, substantive rule review aimed at reducing regulatory burden. Specifically, AHRI urged elimination of physical labels for central air conditioners, heat pumps, and furnaces. According to AHRI, the large majority of those products are not purchased off the shelves at retail stores, and consumers generally do not view them before installation. The Commission is not considering such changes at this time because they fall outside of the scope of this rulemaking, which, as explained in the NPRM, is limited to improving the Rule’s organization and making minor modifications and corrections. In addition, the Commission considered similar concerns in the past and concluded that the labels on such equipment help consumers in both their 
use of existing equipment and their purchasing decisions for replacement products.
14The Commission may 
consider AHRI’s concerns and other broad issues in future proceedings.
15 
IV. Paperwork Reduction Act 
The current Rule contains 
recordkeeping, disclosure, testing, and reporting requirements that constitute information collection requirements as defined by 5 CFR 1320.3(c), the definitional provision within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations that implement the Paperwork Reduction Act. OMB has approved the Rule’s existing information collection requirements through November 30, 2019 (OMB Control No. 3084–0069). The amendments do not change the substance or frequency of the recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting requirements and therefore do not require further OMB clearance. 
V. Regulatory Flexibility Act 
The provisions of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act relating to a Regulatory 
Flexibility Act analysis (5 U.S.C. 603– 604) are not applicable to this proceeding because the proposed amendments do not impose any new or different obligations on entities regulated by the Energy Labeling Rule. As explained elsewhere in this document, the amendments do not change the substance or frequency of the recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting requirements. Thus, the amendments will not have a ‘‘significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.’’ 5 U.S.C. 605. The Commission has, therefore, concluded that a regulatory flexibility analysis is not necessary, and certifies, under 5 U.S.C. 605(b), that the amendments will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rulemaking document constitutes notice of the above certification and statement to the Small Business Administration required under 5 U.S.C. 605(b).

paragraph (e)(3) of this section, the labels must be affixed to the product in the form of an adhesive label for any product covered by this section, or in the form of a hang tag for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, freezers, dishwashers, and clothes washers, as follows: 
(1) Adhesive labels. All adhesive 
labels should be applied so they can be easily removed without the use of tools or liquids, other than water, but should be applied with an adhesive with an adhesion capacity sufficient to prevent their dislodgment during normal handling throughout the chain of distribution to the retailer or consumer. The paper stock for pressure-sensitive or other adhesive labels shall have a basic weight of not less than 58 pounds per 500 sheets (25″ x 38″) or equivalent, 
exclusive of the release liner and adhesive. A minimum peel adhesion capacity for the adhesive of 12 ounces per square inch is suggested, but not required if the adhesive can otherwise meet the above standard. In lieu of a label with adhesive backing, manufacturers may adhere the label with adhesive tape, provided the tape is affixed along the entire top and bottom of the label. 
(2) Hang tags. Labels may be affixed 
to the product interior in the form of a 
hang tag using cable ties or double strings connected through reinforced punch holes, or with attachment and label material of equivalent or greater strength and durability. If paper stock is used for hang tags, it shall have a basic weight of not less than 110 pounds per 500 sheets (25
1⁄2″ x 301⁄2″ index). When 
materials are used to attach the hang tags to appliance products, the materials shall be of sufficient strength to insure that if gradual pressure is applied to the hang tag by pulling it away from where it is affixed to the product, the hang tag will tear before the material used to affix the hang tag to the product breaks. 
(3) Package labels for certain 
products. Labels for electric 
instantaneous water heaters shall be printed on or affixed to the product’s packaging in a conspicuous location. Labels for room air conditioners produced on or after October 1, 2019 shall be printed on or affixed to the principal display panel of the product’s 
packaging. The labels for electric instantaneous water heaters and room air conditioners shall be black type and graphics on a process yellow or other neutral contrasting background. 
(f) Placement—(1) Adhesive labels. 
Manufacturers shall affix adhesive labels to the covered products in such a position that it is easily read by a consumer examining the product. The label should be generally located on the upper-right-front corner of the product’s front exterior. However, some other 
prominent location may be used as long as the label will not become dislodged during normal handling throughout the chain of distribution to the retailer or consumer. The top of the label should not exceed 74 inches from the base of taller products. The label can be displayed in the form of a flap tag adhered to the top of the appliance and bent (folded at 90°) to hang over the front, as long as this can be done with assurance that it will be readily visible. 
(2) Hang tags. A hang tag shall be 
affixed to the interior of the product in such a position that it can be easily read by a consumer examining the product. A hang tag can be affixed in any position that meets this requirement as long as the label will not become dislodged during normal handling throughout the chain of distribution to the retailer or consumer. Hang tags may only be affixed in refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, freezers, dishwashers, and clothes washers.
