# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title:*                     R-value Rule, 16 CFR part 460.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     3084-0109.                

*Type of Review:*                     Extension of a currently approved collection.                

*Likely Respondents:*                     Insulation manufacturers, installers, home builders, home sellers, insulation sellers.                

*Estimated Annual Hours Burden:*                     132,707 hours.                

*Estimated Annual Cost Burden:*                     $2,732,510 (solely related to labor costs).                

*Abstract:*                     The R-value Rule establishes uniform standards for the substantiation and disclosure of accurate, material product information about the thermal performance characteristics of home insulation products. The R-value of an insulation signifies the insulation's degree of resistance to the flow of heat. This information tells consumers how well a product is likely to perform as an insulator and allows consumers to determine whether the cost of the insulation is justified.
