recordkeeping: 30 minutes x 58 industry

members = 29 burden hours.

Total 1997 burden hours:

approximately 1,500 (rounded).

To re-emphasize, the FTC is not

amending, nor is it in the process of

amending, the Alternative Fuel Rule.

The burden hours associated with the

Rule have been recalculated because, as

originally anticipated when the Rule

was promulgated in 1995, many of the

information collection requirements

collection requirements and the

originally-estimated hours were

associated with one-time start up tasks

of implementing standard systems and

processes. In addition, the FTC has

reduced the estimated burden hours

because the industry complies with

many of these requirements in the

ordinary course of business and, as

stated above, the definition of ‘‘burden’’

excludes effort that would be expended

regardless of any regulatory

requirement. 5 CFR 1320.2(b)(2).

General Counsel.
