FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

16 CFR Part 305 

RIN 3084–AB03 

EnergyGuide Labels on Televisions 

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) amends 

its Energy Labeling Rule (‘‘Rule’’) by 

publishing new ranges of comparability 

for required EnergyGuide labels on 

televisions. 

DATES: Effective July 15, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Hampton Newsome, Attorney, Division 

of Enforcement, Federal Trade 

Commission, Washington, DC 20580 

(202–326–2889). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Commission issued the Energy 

Labeling Rule in 1979, 44 FR 66466 

(Nov. 19, 1979) pursuant to the Energy 

Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 

(‘‘EPCA’’).1 The Rule covers several 

categories of major household products, 

including televisions. It requires 

manufacturers of covered products to 

disclose specific energy consumption or 

efficiency information (derived from 

Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) test 

procedures) at the point-of-sale. In 

addition, each label must include a 

‘‘range of comparability’’ indicating the 

highest and lowest energy consumption 

or efficiencies for comparable models. 

The Commission updates these ranges 

periodically. 

II. Range Updates for Televisions 

The Commission amends its 

television ranges in section 305.17(f)(5) 

based on manufacturer data derived 

from the DOE test procedures and 

posted on the DOE Web site (https://

www.regulations.doe.gov/ccms). Last 

year, the Commission issued changes to 

the television labeling requirements, 

including new reporting and testing 

provisions, to conform the FTC Rule to 

a new DOE test procedure (79 FR 19464 

(April 9, 2014)). In that Notice, the 

Commission also discussed the 

possibility that it would revise the 

Rule’s comparability ranges following 

the submission by manufacturers of new 

model data derived from the DOE test 

procedure.2 The Commission now 

updates those ranges, along with related 

sample labels. In addition, these 

amendments update the cost figure on 

the television label to 12 cents per kWh 

consistent with other labeled products.3

Manufacturers have until July 15, 2015 

to begin using the ranges on their labels. 

III. Administrative Procedure Act 

The amendments published in this 

Notice are purely ministerial in nature 

and implement the Rule’s requirement 

that representations for televisions be 

derived from DOE test procedures. See 

16 CFR 305.5(d). Accordingly, the 

Commission has good cause under 

section 553(b)(B) of the APA to forgo 

notice-and comment procedures for 

these rule amendments. 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B). These technical amendments 

merely provide a routine, conforming 

change to the range and cost 

information required on EnergyGuide 

labels. The Commission therefore finds 

for good cause that public comment for 

these technical, procedural amendments 

is impractical and unnecessary. 

IV. 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 amendments do 

not impose any new obligations on 

entities regulated by the Energy 

Labeling Rule. These technical 

amendments merely provide a routine 

change to the range information 

required on EnergyGuide labels. Thus, 

the amendments will not have a 

‘‘significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities.’’ 4

The Commission has concluded, 

therefore, that a regulatory flexibility 

analysis is not necessary, and certifies, 

under Section 605 of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), that the 

amendments announced today will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

V. 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 (PRA). OMB 

has approved the Rule’s existing 

information collection requirements 

through May 31, 2017 (OMB Control No. 

3084 0069). The amendments now being 

adopted do not change the substance or 

frequency of the recordkeeping,

and, therefore, do not require further 

OMB clearance.

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration,

ACTION: Final order. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) is classifying the 

brain injury adjunctive interpretive 

electroencephalograph assessment aid 

into class II (special controls). The 

special controls that will apply to the 

device are identified in this order and 

will be part of the codified language for 

the brain injury adjunctive interpretive 

electroencephalograph assessment aid’s 

classification. The Agency is classifying 

the device into class II (special controls) 

in order to provide a reasonable 

assurance of safety and effectiveness of 

the device. 

DATES: This order is effective March 27, 

2015. The classification was applicable 

on November 17, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

In accordance with section 513(f)(1) of 

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 

Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 

360c(f)(1)), devices that were not in 

commercial distribution before May 28, 

1976 (the date of enactment of the 

Medical Device Amendments of 1976), 

generally referred to as postamendments 

devices, are classified automatically by 

statute into class III without any FDA 

rulemaking process. These devices 

remain in class III and require 

premarket approval, unless and until 

the device is classified or reclassified 

into class I or II, or FDA issues an order 

finding the device to be substantially 

equivalent, in accordance with section 

513(i) of the FD&C Act, to a predicate 

device that does not require premarket 

approval. The Agency determines 

whether new devices are substantially 

equivalent to predicate devices by 

means of premarket notification 

procedures in section 510(k) of the 

FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360(k)) and part 

807 (21 CFR part 807) of the regulations. 

Section 513(f)(2) of the FD&C Act, as 

amended by section 607 of the Food and 

Drug Administration Safety and 

Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112–144), 

provides two procedures by which a 

person may request FDA to classify a 

device under the criteria set forth in 

section 513(a)(1). Under the first 

procedure, the person submits a 

premarket notification under section 

510(k) of the FD&C Act for a device that 

has not previously been classified and, 

within 30 days of receiving an order 

classifying the device into class III 

under section 513(f)(1) of the FD&C Act, 

the person requests a classification
