FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

16 CFR Part 305

RIN 3084–AA26

Rule Concerning Disclosures

Regarding Energy Consumption and

Water Use of Certain Home Appliances

and Other Products Required Under

the Energy Policy and Conservation

Act (‘‘Appliance Labeling Rule’’);

Correction to Ranges of Comparability

for Clothes Washers

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade

Commission amends its Appliance

Labeling Rule by issuing corrections to

the ranges of comparability used on

required labels for clothes washers that

were published on April 21, 1995.1

Properly labeled clothes washers

manufactured prior to the effective date

of this document (including clothes

washers labeled in accordance with the

ranges published on April 21, 1995)

need not be relabeled. Catalogs printed

prior to the effective date in accordance

with 16 CFR 305.14 need not be revised.

Those manufacturers who have already

printed or purchased labels in reliance

on the April 21 document may use those

labels until the label stock is exhausted;

they must use labels based on the ranges

published today after that.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 23, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

James Mills, Attorney, 202–326–3035,

Division of Enforcement, Federal Trade

Commission, Washington, D.C. 20580.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

notice publishes the corrected range

figures, which, under Sections 305.10,

305.11 and 305.14 of the rule, must be

used on labels on clothes washers

manufactured on and after August 23,

1995 and in advertising of clothes

washers in catalogs printed after August

23, 1995.

Estimated annual energy consumption

figures for 1995 for clothes washers

have been submitted by manufacturers

and analyzed by the Commission. New

ranges of comparability based upon

them were published in the Federal

Register on April 21, 1995. The staff of

the Commission has learned since

publication of the ranges that there was

an inadvertent error in the ranges. The

staff has corrected the error, and the

new ranges published today reflect the

correction. For the sake of clarity, the

Commission is republishing the

complete set of ranges in their

correction form.

Although this corrected notice is

being published prior to the effective

date of the April 21, 1995 notice, which

is now rescinded, manufacturers need

not relabel any appliances already

labeled and may use any labels that

were ordered or printed before the date

of this notice in good faith reliance on

the April 21 notice. After this initial

stock of labels is exhausted, however,

labels based on today’s notice must be

used.

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Commission amends Appendix F of its

Appliance Labeling Rule by publishing

the following ranges of comparability

for use in the labeling and advertising

of clothes washers beginning August 23,

1995.

Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer

Manual

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange

Commission.

ACTION: Final rules.

SUMMARY: The Commission is adopting

an updated edition of the EDGAR Filer

Manual and is providing for its

incorporation by reference into the Code

of Federal Regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The amendment to

Regulation S-T will be effective on June

7, 1995. The new edition of the EDGAR

Filer Manual (Release 4.30) will be

effective on June 7, 1995. The

incorporation by reference of the

EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the

Director of the Federal Register as of

June 7, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In

the Office of Information Technology,

David T. Copenhafer at (202) 942–8800;

in the Division of Corporation Finance,

Armfield Sanders at (202) 942–0633.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission today announces the

adoption of an updated EDGAR Filer

Manual (‘‘Filer Manual’’), which sets

forth the technical formatting

requirements governing the preparation

and submission of electronic filings

through the Electronic Data Gathering,

Analysis, and Retrieval (‘‘EDGAR’’)

system.1 Compliance with the

provisions of the Filer Manual is

required in order to assure the timely

acceptance and processing of filings

made in electronic format.2 Filers

should consult the Filer Manual in

conjunction with the Commission’s

rules governing mandated electronic

filing when preparing documents for

electronic submission.3 In this update,

new form types have been added in

order to implement solutions to

prospectus delivery issues arising in

connection with the change to T+3

securities transaction settlement.4 The

updated manual also contains some

minor additional changes to reflect

improvements requested by the filer

community and SEC staff, such as the

extension of the length of time that

temporary passwords remain active.

Rule 301 of Regulation S-T also is being

amended to provide for the

incorporation by reference of the Filer

Manual into the Code of Federal

Regulations, which incorporation by

reference was approved by the Director

of the Federal Register in accordance

with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51.

The revised Filer Manual and the

amendment to Rule 301 will be effective

on June 7, 1995.

Paper copies of the updated Filer

Manual may be obtained at the

following address: Public Reference

Room, U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission, Mail Stop 1–2, 450 Fifth

Street, N.W., Washington D.C. 20549.

Electronic format copies will be

available on the EDGAR electronic

bulletin board. Copies also may be

obtained from Disclosure Incorporated,

the paper and microfiche contractor for

the Commission, at (800) 638–8241.

Since the Filer Manual relates solely

to agency procedure or practice,

publication for notice and comment is

not required under the Administrative

Procedure Act.5 It follows that the

requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act 6 do not apply.

The changes in the Filer Manual are

effective June 7, 1995, in accordance

with the Administrative Procedure Act,

which allows for effectiveness in less

than 30 days after publication, if, inter

alia, ‘‘otherwise provided by the agency

for good cause found and published

with the rule.’’ 5 U.S.C 553(d)(3). The

Commission finds that there is good

cause for the updated Filer Manual to

become effective on June 7, 1995 since

the changes are designed to allow

market participants to comply with the

T+3 settlement cycle. The Commission

adopted final rules to facilitate

prospectus delivery within the T+3

settlement cycle. See Release No. 33–

7168 (May 11, 1995). Those rules, as

well as overall implementation of T+3

settlement, will become effective on

June 7, 1995. The changes made by the

updated Filer Manual are designed to

permit electronic filing of the

appropriate forms consistent with

Release No. 33–7168 (May 11, 1995).

Therefore, it is appropriate to make the

updated Filer Manual effective on the

same date as the newly adopted rules.

Moreover, effectiveness of the new rules

and the new Filer Manual on the same

date will ensure that potential market

disruption relating to prospectus

delivery would be avoided.

Statutory Basis

The amendment to Regulation S-T is

being adopted under Sections 6, 7, 8, 10,

and 19(a) of the Securities Act of 1933,7
