3Some dealers opt to contract with outside 

contractors to perform the various tasks associated 

with complying with the Rule. Staff assumes that 

outside contractors would require about the same 

amount of time and incur similar costs as dealers 

to perform these tasks. Accordingly, the hour and 

cost burden totals shown, while referring to 

‘‘dealers,’’ incorporate the time and cost borne by 

outside companies in performing the tasks 

associated with the Rule.

Abstract 

Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521, 

Federal agencies must obtain OMB 

approval for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ includes 

agency requests or requirements to 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3); 5 CFR 1320.3(c). As required by 

section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the 

FTC is providing this opportunity for 

public comment before requesting that 

OMB extend the existing paperwork 

clearance for the Used Car Rule, 16 CFR 

part 455 (OMB Control Number 3084– 

0108). 

The Used Car Rule promotes informed 

purchasing decisions by requiring that 

used car dealers display a form called a 

‘‘Buyers Guide’’ on each used car 

offered for sale that, among other things, 

discloses information about warranty 

coverage and other information to assist 

purchasers. The Rule has no 

recordkeeping or reporting 

requirements. The FTC seeks clearance 

for the Rule’s disclosure requirements 

and the estimated PRA burden for those 

requirements. 

Burden Statement 

Estimated total annual hours burden: 

3,338,568. 

As explained in more detail below, 

this total is based on estimates of the 

number of new car and used car dealers 

that sell used cars (46,525 1), the number 

of used cars sold by dealers annually 

(approximately 40,807,000 2), and the 

time needed to fulfill the information 

collection tasks required by the Rule.3

The Rule requires that used car 

dealers display a one-page, double-sided 

Buyers Guide on each used car that they 

offer for sale. The component tasks 

associated with the Rule’s required 

display of Buyers Guides include: (1) 

Ordering and stocking Buyers Guides; 

(2) entering data on Buyers Guides; (3) 

displaying the Buyers Guides on 

vehicles; (4) revising Buyers Guides as 

necessary; and (5) complying with the 

Rule’s requirements for sales conducted 

in Spanish. 

1. Ordering and Stocking Buyers 

Guides: Dealers should need no more 

than an average of two hours per year 

to obtain Buyers Guides, which are 

readily available from many commercial 

printers or can be produced by an office 

word-processing or desktop publishing 

system.4 Based on an estimated 

population of 46,525 dealers, the annual 

hours burden for producing or obtaining 

and stocking Buyers Guides is 93,050 

hours (46,525 dealers × 2 minutes). 

2. Entering Data on Buyers Guides: 

The amount of time required to enter 

applicable data on Buyers Guides may 

vary substantially, depending on 

whether a dealer has automated the 

process. For used cars sold ‘‘as is,’’ 

copying vehicle-specific data from 

dealer inventories to Buyers Guides and 

checking the ‘‘No Warranty’’ box may 

take two to three minutes per vehicle if 

done by hand, and only seconds for 

those dealers who have automated the

language/ (last visited March 7, 2022). 

8The hourly rate is based on the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics estimate of the mean hourly wage for 

office clerks, general. Occupational Employment 

and Wages, May 2020, 43–9061 Office Clerks, 

General, available at: https://www.bls.gov/oes/ 

current/oes439061.htm#nat. 

process or use pre-printed forms. Staff 

estimates that dealers will require an 

average of two minutes per Buyers 

Guide to complete this task. Similarly, 

for used cars sold under warranty, the 

time required to check the ‘‘Warranty’’ 

box and to add warranty information, 

such as the additional information 

required in the Percentage of Labor/ 

Parts and the Systems Covered/Duration 

sections of the Buyers Guide, will 

depend on whether the dealer uses a 

manual or automated process or Buyers 

Guides that are pre-printed with the 

dealer’s standard warranty terms. Staff 

estimates that these tasks will take an 

average of one additional minute, i.e., 

cumulatively, an average total time of 

three minutes for each used car sold 

under warranty. 

Staff estimates that dealers sell 

approximately fifty percent of used cars 

‘‘as is’’ and the other half under 

warranty. Therefore, staff estimates that 

the overall time required to enter data 

on Buyers Guides consists of 680,117 

hours for used cars sold without a 

warranty (40,807,000 vehicles × 50% × 

2 minutes per vehicle) and 1,020,175 

hours for used cars sold under warranty 

(40,807,000 vehicles × 50% × 3 minutes 

per vehicle) for a cumulative estimated 

total of 1,700,292 hours. 

3. Displaying Buyers Guides on 

Vehicles: Although the time required to 

display the Buyers Guides on each used 

car may vary, FTC staff estimates that 

dealers will spend an average of 1.75 

minutes per vehicle to match the correct 

Buyers Guide to the vehicle and to 

display it on the vehicle. The estimated 

burden associated with this task is 

approximately 1,190,204 hours 

(40,807,000 vehicles × 1.75 minutes per 

vehicle). 

4. Revising Buyers Guides as 

Necessary: If negotiations between the 

buyer and seller over warranty coverage 

produce a sale on terms other than those 

originally entered on the Buyers Guide, 

the dealer must revise the Buyers Guide 

to reflect the actual terms of sale. 

According to the original rulemaking 

record, bargaining over warranty 

coverage rarely occurs. Staff notes that 

consumers often do not need to 

negotiate over warranty coverage 

because they can find vehicles that are 

offered with the desired warranty 

coverage online or in other ways before 

ever contacting a dealer. Accordingly, 

staff assumes that dealers will revise the 

Buyers Guide in no more than two 

percent of sales, with an average time of 

two minutes per revision. Therefore, 

staff estimates that dealers annually will 

spend approximately 27,205 hours 

revising Buyers Guides (40,807,000 

vehicles × 2% × 2 minutes per vehicle). 

5. Spanish Language Sales: The Rule 

requires dealers to make contract 

disclosures in Spanish if the dealer 

conducts a sale in Spanish.5 The Rule 

permits displaying both an English and 

a Spanish language Buyers Guide to 

comply with this requirement.6 Many 

dealers with large numbers of Spanishspeaking customers likely will post both 

English and Spanish Buyers Guides to 

avoid potential compliance violations. 

Calculations from United States 

Census Bureau surveys indicate that 

approximately 13.4 percent of the 

United States population speaks 

Spanish at home, and 8.4 percent of the 

population speak English less than very 

well.7 Staff therefore estimate that 

dealers will conduct approximately 8.4 

percent of used car sales in Spanish. 

Accordingly, dealers will incur the 

additional burden of completing and 

displaying a second Buyers Guide in 

approximately 3,427,788 sales assuming 

that dealers choose to comply with the 

Rule by posting both English and 

Spanish Buyers Guides. Moreover, as 

noted above, FTC staff estimates that 

approximately 50% of used cars are sold 

as-is without a warranty, while the 

remainder are sold with a warranty. As 

a result, staff estimates that the annual 

hours burden associated with entering 

data on Buyers Guides for sales in 

Spanish of cars without a warranty is 

57,130 hours (1,713,894 sales × 2 

minutes). The estimated annual hours 

burden associated with completing 

Spanish language buyers guides for 

vehicles with a warranty is 85,695 hours 

(1,713,894 sales × 3 minutes). In 

addition, staff estimates that the 

additional burden caused by the Rule’s 

requirement that dealers display 

Spanish language Buyers Guides when 

conducting sales in Spanish is 99,977 

hours (3,427,788 sales × 1.75 minutes). 

6. Optional Disclosures of Non-Dealer 

Warranties: The Rule does not require 

dealers to disclose information about 

non-dealer warranties, but provides 

dealers with the options to disclose 

such warranties on Buyers Guides. FTC 

staff has estimated that dealers will 

make the optional disclosures on 25% 

of used cars offered for sale. Staff 

believes that checking the optional 

boxes to disclose a non-dealer warranty 

should require dealers no more than 30 

seconds per vehicle. Accordingly, based 

on 40,807,000 used cars sold, staff 

estimates that making the optional 

disclosures entails a burden of 85,015 

hours (25% × 40,807,000 vehicles sold 

× 1/120 hour per vehicle). 

Estimated Annual Cost Burden 

1. Labor costs: Labor costs are derived 

by applying appropriate hourly cost 

figures to the burden hours described 

above. Staff has determined that all of 

the tasks associated with ordering 

forms, entering data on Buyers Guides, 

posting Buyers Guides on vehicles, and 

revising them as needed, including the 

corresponding tasks associated with 

Spanish Buyers Guides and providing 

optional disclosures about non-dealer 

warranties, are typically done by 

clerical or low-level administrative 

personnel. Using a clerical cost rate of 

$18.16 per hour 8 and an estimated 

annual burden of 3,338,568 hours for 

disclosure requirements, the total labor 

cost burden is $60,628,394 ($18.16 per 

hour × 3,338,568 hours). 

2. Capital or other non-labor costs: 

Although the cost of Buyers Guides may 

vary, staff estimates that the average cost 

of each Buyers Guide is thirty cents 

based on industry input. Therefore, the 

estimated cost of Buyers Guides for the 

estimated 40,807,000 used cars sold by 

dealers is approximately $12,242,100 

(40,807,000 vehicles sold × 30 cents). In 

making this estimate, staff assumes that 

all dealers will purchase pre-printed 

forms instead of producing them 

internally, although dealers may 

produce them at lower expense using 

their own office automation technology. 

Capital and start-up costs associated 

with the Rule are minimal. 

Request for Comment: Pursuant to 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the 

FTC invites comments on: (1) Whether 

the disclosure, recordkeeping, and 

reporting requirements are necessary, 

including whether the resulting 

information will be practically useful; 

(2) the accuracy of our burden estimates, 

including whether the methodology and 

assumptions used are valid; (3) how to 

improve the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the disclosure requirements; and (4) 

how to minimize the burden of 

providing the required information to 

consumers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

Child Hospital Consumer Assessment of 

Healthcare Providers and Systems 

(Child HCAHPS) Survey Database 

The Child Hospital CAHPS Survey 

(Child HCAHPS) assesses the 

experiences of pediatric patients (less 

than 18 years old) and their parents or 

guardians with inpatient care. It 

complements the Adult Hospital 

CAHPS Survey (Adult HCAHPS), which 

asks adult inpatients about their 

experiences. The Child HCAHPS 

Database is a voluntary database 

available to all Child HCAHPS users to 

support both quality improvement and 

research to enhance the patientcenteredness of care delivered to 

pediatric hospital patients. 

Rationale for the information 

collection. Like the survey instrument 

itself and related toolkit materials to 

support survey implementation, 

aggregated Child HCAHPS Database 

results are made publicly available on 

AHRQ’s CAHPS website. Technical 

assistance is provided by AHRQ through 

its contractor at no charge to hospitals 

to facilitate the access and use of these 

materials for quality improvement and 

research. Technical assistance is also 

provided to support Child HCAHPS 

data submission. 

The Child HCAHPS Database 

supports AHRQ’s goals of promoting 

improvements in the quality and 

patient-centeredness of health care in 

pediatric hospital settings. This research 

has the following goals: 

1. Improve care provided by 

individual hospitals and hospital 

systems. 

2. Offer several products and services, 

including providing survey results 

presented through an Online Reporting 

System, summary chartbooks, custom 

analyses, private reports and data for 

research purposes. 

3. Provides information to help 

identify strengths and areas with 

potential for improvement in patient 

care. 

Survey data from the Child HCAHPS 

Database will be used to produce three 

types of reporting products: 

• Hospital Feedback Reports. 

Hospitals that submit data will have 

access to a customized report that 

presents findings for their individual 

submission along with results from the 

database overall. These ‘‘private’’ 

hospital feedback reports will display 

sortable results for each of the Child 

HCAHPS core composite measures and
