understood terms to describe the 

warranty to consumers. Section I 

permits Respondent to not modify its 

existing calendar year 2022 warranty 

documents, provided that Respondent 

provides all purchasers of its calendar 

year 2022 motorcycles with a copy of 

the updated warranty and a customer 

notice and requires its authorized 

dealers to maintain copies of these 

records. 

Section II prohibits Respondent from 

representing to consumers, expressly or 

by implication, (a) that its warranties 

will be void if they use third-party parts 

or services or if they modify or alter the 

product without authorization, or (b) as 

a condition of warranty coverage or in 

the written warranty, that consumers 

should only use branded parts or have 

their product repaired, altered or 

serviced by authorized service 

providers. Respondent will be permitted 

to exclude from its warranty coverage 

(1) damages caused by the use of 

unauthorized parts or services, the use 

of its vehicles for racing or competitions 

or the installation of parts designed for 

unauthorized uses of the vehicle, such 

as trailer hitches, and (2) all functional 

defects of powertrain components for 

any Harley-Davidson motorcycle 

registered in the United States if the 

vehicle was tuned using a tuning 

product not covered by a California Air 

and Resources Board Executive Order or 

that was otherwise approved by the 

Environmental Protection Agency, or if 

Harley-Davidson or any authorized 

Harley-Davidson dealer has any 

information to show that the vehicle 

was tuned using a tuning product not 

covered by a California Air and 

Resources Board Executive Order or that 

was otherwise approved by the 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

Section II also requires Respondent to 

include language in the warranty that 

affirmatively notifies consumers of their 

rights to use third-party services and 

parts under the Magnuson-Moss 

Warranty Act and enjoins Respondent 

from misrepresenting any material facts 

to consumers about the warranty. 

Sections III and IV require 

Respondent to inform its customers and 

authorized dealers and service providers 

that its warranty has been updated, and 

that the updated warranty is not 

conditioned on the use of authorized 

parts or services. Respondent must 

clearly and conspicuously post and 

keep on its website the notice and its 

updated warranty terms, and it must 

submit reports regarding its notification 

program. Sections V through VII of the 

Proposed Order are reporting and 

compliance provisions, which include 

recordkeeping requirements and 

provisions requiring Respondent to 

provide information or documents 

necessary for the Commission to 

monitor compliance with the Proposed 

Order. Section IX states that the 

Proposed Order will remain in effect for 

twenty (20) years, with certain 

exceptions. 

The purpose of this analysis is to aid 

public comment on the Proposed Order. 

It is not intended to constitute an 

official interpretation of the complaint 

or Proposed Order, or to modify in any 

way the Proposed Order’s terms. 

By direction of the Commission.

Secretary. 

Statement of Chair Lina M. Khan Joined 

by Commissioner Rebecca Kelly 

Slaughter 

Today the Commission announced 

actions settling charges that HarleyDavidson, LLC and MWE Investments, 

LLC (‘‘Westinghouse’’) have engaged in 

unlawful repair restrictions. As stated in 

the complaints, the Commission 

charged Harley-Davidson, which 

manufactures motorcycles and related 

equipment, and Westinghouse, which 

makes and sells outdoor generators and 

related products, with unlawfully 

conditioning their warranties on the use 

of authorized parts in violation of both 

the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and 

the FTC Act. The Commission also 

alleged that Harley-Davidson failed to 

provide a clear description of warranty 

terms in a single document, a violation 

of the Disclosure Rule. 

The consent orders obtained in these 

matters bar both manufacturers from 

continuing the unlawful tying of their 

warranties to the use of authorized 

service or parts and prohibit them from 

misrepresenting any material facts about 

the warranty. Importantly, the firms are 

also required to note clearly and 

conspicuously in public statements that 

using third-party parts or repair services 

will not void the warranty. They must 

also provide customers with clear notice 

alerting them of the change. 

In July 2021, the Commission 

unanimously adopted a policy 

statement that committed the agency to 

prioritizing enforcement actions 

tackling unlawful repair restrictions.1

Today’s enforcement actions—the first 

addressing unlawful repair restrictions 

since we adopted the policy statement— 

mark an important step forward, 

demonstrating our commitment to 

vigorously protecting Americans’ right 

to repair. We are grateful to the Bureau 

of Consumer Protection staff for their 

excellent work driving this effort 

forward. 

Illegal repair restrictions can 

significantly raise costs for consumers, 

stifle innovation, close off business 

opportunity for independent repair 

shops, create unnecessary electronic 

waste, delay timely repairs, and 

undermine resiliency—harms that can 

have an outsized impact on low-income 

communities in particular.2 It is critical 

that unlawful repair restrictions 

continue to be a key area of focus for the 

Commission and that we continue to 

use all of our tools and authorities to 

root out these illegal practices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA is

automobiles (POA) as the single 

standard mileage rate established by the 

IRS. On June 9, 2022, the IRS 

announced a midyear mileage rate 

adjustment to reflect the rising cost of 

fuel. Therefore, in line with the IRS, 

GSA adjusted the POV mileage 

reimbursement rates starting July 1, 

2022 through the remainder of calendar 

year (CY) 2022. 

FTR Bulletin 22–06 establishes and 

announces the newly adjusted CY 2022 

POV mileage reimbursement rates for 

official temporary duty and relocation 

travel. This notice is the only

and approve an extension of a 

previously approved information 

collection requirement regarding OMB 

Control No. 3090–0308, Construction 

Contract Administration. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before: 

August 4, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for this information 

collection should be sent within 30 days 

of publication of this notice to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The information collected is used by 

PBS to evaluate a contractor’s proposals, 

negotiate contract modifications, 

evaluate a contractor’s progress, and 

review payment requests during 

contract administration. The clause was 

previously GSAR 552.236–78 Shop 

Drawings, Coordination Drawings, and 

Schedules. The clause is simplified, 

including removing the requirement for 

a specific number of prints and copies 

of various submittals. This 

simplification will ease the compliance 

burden for the contractor during 

contract administration from the current 

state. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Public reporting burden for GSAR 

552.236–72 Submittals is estimated to 

average .25 hours per response, 

including the time for reviewing 

instructions, searching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the 

data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

The annual reporting burden is 

estimated as follows: 

Respondents: 890. 

Responses per respondent: 5. 

Total annual responses: 4,452. 

Preparation hours per response: .25. 

Total response burden hours: 1,113.
