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

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.
