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'')

The Federal Trade Commission (``Commission'') issues final amendments to the Appliance Labeling Rule (``Rule'') to allow manufacturers of general service incandescent lamps (including incandescent reflector lamps) with a design voltage other than 120 volts an option as to where on product labels specific disclosures must be made, to clarify the light output measure that manufacturers of incandescent reflector lamps must disclose on lamp labels, to delete the requirement that the lumen disclosure for incandescent reflector lamps be followed by the term ``at beam spread,'' and to allow manufacturers of incandescent reflector lamps the option of adding a reference to ``beam spread'' to the Advisory Statement about saving energy costs.
