§13232 Labeling Requirements

Summary

Require the Federal Trade Commission to issue a proposed rule within 18 months after October 24, 1992 to set uniform labels for alternative fuels and vehicles that use them. The labels must give clear cost and benefit information so consumers can compare choices. Labels must be simple and, when possible, combined with other consumer labels. The Commission must consider how hard it is to make timely cost and benefit data, including lead time, costs, how often figures change, and similar issues. The Commission must get input from industry, consumer groups, Federal and State agencies, and others, and issue a final rule within 1 year after the proposed rule. The rule must be updated periodically with the latest information. The Secretary must give technical help to the Commission and coordinate with activities under section 13231.
