The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will receive Dyson Inc.’s comment on proposed changes to the Energy Labeling Rule at an oral hearing scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on September 19, 2024. The public can view the hearing via webcast on FTC.gov.
On February 2, 2024, the FTC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking outlining several amendments aimed at improving the Energy Labeling Rule. These amendments include new energy labels for air cleaners and other consumer product categories. In addition to written comments, the notice invited interested parties to request an opportunity to present oral data, views, and comments on the proposed amendments.
In response, 28 of the 29 commenters submitted written comments. Dyson was the only commenter to request an opportunity to present oral comments. Its remarks will address concerns regarding Department of Energy test procedures for the proposed air cleaner labels.
The Commission vote approving publication of the notice was unanimous at 5-0 and is now available in the Federal Register.
The lead staffer on this matter is Hong Park from the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.
