The Appliance Labeling Rule requires
manufacturers to disclose energy information about major household
appliances to enable consumers purchasing appliances to compare
energy (or water use) of competing models. The Rule's goal is to
help consumers conserve energy by enabling them to compare
competing products. The Federal Trade Commission has proposed and
has now made final amendments to this Rule to require EnergyGuide
labels on televisions to help consumers with their purchasing
decisions.
