Abstract: The Alternative Fuels Rule ("Rule") requires disclosure of specific information on labels posted on fuel dispensers for non-liquid alternative fuels. To ensure the accuracy of these disclosures, the Rule also requires that sellers maintain records substantiating product-specific disclosures they include on these labels. The Commission seeks to extend for an additional three years the current OMB clearance for these information collection requirements of the Rule.
