Changes Coming Nov. 29 Will Make EnergyGuide Labels ‘Easier to Use,’ Says FTC 

Amendments to the FTC’s energy-labeling rule will make yellow EnergyGuide labels “easier to use” when the changes take effect Black Friday, said a notice in Wednesday’s Federal Register. TVs fall under the scope of the rule, but virtually all changes apply to major appliances and lighting products. Amendments include format changes “to make it easier to identify the labeling requirements applicable to specific products,” it said. They also remove “obsolete references” to goods no longer in production, with “minor corrections” in the label to “eliminate unnecessary cross references,” it said.
