The Rule tracks Section 102(a) of the Warranty Act, 4 specifying information that must appear in the written warranty and, for certain disclosures, mandates the exact language that must be used. 5 Neither the Warranty Rule nor the Act requires that a manufacturer or retailer warrant a consumer product in writing, but if they choose to do so, the warranty must comply with the Rule. 1 The other two rules relate to the pre-sale availability of warranty terms and minimum standards for informal dispute settlement mechanisms that are incorporated into a written warranty. 2 40 FR 60168 (Dec. 31, 1975). 3 The definition of *consumer product* excludes products purchased solely for commercial or industrial use. 16 CFR 701.1(b). 4 15 U.S.C. 2302(a). 5 40 FR 60168, 60169-60170. *Estimated Annual Hours Burden:* 209,048 hours. *Estimated Annual Labor Cost Burden:* $28,977,188. On December 17, 2025, the FTC sought comment on the information collection requirements associated with the Rule. 90 FR 58557. The FTC received three relevant comments, with each appearing to support the renewal of the information collections. 6 Pursuant to OMB regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.,* the FTC is providing this second opportunity for public comment while seeking OMB approval to renew the pre-existing clearance for the Rule. For more details about the Rule requirements and the basis for the calculations summarized below, see 90 FR 58557. 6 Comment ID FTC-2025-0924-0003 (Super-joule), received Dec. 18, 2025; Comment ID FTC-2025-0924-0002 (Aravna Clerveus), received Dec. 17, 2025; and Comment ID FTC-2025-0924-0004 (Aravna Clerveus), received Dec. 18, 2025; all are available at *https://www.regulations.gov/document/FTC-2025-0924-0001/comment.* Your comment—including your name and your state—will be placed on the public record of this proceeding. Because your comment will be made public, you are solely responsible for making sure that your comment does not include any sensitive personal information, such as anyone's Social Security number; date of birth; driver's license number or other state identification number, or foreign country equivalent; passport number; financial account number; or credit or debit card number. You are also solely responsible for making sure that your comment does not include any sensitive health information, such as medical records or other individually identifiable health information. In addition, your comment should not include any “trade secret or any commercial or financial information which . . . is privileged or confidential”—as provided by Section 6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR 4.10(a)(2)—including in particular competitively sensitive information such as costs, sales statistics, inventories, formulas, patterns, devices, manufacturing processes, or customer names.
