Abstract
The Used Car Rule promotes informed purchasing decisions by requiring that used car dealers display a form called a “Buyers Guide” on each used car offered for sale that, among other things, discloses information about warranty coverage and other information to assist purchasers. The Rule has no recordkeeping or reporting requirements.
On December 5, 2025, the FTC sought comment on the information collection requirements associated with the Rule. 90 FR 56147. The Commission received three comments that support the renewal of the information collections.[]
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 above, see 90 FR 56147.
