Sec. 2309. Procedures applicable to promulgation of rules by
Commission
(a) Oral presentation
Any rule prescribed under this chapter shall be prescribed in
accordance with section 553 of title 5; except that the Commission shall
give interested persons an opportunity for oral presentations of data,
views, and arguments, in addition to written submissions. A transcript
shall be kept of any oral presentation. Any such rule shall be subject
to judicial review under section 57a(e) of this title in the same manner
as rules prescribed under section 57a(a)(1)(B) of this title, except
that section 57a(e)(3)(B) of this title shall not apply.
(b) Warranties and warranty practices involved in sale of used motor
vehicles
The Commission shall initiate within one year after January 4, 1975,
a rulemaking proceeding dealing with warranties and warranty practices
in connection with the sale of used motor vehicles; and, to the extent
necessary to supplement the protections offered the consumer by this
chapter, shall prescribe rules dealing with such warranties and
practices. In prescribing rules under this subsection, the Commission
may exercise any authority it may have under this chapter, or other law,
and in addition it may require disclosure that a used motor vehicle is
sold without any warranty and specify the form and content of such
disclosure.
