The Secretary shall:
(1) Designate by regulation those consumer commodities in addition to the consumer commodities specifically enumerated in subsection 682(a) of this title as to which display of the unit price shall be required, upon a determination that such display will be in the best interests of consumers.
(2) Designate by regulation the unit of weight, measure, or count in terms of which the unit price of each consumer commodity shall be expressed, provided that no designated unit shall be such as to require persons subject to the provisions of subsection 682(a) of this title to measure any consumer commodity solely for the purpose of complying with subsection 682(a) of this title.
(3) Designate by regulation whether the unit price of each consumer commodity subject to the provisions of subsection 682(a) of this title shall be expressed to the nearest whole cent or to an appropriate fraction thereof.
(4) Exempt by regulation classes of retail establishments from any or all requirements of this chapter upon a determination that, because sales of consumer commodities regulated by this chapter are purely incidental to the business of such classes of retail establishments, compliance with this chapter is impracticable and unnecessary for adequate protection of consumers.
(5) Prescribe by regulation means for the disclosure of price information upon determination that they are more effective than those prescribed in section 683 of this title.
(6) Adopt any other rules necessary to effectuate the provisions of this chapter, in accordance with the best interests of consumers.
(7) Adopt rules addressing the method of price disclosure in the sale of home food service plans, including not only the price of the commodities sold but the service costs or membership fees associated with such a purchase. These rules shall take precedence over any uniform regulation adopted by the National Conference on Weights and Measures and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
