Title: Regulatory Pilot Projects 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1755.09, 

OMB Control No. 2010–0026. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. An Agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information, unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

are displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This is an information 

collection request renewal that will 

allow for the continued solicitation of 

proposals for innovative pilot projects 

and to allow EPA to continue its 

commitments to monitor the results of 

ongoing pilot tests of regulatory 

innovation. The renewal of this ICR is 

important as it will allow the Agency to 

continue to measure performance 

outcomes of regulatory innovation 

piloting and to assess the broader 

applicability of those pilot projects. The 

ICR is also necessary to allow EPA to 

identify State and Tribal co-regulators as 

well as other stakeholders who are 

interested in partnering with EPA in 

innovative pilot projects, allowing the 

Agency to continue its commitment to 

innovation and regulatory flexibility 

with facilities, communities, and states 

in achieving environmental results. The 

renewal of this ICR will allow the Office 

of Policy to continue to work with 

potential stakeholders on innovative 

approaches to achieve improved 

environmental results. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 5 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: States 

and regulated entities participating in 

EPA regulatory pilot projects. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

832. 

Frequency of Response: Quarterly, 

annually, on occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

4,680 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$258,694. This is exclusively for labor 

as there are no capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 3,068 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This reflects the 

reduced number of Project XL and State 

Innovation Grant projects reporting as 

those programs come to a close.

Title: EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Product 

Labeling (Renewal) 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2078.05, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0528. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. An Agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information, unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

and are displayed either by publication 

in the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: ENERGY STAR is a 

voluntary program developed in 

collaboration with industry to create a 

self-sustaining market for energy 

efficient products. The center piece of 

the program is the ENERGY STAR label, 

a registered certification label that helps 

consumers identify products that save 

energy, save money, and help protect 

the environment without sacrificing 

quality or performance. In order to 

protect the integrity of the label and 

enhance its effectiveness in the 

marketplace, EPA must ensure that 

products carrying the label meet 

appropriate program requirements. 

The ENERGY STAR program has 

determined it necessary to shift from a 

self-certification program to one in 

which we have an enhanced 

qualification and verification process 

with all testing being done in EPA 

recognized, accredited labs and partners 

participating in product specific 

certification programs. These changes 

are an effort to preserve the consumer 

confidence in the ENERGY STAR label 

and to protect the significant value it 

offers program partners. EPA believes 

that the new requirements will mean 

that leadership companies’ participation 

and the ENERGY STAR label will 

become even more meaningful in the 

market. Maintaining the value of this 

brand requires ensuring products 

labeled with the ENERGY STAR deliver 

on their promise to the consumer. 

Beginning in January 2011, 

manufacturers must obtain third party 

certification for new products labeled 

with the ENERGY STAR mark. As with 

previous program requirements, 

program participants submit signed 

Partnership Agreements indicating that 

they will adhere to logo-use guidelines 

and that participating products meet 

specified energy performance criteria 

based on a standard test method. 

As part of our contribution to the 

overall success of the program, EPA has 

agreed to facilitate the sale of qualifying 

products by providing consumers with 

easy-to-use information about the 

products. To be effective, EPA and its 

relevant recognized certification body 

must receive qualifying product 

information from participating 

manufacturers. Partners need to provide 

qualifying information prior to labeling 

so as to ensure that EPA information is 

recent and accurate. The information 

will be compiled by the certification 

body which will then provide EPA with 

the appropriate data so the product may 

be incorporated into a complete 

qualifying products list per product 

category, posted on the ENERGY STAR 

Web site, and supplied to those 

purchasers who request it via phone, 

fax, or e-mail. 

In order to monitor progress and 

support the best allocation of resources, 

EPA also asks manufacturers to submit 

annual shipment data for their ENERGY 

STAR qualifying products. EPA is 

flexible as to the methods by which 

manufacturers may submit unit 

shipment data. For example, if 

manufacturers already submit this type 

of information to a third party, such as 

a trade association, they are given the 

option of arranging for shipment data to 

be sent to EPA via this third party to 

avoid duplication of efforts and to 

ensure confidentiality. In using any 

shipment data received directly from a 

partner, EPA will mask the source of the 

data so as to protect confidentiality. 

Finally, Partners that wish to receive 

recognition for their efforts in ENERGY 

STAR may submit an application for the 

Partner of the Year Award. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 28 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Respondents for this information 

collection request include Partners in 

ENERGY STAR. Partners are product 

manufacturers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2050. 

Frequency of Response: Initially/onetime and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

65,338 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$4,344,125, that includes $32,543 in 

Operations and Maintenance Costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 31,750 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. There are several reasons for 

the change in reporting burden. EPA has 

changed the ENERGY STAR program 

from a self-certification program to an 

enhanced qualification process with all 

partners participating in product 

specific certification programs. Partners 

no longer report directly to EPA to 

qualify their models but instead work 

with third party certification bodies 

who will provide EPA, on a regular 

basis, with a list of certified models that 

EPA will post on our web site EPA
