possess to perform high quality energy efficiency retrofit work for the given occupation or job level.

The Standard Work Specifications are organized by section, corresponding to the different systems found in residential buildings. Within each section are subtopics and details that contain the critical specification that must be achieved to ensure quality work. Throughout the Standard Work Specifications document are footnotes referring to the relevant Technical Standards, which are then summarized in Appendix D.

The Job Task Analyses and Essential Knowledge Skills and Abilities are made up of ‘‘Content Outlines’’ for the four common energy efficiency retrofit job classifications. They were developed by professional psychometricians working with experienced technicians from WAP, the residential energy efficiency retrofit contractor community, and organized labor. The Content Outlines provide a detailed inventory of the minimum knowledge, skills and abilities (both cognitive and psychomotor) that a worker should possess to perform high quality energy efficiency retrofit work.

Once finalized, the Workforce
Guidelines will:

1. Enable State and local WAP
officials and other residential retrofit program administrators to strengthen their field guides and other work manuals by incorporating the high quality SWSs contained in the
Workforce Guidelines.

2. Assist training providers in developing course content and curricula consistent with an industry-recognized suite of Job Task Analyses.

3. Increase workforce mobility up
career ladders and across career lattices by establishing a clear set of essential KSAs upon which worker credentials
should be based.

4. Build confidence among consumers and the energy efficiency finance community that retrofit work will be completed in a quality manner and produce the expected energy savings
and health benefits.

5. Lay the foundation for a more robust worker certification and training program accreditation architecture.

In coordination with the DOE-led effort, the EPA has developed a keystone document pertaining to health considerations in residential energy efficiency upgrades. These EPA Healthy Indoor Environment Protocols for Home Energy Upgrades and the DOE Workforce Guidelines were developed in conjunction with one another and are complementary. Both are intended to provide a set of voluntary measures that the WAP and other energy efficiency retrofit efforts can adopt to increase the quality of the retrofit work performed while maintaining or improving the health and safety of the occupant(s).

Together, the DOE and EPA documents will: provide a robust and practical set of resources for retrofit contractors, trainers, and program administrators; help improve the quality of the work performed in this expanding industry; promote occupant health and safety; and drive consumer demand for energy efficiency retrofit services. DOE encourages reviewers of the Workforce Guidelines with a specific interest in healthy indoor environments to also
review and comment on the EPA document, available at: http:// www.epa.gov/iaq/homes/retrofits.html.

Issues on Which DOE Seeks Comment

DOE is particularly interested in receiving comments and views of interested parties on the following

issues:

• The appropriateness of each of the Standard Work Specifications, both at the chapter level and at the individual
task level.

• The citations of technical standards
referenced in the Standard Work Specifications.

• The tasks, knowledge skills and abilities identified for the four (4) job descriptions.

Submission of Comments

DOE will accept comments, data, and information regarding the proposed guidelines no later than January 7, 2011. If submitting comments via the DOE Web page, please follow all instructions on the Web page: http:// www.weatherization.energy.gov/ retrofit

determination as to the confidential
status of the information and treat it according to its determination.

Factors of interest to DOE when evaluating requests to treat submitted
information as confidential include:

(1) A description of the items; (2) Whether and why such items are customarily treated as confidential within the industry;

(3) Whether the information is generally known by or available from other sources;

Abstract: The information collection includes initial reports and periodic recordkeeping necessary for EPA to ensure compliance with Federal standards for volatile organic compounds in consumer products. Respondents are manufacturers, distributors, and importers of consumer products. Responses to the collection are mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, subpart C, National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for
Consumer Products. All information
submitted to the EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, Confidentiality of Business

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 40 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;
