**1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION**  **COLLECTION 1(a)**  **Title and Number of the Information Collection** This I CR is entitled “Information Collection Activities Associated with EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Program in the Commercial and Industrial Sectors,” I CR Number 1772.05. **1(b) Short Characterization o**  **r Abstract** The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created ENERGY STAR as a voluntary program to help businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency . The program focuses on reducing utility

- generated emission s by reducing the demand for energy . In 1991, EPA launched the Green L ights Program to encourage corporations, State and local governments, colleges and universities, and other organizations to adopt energy

efficient lighting as a profitable means of prev enting pollution and improving lighting quality

. Since then, EPA has rolled Green L ights into ENERGY STAR and expanded ENERGY STAR to encompass organization

- wide energy performance improvement, such as building technology upgrades, product purchasing init iatives, and employee training. At the same time, EPA has streamlined the reporting requirements of ENERGY STAR and focused on providing incentives for improvements (e.g., ENERGY STAR Awards Program). EPA also makes tools and other resources available ov er the Web to help the public overcome the barriers to evaluating their energy performance and investing in profitable improvements. In addition, EPA is always looking for ways to simplify its information collections, such as by giving organizations the o ption of joining ENERGY STAR by completing an online partnership letter or agreement instead of using regular mail. For several reasons, there has been a dramatic increase in the public’s participation in ENERGY STAR over the past several years, and EPA e xpects their participation to rise even more in the coming years. President Obama has made energy efficiency

an important component of the Federal government’s approach to energy management. Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Congress and the president allocated approximately $20 billion to encourage Federal agencies, States, local governments and industry to design, improve and use energy efficient buildings and products. Inaddition, a growing number of State and local governments are leveraging ENERGY STAR as a way

for the public to respond to rising energy costs and global warming. Participation in ENERGY STAR has also risen dramatically because of the efforts of trade associations, utilities, and third

- party providers in pro moting the program to the public. These organizations voluntarily

communicate ENERGY STAR messages and promote the use of ENERGY STAR tools and strategies in an effort to help companies reduce their energy consumption and find more environmentally friendl y way s to conduct business.2

As a result of the efforts of Partners and others under the ENERGY STAR Program, there have been significant benefits to the public and environment. For example, EPA estimates that, in 2007, the energy

efficiency

efforts of co mmercial buildings helped to prevent 18 million metric tons (in MMTCE 1 ) of greenhouse gases and achieve a net savings of $5.4 billion. The efforts of industry

helped to prevent another 6.3 MMTCE of greenhouse gases and achieve a net savings of $2.1 billio n. 2 Buildings and plants that qualify for the ENERGY STAR, by achieving a score of 75 or higher on EPA’s energy performance rating system and meeting relevant requirements for indoor air quality , also illustrate these savings. Ty pically , ENERGY STAR buil dings use 35 percent less energy and emit 35 percent less greenhouse gases than average buildings. In 2008, more than 3,300 commercial buildings and plants earned the ENERGY STAR, accounting for savings of more than $1 billion in utility bills and over 7 MMTCE. This I CR examines the information collections under the ENERGY STAR Program in the commercial and industrial sectors. Sections 1 through 5 of this document describe the collections (e.g., from the standpoint of need and use/utility of the informat ion collected). The sections also describe respondent and Agency activities. In Section 6, EPA estimates the total annual hour and cost burden to respondents and the Agency under the collections. **ENERGY STAR IN THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SECTORS** The ENERGY STAR Program consists of the following participant groups:

$ Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Sector Partners. This participant group includes businesses and other organizations in such fields as commercial and corporate real estate, education, ente rtainment, government, healthcare and senior care facilities, hospitality , manufacturing and industry , multifamily housing, retail, wastewater and drinking water treatment, and associations. Partners make a commitment to achieving energy

efficiency

in the ir buildings.

$ Service and Product Provider (SPP) Partners. This participant group includes companies that provide energy efficiency

services and/or products in the commercial and industrial markets. Ty pes of companies eligible include architecture, distributor, energy consultant/energy

management services, energy improvement contractor, energy information services, energy services company (ESCO), engineering, equipment manufacturer, financial services, on

- site energy production services, unregulated energy retailer and marketer, or other supplier of standard energy

- efficient products and/or services for commercial buildings and/or industrial manufacturing facilities/plants in the United States.

1 Million metric tons of carbon equivalent (MMTCE). Reductions in annual greenhouse gas emissions for EPA’s climate programs are based on “carbon equivalents,” which are determined by weighting the reductions in emissions of a gas by its global warming potential for a 100

- year time period. 2 For additional information on accomplishments under the ENERGY STAR Program, refer to the document, “ENERGY STAR and Other Climate Protection Partnerships 2007 Annual Report.” It can be found at: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=about.ab_index

$ Energy

Efficiency

Program Sponsor (EEPS) Partners. This p articipant group includes regulated utilities, publicly owned utilities, and energy delivery companies; national, regional, State, or local government entities; and other organizations involved in coordinating and/or administering energy

- efficiency or envi ronmental education programs that promote ENERGY STAR, including ENERGY STAR L abeled commercial and industrial buildings. Inaddition, Partners, State and local government entities, associations, and any other interested party

can help EPA promote energy efficiency . For example, Partners and other interested parties can benchmark individual buildings by using EPA’s on

- line benchmarking tool, Portfolio Manager, and apply for the ENERGY STAR. I f they can demonstrate and verify that an individual building m eets the criteria for qualifying for the ENERGY STAR, they will receive an ENERGY STAR plaque that they can display

on the building. Under the ENERGY STAR Challenge, EPA also works with businesses, governments, associations and non

- profit organizations to encourage their members and/or constituents to leverage the ENERGY STAR platform to improve the energy efficiency

of their buildings by

10 percent or more. Small businesses and congregations can also sign up to work with ENERGY STAR. The following par agraphs describe the information collections applicable to these groups. **JOINING THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES**  Organizations interested in joining ENERGY STAR may be asked to submit a L etter or Agreement describing their commitment to promoting energy efficiency . They

also may be asked or encouraged to undertake related activities, as described below. **Commercial and Industrial Sector Partners** Inorder to join ENERGY STAR , organizations in the commercial and industrial sectors are asked to complete and submit a Partnership L etter to EPA. These Partners agree to measure and track the energy

performance of their organization’s facilities where possible by using tools such as those offered through ENERGY STAR; develop and implement a plan consistent with the ENERGY STAR Energy Management Guidelines to achieve energy savings; help spread the word about the importance of energy efficiency

to their staff and community ; support the ENERGY STAR Challenge, a national call

- to
- action to help improv e the energy efficiency

of America’s buildings by

10 percent or more; and highlight their achievements with recognition offered through ENERGY STAR.4

**Service and Product Providers** Eligible organizations must meet certain requirements before apply ing to become an ENERGY STAR SPP Partner. Applicants must demonstrate that they have actively

used the ENERGY STAR approach to help clients achieve their energy management goals as specified. For example, SPPs serving the existing commercial buildings market mu st benchmark at least 10 client commercial buildings in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and/or earn the ENERGY STAR L abel for at least one client commercial building in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and meet other program requirements. SPPs interested in joining ENERGY STAR complete and submit a Partnership Agreement and Commitment Form to EPA. The Partnership Agreement lays out partner commitments, disclaimers, procedures for dispute resolution, and other issues. The Commitment Form indicates the ENERGY STAR program area(s) for which program requirements will be fulfilled by

the applicant. SPPs also are asked to complete a Service and Product Provider Partnership Application Data Form as part of the partnership application proc ess. On an annual basis, they will be asked to update contact information (i.e. contact name, phone, email) displayed on select Service and Product Provider listings on the Web site and to maintain quality of contact mailing lists. Once the organization has been admitted into the SPP program, it is expected to maintain a minimum level of activity to continue to be recognized in online listings. For example, e xisting commercial buildings SPP Partners must maintain at least 10 buildings benchmarked in the most recent 12

- month period or serve as the primary SPP in helping at least one customer commercial building to earn the ENERGY STAR in the most recent 12 month period. Inaddition, the SPP Partner will work with ENERGY STAR to improve the energy perf ormance of customer commercial building portfolios, promote energy efficiency

in commercial building design, and assist industrial manufacturing customers in adopting a continuous improvement strategy for corporate

- wide energy management. In delivering it s services and/or products, when appropriate, the SPP will use ENERGY STAR tools and messages to help improve customer energy performance as specified. **Energy Efficiency Program Sponsors** EEPS interested in joining ENERGY STAR are asked to complete and submit a Partnership Agreement. They commit to promote and use ENERGY STAR in a manner consistent with the national ENERGY STAR efforts and specifically agree to follow all applicable terms and conditions governing the use of the ENERGY STAR logos, which are registered trade and service marks. They also commit to submit and periodically update a brief plan outlining the key

activities they

intend to undertake to cooperatively promote ENERGY STAR in the commercial and/or industrial markets. They will be asked on an annual basis to5

update organization and contact information displayed on the ENERGY STAR Web site and the Directory of Energy

Efficiency

Programs (DEEP). If promoting ENERGY STAR in the commercial market, the EEPS agree to collaborate with ENERGY STAR to improve the energy performance of their customers’ buildings and portfolios. I f promoting ENERGY STAR in the industrial market, the EEPS agree to collaborate with ENERGY STAR to assist industry in adopting a continuous improvement strategy f or corporate
- wide energy

management. **Small Business and Congregations Network** A small business or congregation may join the Network of small businesses and congregations working with ENERGY STAR. To join, they would provide requested information at EPA ’s ENERGY STAR Web site. They would pledge to buy

ENERGY STAR equipment and upgrade the energy efficiency

of their facilities whenever financially viable. As part of the Network, they may use the ENERGY STAR promotional mark in accordance with the ENERGY STAR identity guidelines. **ENERGY STAR Challenge** The ENERGY STAR Challenge is a national call

- to
- action to improve the energy efficiency of America’s commercial and industrial buildings by 10 percent or more. Under the Challenge, EPA works with business es, governments, associations, and non

- profit organizations to encourage their stakeholders, members and/or constituents to leverage the ENERGY STAR platform to improve the energy efficiency

of their buildings, and to promote energy efficiency

to the broad er public. An organization may

choose to participate in the Challenge and work with its members/constituents by

submitting an on

- line sign

- up form. EPA then sends it an email to provide it with resource materials to assist in its promotional efforts. A fter receiving the email, Challenge participants can provide to EPA a summary of activities they

plan to implement to promote the Challenge and educate their members/constituents to post on the Challenge Web page. Participants can update their “Challenge Story” as progress towards the 10 percent energy reduction goal is made. **BENCHMARKING** Assessing energy

use is a critical component of the ENERGY STAR Program and guidance provided by

EPA to partners. EPA provides tools to track, measure and compare en ergy use for a range of building ty pes and facilities. Portfolio Manager is the primary tool for undertaking these activities and is available on

- line, although for specific industry ty pes, spreadsheet calculators may be provided.6

**Portfolio Manager** Portfolio Manager is an interactive energy management tool that allows users to track and assess energy

and water consumption across their entire portfolio of facilities in a secure online environment. Users enter energy consumption and cost data into their Portfolio Manager account to benchmark facility

energy performance, assess energy management goals over time and identify strategic opportunities for savings and recognition opportunities. A “benchmark” is defined as a measurement of a facility ’s energy p erformance resulting from entering facility information and at least 11 consecutive months of facility energy data into EPA’s Portfolio Manager. Portfolio Manager offers two ty pes of benchmarks: a 1

- 100 Energy Performance Rating for select commercial faci lity ty pes and an Energy

Use Intensity

(EUI) index for all commercial facility

ty pes. The rating system accounts for the impacts of year - to
- ye ar weather variations, as well as facility size, location, and several operating characteristics. Portfolio Man ager helps the user update and track data over time to continuously monitor performance. The user can use both short and long term trends in energy performance to make budget and management decisions regarding investments in energy

- related projects. Ina ddition, EPA intends to collect information from Portfolio Manager users on its usability as a Web

- based tool and on the effectiveness of Portfolio Manager guidance. Based on this information, EPA will identify and make needed improvements. **ENERGY STAR E nergy Performance Indicator and Related Systems**  EPA gives industrial companies the opportunity to measure the energy

efficiency

of their plants. To measure efficiency and improve energy

use in the company , a company enters basic information about its pl ant (e.g., energy consumption data) into a tool that can be downloaded from EPA’s Web site called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI). The EPIproduces a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- efficient plants in the industry

and to the previous performance for the plant. Inaddition, EPA encourages industrial companies not otherwise eligible to use the EPI to track and improve their energy performance. EPA has established a program, ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry , which encourages such companies to track their energy performance using alternative systems, such as in

- house tracking sy stems, Portfolio Manager, or a spread sheet

- based tracking tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site cal led the ENERGY STAR Energy

Tracking Tool (ETT). These companies would enter basic information into the sy stem to track their performance.7

**Data Collection for Model Development and Beta Testing** EPA expects to increase the number of facility ty pes that can receive the 1

- 100 energy performance rating in Portfolio Manager and therefore are eligible for earning the ENERGY STAR as well as for participating in ENERGY STAR L eaders. EPA may collect information from participating organizations to build an histori cal account of energy use for new or revised facility ty pe analysis. EPA may

ask for information about energy use, facility

characteristics, and other parameters that will help to add or revise facility ty pes. EPA also may

collect information to test the model to ensure that it produces relevant results. **RECOGNITION ENERGY STAR Labeling**  Buildings ENERGY STAR offers the public an opportunity to display

the ENERGY STAR on their buildings if they

meet certain energy

performance criteria defined by EPA. The on

- line application for the ENERGY STAR is submitted through EPA’s benchmarking tool, Portfolio Manager. Eligible buildings with benchmark scores of 75 or higher may submit information to EPA to apply

for the ENERGY STAR. The on

- line application cons ists of a Statement of Energy Performance (SEP), Data Checklist, and L etter of Agreement (LOA). To be approved to receive the ENERGY STAR, buildings must meet specific eligibility requirements as well as industry standards for comfort and indoor air quali ty . A Professional Engineer must verify the SEP (stamped/embossed and signed) that these requirements have been met and complete a Data Checklist. EPA asks that profiles of L abeled Buildings be submitted, which can be posted at the EPA Web site to educ ate the public and promote their achievements. Inaddition, EPA intends to visit a number of ENERGY STAR L abeled Buildings for quality control purposes. EPA may confirm, for example, the accuracy of the information provided in the application for the ENE RGY STAR, and may request facility

documentation during the visit. EPA also expects to periodically contact representatives of buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR to collect information about the characteristics of buildings that lead to top energy performance. This includes information on the buildings’ construction, equipment used in the buildings, building management, and involvement in ENERGY STAR . EPA will use this information to better understand the specific design, construction, and operating characteristics of ENERGY STAR L abeled Buildings and how these characteristics contributed to the buildings’ top energy

performance. In addition, EPA intends to collect information about the qualification process to measure how easy it is for organizations to use. EPA needs this information to identify and make needed improvements to the qualification process.8

Plants In dustrial companies have an opportunity to earn the ENERGY STAR for specific ty pes of plants that meet EPA’s energy efficiency

criteri a. I f the plant’s EPI score is in the top quartile, the company

may apply to EPA for the ENERGY STAR by printing out a Statement of Energy Performance. A Professional Engineer (PE) in the company provides a certification/stamp, and the certified document and a letter are sent to EPA. I f the submittal contains confidential business information (CBI), the company also sends a copy

to EPA’s contractor to verify energy performance results. I f approved by EPA, the plant receives the ENERGY STAR. EPA also as ks these companies to submit profiles of their L abeled Plants that describe how they improved their energy

performance and obtained recognition. **ENERGY STAR Leaders** As part of the Partnership L etter, organizations commit to continuous improvement. To track Partners’ progress against their goal, EPA provides organizations recognition incentives to meet specific targets. This follows the Partnership L etter and includes that they track and benchmark all of the eligible buildings in their portfolio, and n otify EPA of this accomplishment by submitting the following qualification documents: L etter of Qualification, Facility Summary Report, Facility

L ist, and L eaders Story . Organizations also respond to EPA questions to determine if they

are eligible to beco me a Leader. This information may be entered into the tool or provided to EPA directly (e.g., over the phone or by email). EPA will review this information and recognize these participants as ENERGY STAR L eaders if they qualify

. EPA does not mandate r eporting but rather requests that Partners who reach targets inform EPA by

submitting the qualification documents when they have met energy improvements in 10 percent increments across their portfolio. **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry and Other Plant Activities**  In dustrial plants not eligible to use the EPI may seek recognition for their energy intensity reductions. EPA has established a program, the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry , which encourages such companies to pledge to reduce the energy intensity of their sites by

10 percent and track their progress towards this goal using alternative systems (e.g., in

- house tracking sy stems, Portfolio Manager). Sites that achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity within five years of their baseli ne have the opportunity to apply for recognition from EPA. The company may apply to EPA for recognition by printing out a Statement of Energy Improvement. A Professional Engineer (PE) in the company provides a certification/stamp, and the certified docume nt and a letter are sent to EPA. I f approved by EPA, the site receives recognition (e.g., a certificate and right to produce a small trophy ).9

Inaddition, EPA may

ask companies to submit a brief description of their corporate goals, which the Agency

p osts at its Web site to educate the public and promote their achievements. **Statement of Energy Design Intent** Architecture firms can display the “Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR” graphic to distinguish their projects as among the nation’s best in energy performance. To apply

for the graphic, the Architect of Record (AOR) must be an ENERGY STAR Partner. The AOR would enter basic information into an EPA software tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site called Target Finder to obtain an EPA energy performance rating for the design project. It would then print the Statement of Energy Design Intent (SEDI) from Target Finder. The statement must be sealed (stamped) and signed by a licensed architect or engineer designated by the AOR. The AOR also must complete an Application L etter. As part of the L etter, the AOR agrees to collaborate with EPA on a case study about the project’s design energy use strategies and goals, to be posted on the ENERGY STAR Web site. The AOR would submit the SE DIand Application L etter to EPA. EPA would send the AOR the graphic, which can be displayed in the title block of project drawings and on other project documents. **ENERGY STAR Awards** Organizations interested in receiving recognition for their efforts in improving their energy performance may

apply for an ENERGY STAR Award. EPA currently issues awards to Commercial and Industrial Sector Partners, Service and Product Providers, and Energy Efficiency

Program Sponsors. In addition, small businesses and c ongregations may apply to receive an award as part of their recognition efforts.10

**2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION**  **2(a) Need and Authority for the Collection**  ENERGY STAR is authorized under section 103(g) of the Clean Air Act. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 further provides authorization to EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a voluntary program to identify

and promote energy

- efficient products and buildings in order to reduce energy consumption, improve energy security , and reduc e pollution through voluntary

labeling of, or other forms of communication about, products and buildings that meet the highest energy conservation standards. ENERGY STAR is a voluntary program aimed at preventing pollution rather than controlling it after its creation. The program focuses on reducing utility

- generated emissions by reducing the demand for energy

. Attesting to the importance of ENERGY STAR, a growing number of State and local governments have enacted legislation, policies and programs to p romote the use of ENERGY STAR in commercial and government buildings. For example, the State of California requires electric and gas utilities to maintain and make available to building owners the energy consumption data of all nonresidential buildings in a format compatible for uploading to EPA’s Portfolio Manager. It also requires that a nonresidential building owner or operator disclose Portfolio Manager benchmarking data and ratings to a prospective buyer as part of a whole

building transaction. In ad dition, the States of Hawaii, Michigan, New Jersey , Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin have established requirements and incentives for commercial and/or government buildings to benchmark their energy use in Portfolio Manager. For additional in formation on State and local government actions, refer to following Web site: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/business/government/State_L ocal_Govts_L everaging _ES.pdf

. **JOINING THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES Partnership Letter or Agreement/Related Activities**  EPA needs to collect initial information from organizations to formally establish their Partnership in the ENERGY STAR Program. The Partnership L etter is submitted by organizations in the C&I

Sector that commit to adopting an energy strategy and making energy reductions to protect the environment. The Partnership L etter provides EPA with basic yet necessary information on the organization s (e.g., contact information). To be eligible to become an SPP Partner, an organization must meet certain requirements as specified. For example, SPPs serving the existing commercial buildings market must benchmark at least 10 buildings for client commercial buildings in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and/or earn the ENERGY STAR L abel for at least one client commercial building in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and meet other program requirements. These eligibility

requireme nts serve as minimum qualification standards so that EPA partners11

with and promotes only

those organizations well

- versed in ENERGY STAR resources and truly committed to ENERGY STAR principles and strategies. SPPs and EEPS submit a Partnership Agreement to join ENERGY STAR. The Partnership Agreement provides basic yet necessary information on the organizations, and it holds organizations accountable for using the ENERGY STAR L ogo in accordance with applicable ENERGY STAR requirements. Through the Partners hip Agreement, SPPs and EEPS also commit to undertaking specified information collection activities. SPPs also are asked to complete a Service and Product Provider Partnership Application Data Form as part of the partnership application process. This in formation helps EPA to determine whether an applicant meets requirements for partnership and allows EPA to maintain a directory of the most active SPP Partners. These SPP Partners are expected to maintain a minimum level of activity to continue to be reco gnized in online listings. EEPS submit a brief plan outlining key activities that they

plan to undertake to cooperatively

promote ENERGY STAR in the commercial and/or industrial markets so that EPA can ensure that these activities align with ENERGY STAR ’s goals and purposes. EPA needs annual updates to ensure that its Web site and Directory of Energy

Efficiency

Programs provides the public with up

- to
- date information. The EEPS will collaborate with ENERGY STAR to help their customers and industry measure and improve the energy performance of their buildings and portfolios. **Small Business and Congregations Network** EPA needs to collect information from small businesses and congregations to be able to send “Welcome Aboard” materials and provide them with monthly educational email updates. **ENERGY STAR Challenge** The ENERGY STAR Challenge is a national call

- to
- action to improve the energy efficiency of America’s commercial and industrial buildings by 10 percent or more. Under the Challenge, EPA works with businesses, governments, associations and non

- profit organizations to encourage their members and/or constituents to leverage the ENERGY STAR platform to improve the energy

efficiency

of their buildings. Information provided through on

- line sign

- ups is needed to confirm their participation and enable EPA to provide resource materials to assist in their promotional efforts. In addition, the information submitted by Challenge participants (e.g., Challenge Stories) will provide EPA with an idea of the ty pe s of activities that are being undertaken in response to the Challenge national call

- to
- action.12

**BENCHMARKING Portfolio Manager**  Any organization may

use Portfolio Manager to evaluate its building’s energy performance. Portfolio Manager is an interacti ve energy management tool that allows users to track and assess energy

and water consumption across their entire portfolio of facilities in a secure online environment. Users enter energy consumption and cost data into their Portfolio Manager account to b enchmark facility energy performance, assess energy management goals over time and identify

strategic opportunities for savings and recognition opportunities. This information is needed to assist users in improving their energy performance. Inaddition, EPA intends to collect information from Portfolio Manager users on its usability as a Web

- based tool and on the effectiveness of guidance. This information is needed for EPA to make needed improvements to the tool and guidance. **ENERGY STAR Energy Perform ance Indicator and Related Systems**  EPA gives industrial companies the opportunity to measure the energy

efficiency

of their plants. To measure efficiency and improve energy

use in the company , a company enters basic information about its plant (e.g., en ergy consumption data) into a tool that can be downloaded from EPA’s Web site called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI). The EPIproduces a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- efficient plants in the ind ustry and to the previous performance for the plant. In addition, EPA encourages industrial companies not otherwise eligible to use the EPI to track and improve their energy performance. EPA has established a program, ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry , which encourages such companies to track their energy performance using alternative systems, such as in

- house tracking sy stems, Portfolio Manager, or a spread sheet

- based tracking tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site called the ENERGY STAR Energy Tracking Tool (ETT). Information is entered into these tools to enable industrial plants to analy ze and improve their energy

performance. **Data Collection for Model Development and Beta Testing** EPA needs to collect information in the developm ent of new facility ty pes in Portfolio Manager. EPA will collect information from participating organizations in order to build an historical account of energy use for new or revised facility ty pe analysis. EPA may

ask for information about energy use, b uilding characteristics, and other parameters that will help to add or revise facility

ty pes. To beta test the accuracy of the analysis, EPA will collect information from participating organizations to test the model to ensure it produces relevant results

**RECOGNITION ENERGY STAR Labeling**  Buildings ENERGY STAR offers the public an opportunity to display

the ENERGY STAR on their buildings if they

meet certain energy

performance criteria defined by EPA. The on

- line application for the ENERGY STAR is su bmitted through EPA’s benchmarking tool, Portfolio Manager. Eligible buildings with benchmark scores of 75 or higher may submit information to EPA to apply

for the ENERGY STAR. The on

- line application consists of a Statement of Energy Performance (SEP), Data Checklist, and L etter of Agreement (LOA). To be approved to receive the ENERGY STAR, buildings must meet specific eligibility requirements as well as industry standards for comfort and indoor air quality . A Professional Engineer must verify the SEP (stamped/embossed and signed) that these requirements have been met and complete a Data Checklist. These materials are necessary to demonstrate to EPA that energy

- efficiency improvements have been achieved. EPA asks that profiles of L abeled Buildings b e submitted, which can be posted at the EPA Web site to educate the public and promote their achievements. Inaddition, EPA intends to visit a number of ENERGY STAR L abeled Buildings for quality control purposes. EPA may confirm, for example, the accurac y of the information provided in the application for the ENERGY STAR, and may request facility

documentation during the visit. This information is needed to help EPA maintain quality control on the buildings that qualify

for the ENERGY STAR. EPA also exp ects to periodically contact representatives of buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR to collect information about the characteristics of buildings that lead to top energy performance. This includes information on the buildings’ construction, equipme nt used in the buildings, building management, and involvement in ENERGY STAR . EPA will use this information to better understand the specific design, construction, and operating characteristics of ENERGY STAR L abeled Buildings and how these characteristi cs contributed to the buildings’ top energy

performance. In addition, EPA intends to collect information about the qualification process to measure how easy it is for organizations to use. EPA needs this information to identify and make needed improvements to the qualification process. Plants In dustrial companies have an opportunity to earn the ENERGY STAR for specific ty pes of plants that meet EPA’s energy efficiency

criteria. I f the plant’s EPI score is in the top quartile, the company

may apply to E PA for the ENERGY STAR by printing out a Statement of Energy Performance. A Professional Engineer (PE) in the company provides a certification/stamp, and the certified document and a letter are sent to EPA. I f the submittal contains confidential14

business information (CBI), the company also sends a copy

to EPA’s contractor to verify energy performance results. EPA needs this information to evaluate whether the plant should receive recognition. I f approved by EPA, the plant receives the ENERGY STAR. This recognition is needed to encourage industrial companies to improve their plants’ energy performance. **ENERGY STAR Leaders** As part of the Partnership L etter, organizations commit to continuous improvement. To track Partners’ progress against their goal, EPA provides organizations recognition incentives to meet specific targets. This follows the Partnership L etter and includes that they track and benchmark all of the eligible buildings in their portfolio, and notify EPA of this accomplishment by submitti ng the following qualification documents: L etter of Qualification, Facility Summary Report, Facility

L ist, and L eaders Story . Organizations also respond to EPA questions to determine if they

are eligible to become a Leader. This information may be entere d into the tool or provided to EPA directly (e.g., over the phone or by email). EPA will review this information and recognize these participants as ENERGY STAR L eaders if they qualify . This recognition is needed to encourage further energy performance i mprovements. **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry and Other Plant Activities** In dustrial plants not eligible to use the EPI may seek recognition for their energy intensity reductions. EPA has established a program, the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry , which encourages such companies to pledge to reduce the energy intensity of their sites by

10 percent and track their progress towards this goal using alternative systems (e.g., in

- house tracking sy stems, Portfolio Manager). Sites that achieve a 10 perce nt reduction in energy intensity within five years of their baseline have the opportunity to apply for recognition from EPA. The company may apply to EPA for recognition by printing out a Statement of Energy Improvement. A Professional Engineer (PE) in th e company provides a certification/stamp, and the certified document and a letter are sent to EPA. EPA needs this information to evaluate whether the plant should receive recognition. In addition, EPA may ask companies to submit a brief description of th eir corporate goals, which the Agency posts at its Web site to educate the public. Recognition is needed to encourage industrial plants to reduce their energy usage. **Statement of Energy Design Intent** Organizations may

submit the Statement of Energy Desi gn Intent to EPA to earn recognition. EPA needs the SEDI to confirm the energy

performance of their design and recognize these organizations on the EPA Web site. In addition, these organizations can display the graphic, “Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR, ” on architectural plans and other specified documents. This recognition promotes the image of these organizations as leaders in the design of energy efficient buildings. Information on the Web site is needed to educate architecture/engineering firms and the general public on best practices for designing energy efficient buildings.15

**ENERGY STAR Awards** Organizations apply

for ENERGY STAR Awards to gain public recognition for exemplary

energy performance. In this regard, the awards program is needed to provide an incentive for organizations to seek greater energy performance improvements. **2(b) Practical Utility and Users of the Data**  **JOINING THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES Partnership Letter or Agreement/Related Activities**  EPA uses information submitted in the Partnership L etter or Agreement to officially establish an organization’s participation in ENERGY STAR . Organizations’ data from the L etter or Agreement are entered into the iSTAR database to serve as a source of general information and as a mailing list. EPA uses the information submitted by Partners for a variety

of program implementation purposes. For example, EPA uses information in the Service and Product Provider Partnership Application Data Form to develop and maintain the Mo st Active Service and Product Providers Directory . EPA uses the brief plan collected from the EEPS to ensure that their activities and materials align with the goals and purposes of ENERGY STAR . EPA uses annual updates from EEPS to ensure that its Web si te provides the public with up

- to
- date information. **Small Business and Congregations Network** EPA uses the information provided by small businesses and congregations to send them useful information (e.g., their email address enables EPA to send monthly ENERGY STAR E

updates). **ENERGY STAR Challenge** The ENERGY STAR Challenge is a national call

- to
- action to improve the energy efficiency of America’s commercial and industrial buildings by 10 percent or more. Under the Challenge, EPA works with businesses, governments, associations and non

- profit organizations to encourage their members and/or constituents to leverage the ENERGY STAR platform to improve the energy

efficiency

of their buildings. EPA uses the information from participants to confirm their participation and enable EPA to provide resource materials to assist in their promotional efforts. In addition, EPA uses the information submitted by participants (e.g., Challenge Stories) to get an idea of the ty pes of activities that are being undertaken in response to the Challenge call to action, and to use as case study ideas to share with the public.16

**BENCHMARKING Portfolio Manager**  Any organization may

use Portfolio Manager to evaluate its building’s energy performance. Portfolio Manager is an int eractive energy management tool that allows users to track and assess energy

and water consumption across their entire portfolio of facilities in a secure online environment. Users enter energy consumption and cost data into their Portfolio Manager account to benchmark facility energy performance, assess energy management goals over time and identify

strategic opportunities for savings and recognition opportunities. This information helps users in improving their energy performance. Inaddition, EPA inte nds to collect information from Portfolio Manager users on its usability as a Web

- based tool and on the effectiveness of guidance. This information is used by EPA to make needed improvements to the tool and guidance. **ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indic ator and Related Systems**  EPA gives industrial companies the opportunity to measure the energy

efficiency

of their plants. To measure efficiency and improve energy

use in the company , a company enters basic information about its plant (e.g., energy consumption data) into a tool that can be downloaded from EPA’s Web site called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI). The EPIproduces a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- efficient plants in the industry

and to the previous performance for the plant. In addition, EPA encourages industrial companies not otherwise eligible to use the EPI to track and improve their energy performance. EPA has established a program, ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry , which enco urages such companies to track their energy performance using alternative systems, such as in

- house tracking sy stems, Portfolio Manager, or a spread sheet

- based tracking tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site called the ENERGY STAR Energy Tracking Tool (ETT). Industrial plants use the information entered into these tools to analy ze and improve their energy

performance. **Data Collection for Model Development and Beta Testing** EPA will use the information gathered during the data collectio n to build a database of information for benchmarking of a specific facility

- use ty pe. The information will be used in developing and expanding the Portfolio Manager tool for facility ty pes and conducting beta testing of the models.17

**RECOGNITION ENERGY S**  **TAR Labeling** Buildings ENERGY STAR offers the public an opportunity to display

the ENERGY STAR on their buildings if they

meet certain energy

performance criteria defined by EPA. The on

- line application for the ENERGY STAR is submitted through EPA’s ben chmarking tool, Portfolio Manager. Eligible buildings with benchmark scores of 75 or higher may submit information to EPA to apply

for the ENERGY STAR. The on

- line application consists of a Statement of Energy Performance (SEP), Data Checklist, and L ette r of Agreement (LOA). To be approved to receive the ENERGY STAR, buildings must meet specific eligibility requirements as well as industry standards for comfort and indoor air quality . A Professional Engineer must verify the SEP (stamped/embossed and signed) that these requirements have been met and complete a Data Checklist. The applicant uses this information to demonstrate to EPA that energy

- efficiency improvements have been achieved. EPA asks that profiles of L abeled Buildings be submitted, which c an be posted at the EPA Web site to educate the public and promote their achievements. Inaddition, EPA may

need to collect information from ENERGY STAR L abeled Buildings as part of the on

- site verification process. This information is used to help EPA v erify the energy

performance of ENERGY STAR Labeled Buildings and maintain quality control on them. EPA also expects to periodically contact representatives of buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR to collect information about the characteristics of buildings that lead to top energy performance. This includes information on the buildings’ construction, equipment used in the buildings, building management, and involvement in ENERGY STAR . EPA will use this information to better understand the specific design, construction, and operating characteristics of ENERGY STAR L abeled Buildings and how these characteristics contributed to the buildings’ top energy

performance. In addition, EPA intends to collect information about the qualification process to me asure how easy it is for organizations to use. EPA will use this information to identify and make improvements to the process that buildings use to qualify for the ENERGY STAR. Plants In dustrial companies have an opportunity to earn the ENERGY STAR for specific ty pes of plants that meet EPA’s energy efficiency

criteria. I f the plant’s EPI score is in the top quartile, the company

may apply to EPA for the ENERGY STAR by printing out a Statement of Energy Performance. A Professional Engineer (PE) in the company provides a certification/stamp, and the certified document and a letter are sent to EPA. I f the submittal contains confidential18

business information (CBI), the company also sends a copy

to EPA’s contractor to verify energy performance results. I f approved by EPA, the plant receives the ENERGY STAR. EPA recognition enhances the image of the organization as a national leader in energy performance. **ENERGY STAR Leaders** As part of the Partnership L etter, organizations commit to continuous improvement. To track Partners’ progress against their goal, EPA provides organizations recognition incentives to meet specific targets. This follows the Partnership L etter and includes that they track and benchmark all of the eligible buildings in their portfolio , and notify EPA of this accomplishment by submitting the following qualification documents: L etter of Qualification, Facility Summary Report, Facility

L ist, and L eaders Story . Organizations also respond to EPA questions to determine if they

are eligible to become a Leader. This information may be entered into the tool or provided to EPA directly (e.g., over the phone or by email). The purpose of this information is to allow the Agency

to track and evaluate Partner progress in improving its energy perfor mance and to recognize Partner accomplishments. **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry and Other Plant Activities** In dustrial plants not eligible to use the EPI may seek recognition for their energy intensity reductions. EPA has established a program, the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry , which encourages such companies to pledge to reduce the energy intensity of their sites by

10 percent and track their progress towards this goal using alternative systems (e.g., in

- house tracking sy stems, Portfolio Manag er). Sites that achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity within five years of their baseline have the opportunity to apply for recognition from EPA. The company may apply to EPA for recognition by printing out a Statement of Energy Improvement. A Professional Engineer (PE) in the company provides a certification/stamp, and the certified document and a letter are sent to EPA. EPA uses this information to evaluate whether the plant should receive recognition. In addition, EPA may ask companies t o submit a brief description of their corporate goals, which the Agency posts at its Web site to educate the public. **Statement of Energy Design Intent** Organizations may

submit the Statement of Energy Design Intent to EPA to earn recognition. EPA uses the SEDIto confirm the energy performance of their design and recognize these organizations on the EPA Web site. This recognition can enhance their image by demonstrating their commitment to helping building owners make better decisions about energy perf ormance in their new commercial construction projects. Information at the Web site also can assist interested parties to learn best practices for designing energy efficient buildings.19

**ENERGY STAR Awards** Organizations apply

for ENERGY STAR Awards to gain public recognition for exemplary

energy performance. In this regard, EPA holds the awards program to provide an incentive for organizations to seek greater energy performance improvements.20

**3. NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION**  **CRITERIA 3(a)**  **Nonduplication** The information collected under this I CR is not collected by any other EPA office or by any other Federal agency . Therefore, there is not a potential for duplication with other Federal collections. **3(b) Public Notice Required Prior t**  **o ICR Submission to OMB** Incompliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, EPA solicited public comments on this I CR through an announcement in the Federal Register on August 11, 2009 (74 FR 40183). No comments were received. **3(c) Consultations**  In preparing this I CR, EPA did not conduct industry or State consultations. Because EPA works closely

with ENERGY STAR participants, the Agency already has a good idea of the time needed to carry

out its information collections. Therefore, EPA relied on the expertise of Agency staff in developing the I CR’s hour and cost assumptions. In addition, the Agency accessed its current databases (e.g., iStar) and documentation to estimate the number of respondents and activities. The Agency ’s data sources are kept up - to
- date based on participant submittals (e.g., submittals of Partnership L etters and Agreements) and therefore are the most reliable sources for estimation purposes. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection**  EPA has carefully

considered the informati on collection burden imposed by the ENERGY STAR Program. EPA is confident that those activities requested of respondents are necessary , and to the extent possible, the Agency has attempted to minimize the burden imposed. A number of the requested activiti es, for example, will be performed once (e.g., one

- time submittal of Partnership L etter or Agreement). In addition, respondents can satisfy many of the collections in this I CR by submitting readily

available information. For example, users of Portfolio M anager are asked to enter energy use data (e.g., data from their energy bills). EPA believes strongly

that, if the information collections in this I CR are not performed at the requested frequency , EPA’s ability to implement the ENERGY STAR Program and the public’s ability to benefit from the program’s tools and resources could be hampered significantly

.21

**3(e) General Guidelines**  In formation collections performed under this clearance will follow all of OMB’s General Guidelines regarding Federal data collecti on. EPA intends to omit the expiration date from all forms being submitted for OMB review in this I CR. The information collected on the forms is modified infrequently . When modifications to the forms do occur, they normally involve changes that do not a ffect respondent burden (e.g., changes to wording and/or format). Under the 1995 Paperwork Reduction Act, a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Since this I CR is ren ewed every three years, inclusion of an expiration date on the forms would require EPA to amend them every three years. This would create unnecessary burdens for both EPA and those who complete the forms. Since inclusion of the expiration date on the for ms in these circumstances provides little to no value for the public, EPA intends to omit it from the forms under this I CR. **3(f) Confidentiality**  Participation in the ENERGY STAR Program is voluntary and may be terminated by participants or EPA at any tim e. I f a claim of confidential business information (CBI) is asserted, EPA will manage that information in accordance with EPA’s provisions on confidentiality . 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B establishes EPA’s general policy on the public disclosure of informati on and procedures for handling CBIclaims. **3(g) Sensitive Questions**  No questions of a sensitive nature are asked of participants with ENERGY STAR.22

**4. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED**  **4(a) Respondents and SIC/NAICS Codes**  The following is a list of Standard Industrial Classification (SI C) codes, North American In dustrial Classification Sy stem (NAI CS) codes, and associated industries that may be affected by information collections covered under this I CR for the ENERGY STAR Program. Note that , at the end of this list, EPA has included a number of NAI CS codes that do not have a corresponding SI C code. EPA has included an asterisk in the SI C code column to indicate that no corresponding SI C code exists. **SIC Industries**  **NAICS** 742 Veterinary

use is a critical component of the ENERGY STAR Program and guidance provided by

EPA to partners. EPA provides tools to track, measure and compare energy use for a range of building ty pes and facilities. Portfolio Manager is the primary tool for undertaking these activities and is available on

- line, although for specific industry ty pes, spreadsheet calculators may be provided. **Portfolio Manager** Portfolio Manager is an interactive energy management tool that allows users to track and assess energy

and water consumption across their entire por tfolio of facilities in a secure online environment. Users enter energy consumption and cost data into their Portfolio Manager account to benchmark facility

energy performance, assess energy management goals over time and identify strategic opportunities for savings and recognition opportunities. A “benchmark” is defined as a measurement of a facility ’s energy performance resulting from entering facility information and at least 11 consecutive months of facility energy data into EPA’s Portfolio Manager. Portfolio Manager offers two ty pes of benchmarks: a 1

- 100 Energy Performance Rating for select commercial facility ty pes and an Energy

Use Intensity

(EUI) index for all commercial facility

ty pes. The rating system accounts for the impacts of year - to
- ye ar weather variations, as well as facility size, location, and several operating characteristics. Portfolio Manager helps the user update and track data over time to continuously monitor performance. The user can use both short and long term trends in energy performance to make budget and management decisions regarding investments in energy

- related projects. Inaddition, EPA intends to collect information from Portfolio Manager users on its usability as a Web

- based tool and on the effectiveness of Portfoli o Manager guidance. Based on this information, EPA will identify and make needed improvements.58

$ Organizations may be asked to respond to EPA questions on the effectiveness of Portfolio Manager guidance. **E NERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator and Related Systems**  EPA gives industrial companies the opportunity to measure the energy

efficiency

of their plants. To measure efficiency and improve energy

use in the company , a company enters basic information about its plant (e.g., energy consumption data) into a tool that can be downloaded from EPA’s Web site called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI). The EPIproduces a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- ef ficient plants in the industry

and to the previous performance for the plant.59

Inaddition, EPA encourages industrial companies not otherwise eligible to use the EPI to track and improve their energy performance. EPA has established a program, ENERGY ST AR Challenge for Industry , which encourages such companies to track their energy performance using alternative systems, such as in

- house tracking sy stems, Portfolio Manager, or a spread sheet

- based tracking tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site called the ENERGY STAR Energy

Tracking Tool (ETT). These companies would enter basic information into the sy stem to track their performance. **(i) Data items**

zing the information associated with this I CR, EPA will use telephones, postal mail, personal computers/Internet, and applicable database software. EPA will ensure the a ccuracy

and completeness of collected information by reviewing each submittal. EPA will enter the information obtained into a database and will aggregate data obtained to monitor the progress of participants in improving energy performance. EPA will ensure the proper use and processing of the information collected to enhance the value of the information to EPA and the public. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility**  EPA expects that small businesses and congregations will participate in the ENERGY STAR Program. EP A has designed its information collections to minimize respondent burden while obtaining sufficient and accurate information. For example, EPA has tailored the Small Business and Congregations Network so that it requests only the minimum information neede d to establish contact with the small business or congregation. EPA also provides several methods for joining the Network (e.g., on

- line sign

- up, postcard, etc.). **5(d) Collection Schedule**  **JOINING THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES Partnershi**  **p Letter or Agreement/Related Activities** EPA collects the Partnership L etter or Agreement on a one

- time basis from organizations seeking to be Partners. Partners prepare the energy management plan on a one

- time basis. They then follow the plan in impro ving their facilities’ energy performance. The plan is not collected by EPA. EPA collects information from SPPs according to the following schedule. EPA collects information from SPPs to include in online listings (e.g. contact information) when the SPP joins the program. EPA requests an update of the information annually from SPPs. To be eligible to71

join, organizations must meet certain requirements before applying to become an ENERGY STAR SPP Partner. Applicants must demonstrate that they have activ ely

used the ENERGY STAR approach to help clients achieve their energy management goals as specified.

$ SPPs serving the existing commercial buildings market must benchmark at least 10 client commercial buildings in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and/or earn the ENERGY STAR L abel for at least one client commercial building in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and meeting other program requirements.

$ SPPs serving the commercial new construction market must submit commercial building d esign projects that achieve ENERGY STAR. Eligible design projects are determined by

using Target Finder and require approval from EPA.

$ SPPs serving the industrial market must work with an ENERGY STAR industrial partner on at least 1 energy efficiency

proj ect in the last 2 years and submit a Teaming Profile to EPA outlining the project scope and resulting savings for that project. Once the organization has been admitted into the SPP program, it is expected to maintain a minimum level of activity to be re cognized in online listings, as follows:

$ Existing commercial buildings SPP Partners must maintain at least 10 buildings benchmarked in the most recent 12

- month period or serve as the primary SPP in helping at least one customer commercial building to earn the ENERGY STAR in the most recent 12

- month period.

$ Commercial new construction SPP Partners will have their design project profiled displayed for up to 24 months after the Certificate of Occupancy is awarded. Design projects that are built and later e arn the ENERGY STAR will also be featured on the registry

of ENERGY STAR L abeled Buildings.

$ In dustrial SPP Partners must submit Teaming Profiles to EPA outlining the project scope and resulting savings for new projects completed for ENERGY STAR industrial partners every 2 years. EPA collects information from EEPS according to the following schedule:

$ Submittal and periodic update of a brief plan outlining the key activities the EEPS intend to undertake to cooperatively promote ENERGY STAR in the commerc ial and/or industrial markets; and

$ Submittal of annual updates to the Directory of Energy

**ENERGY STAR Leaders** There is no collection schedule. Rather, EPA requests that Partners who reach targets inform EPA by

submitting the qualification documents when they have met energy improvements in 10 percent increments across their portfolio. **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry and Other Plant Activit ies**  Sites that achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity within five years of their baseline have the opportunity to apply for recognition from EPA. **Statement of Energy Design Intent** There is no collection schedule for applying for the graph ic. **ENERGY STAR Awards** The ENERGY STAR Awards are held annually to recognize organizations that have achieved energy

performance improvements. ENERGY STAR Partners who wish to receive an annual award are requested to submit an application by the speci fied due date.74

**6. ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION**  **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden**  Exhibits 1 through 3 estimate the annual respondent burden hours for information collection activities associated with the ENERGY STAR Program in the commercial and industrial sectors. Table 1 presents the total annual hours to respondents under all activities. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs**  Exhibits 1 through 3 present the annual respondent costs for information collection activities associated with the ENERGY STAR Program in the commercial and industrial sectors. Table 1 presents the total annual respondent costs under all activities. Specific cost assumptions are discussed below. **(i) Estimating Labor Costs**  The labor rates used to estimate costs to respondents are consistent with the hourly wage rates published by

the Bureau of Labor Statistics publications on employ ment and earnings. Rates are current as of 2009. Rates reflect the cost of overhead and fringe benefits where appropriate. EPA estim ates an average respondent hourly labor rate (hourly

plus overhead and fringe) of $140.26 for legal staff, $101.45 for managerial staff, $69.60 for technical staff, and $35.03 for clerical staff. **(ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance (O**  **&M) Costs** Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs are those costs associated with a paperwork requirement incurred continually over the life of the I CR. They are defined by

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 as “the recurring dollar amount of costs associ ated with O&M or purchasing services.” Most of the collections in this I CR can be done online. I f a collection involves submittal by

postal mail, this I CR includes O&M costs for postage (i.e., $0.44). The IC R also includes $1,379 for a building to qual ify for the ENERGY STAR. This cost is for the building to contract a Professional Engineer to conduct a facility inspection, complete the Data Checklist, and notarize the Statement of Energy Performance from Portfolio Manager. In addition, the I CR includ es O&M costs of $1,278 for a petroleum company to ask its consulting service to generate energy

- efficiency results of its plant, so that the company can apply

for the ENERGY STAR for the plant. There are no capital costs associated with any activities rel ated to the ENERGY STAR Program in the commercial and industrial sectors.75

**6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Costs**  The hourly

labor rates used in this I CR were obtained from the 2009 GS pay schedule available from the Office of Personnel Management. EPA e stimates an average hourly labor cost of $75.50 for legal staff, $70.61 for managerial staff, $51.77 for technical staff, and $20.79 for clerical staff. The labor costs are based on the following GS levels and steps: legal labor rates were based on GS Le vel 15, Step 1, managerial labor rates were based on GS Level 14, Step 4, technical labor rates were based on GS Level 12, Step 5, and clerical labor rates were based on GS L evel 5, Step 1. To derive hourly estimates, EPA divided annual compensation estim ates by 2,080, which is the number of hours in the Federal work

- ye ar. EPA then multiplied hourly rates by the standard government overhead factor of 1.6. Agency burden and costs are estimated in Exhibits 4 through 6 and Table 2. **6(d) Estimating the Respo**  **ndent Universe** Inthis section, EPA describes its estimates of the number of respondents carry ing out the information collections under the ENERGY STAR Program in the commercial and industrial sectors. In developing its estimates, EPA referred to its dat abases (e.g., iStar) and other documentation in order to understand historical trends in the number of new and existing respondents. Based on this understanding, EPA has estimated the average number of respondents associated with each of the information c ollections under the program. **JOINING THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES (EXHIBIT 1)**  **Commercial and Industrial Sector Partners** EPA estimates that, on average, 600 organizations in the commercial and industrial sectors will submit a Partnersh ip L etter to EPA each year. EPA may ask Partners follow

- up questions. In addition, EPA estimates that five Partners will prepare and follow an energy management plan each year. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 1. **Service and Product Providers** EPA estimates that, on average, 78 SPPs will submit a Partnership Agreement, Commitment Form, and Partnership Application Data Form to EPA each year. EPA estimates that six Teaming Profiles will be submitted by Industrial SPPs. In addition, EPA estimat es that, on average, 125 existing SPPs will update their contact information and communicate their efforts and successes to EPA annually . These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 1.76

**Energy Efficiency Program Sponsors** EPA estimates that, on average, 12 EEPS will submit a Partnership Agreement and a brief plan to EPA each year. EPA estimates that an additional 18 EEPS will already have joined another ENERGY STAR Program (e.g., ENERGY STAR Products) and need only submit a Commitment Form online to join the C&IProgram. In addition, EPA estimates that, on average, 63 existing EEPS will actively participate in the program and provide information to EPA each ye ar as requested (e.g., updates of the brief plan). These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 1. **Small Business and Congregations Network** EPA estimates that 2,700 small businesses and congregations will provide the requested information to EPA each year to join the Network. This is reflected in Exhibit 1. **ENERGY STAR Challenge** EPA estimates that 1,200 organizations will provide the requested information to EPA each year to sign up for the ENERGY STAR Challenge. EPA also estimates that 26 “Challenge Stories” will be submitted annually . This is reflected in Exhibit 1. **BENCHMARKING (EXHIBIT 2) Po**  **rtfolio Manager** EPA provides several options for organizations to enter information into Portfolio Manager and benchmark their buildings:

$ Manual Data Entry . EPA estimates that, each year, 6,000 users will read the instructions and set up an account in Po rtfolio Manager to benchmark their buildings. In addition, EPA estimates that 12,132 users will perform new and repeat benchmarks each year, on average. Of these, EPA estimates that 75 percent (9,099) will gather facility and energy

data for their buildi ngs not using standard industry practices. EPA estimates that 25 percent (3,033) will gather facility and energy data for their buildings using standard industry practices (i.e., usual and customary

business practices that would be conducted even in the a bsence of ENERGY STAR). These practices could include, for example, compiling and keeping readily

available, centralized paper and/or electronic records (e.g., invoices, facility

data) for their portfolio of buildings. Users that perform such standard in dustry

practices would incur a lower incremental burden than others to gather data for Portfolio Manager. Finally , all users will enter the data into Portfolio Manager to benchmark their buildings. 3

3 Exhibit 2 includes weighted

- average burden estimates for gathering and entering data into Portfolio Manager to account for the average number of buildings as well as new and repeat benchmarks pe rformed annually.77

$ Data Entry

using Import Tool . EPA estimates that 80 org anizations will provide their data via an import tool (i.e., spreadsheet) to EPA. EPA will enter the data into Portfolio Manager.

$ ENERGY STAR Automated Benchmarking System (ABS) . EPA expects that seven organizations will host the system on average each ye ar. They will review the ABS instructions, set up an account and automated process, and conduct initial set

- up for 470 customers. After the customers are set up, the host will submit customer information to EPA using Extensible Markup L anguage (XML) and retrieve/relay

the scores to their customers monthly

. Inaddition, EPA expects to contact no more than 333 organizations each year to discuss the usability

of Portfolio Manager as a Web

- based tool. EPA also expects to contact no more than 300 organi zations each year to discuss the effectiveness of guidance on Portfolio Manager. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 2. **ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator and Related Systems** EPA gives industrial companies the opportunity to measure the energy

efficiency

of their plants. To measure efficiency and improve energy

use in the company , a company enters basic information into a spreadsheet tool on the ENERGY STAR Web site called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI). The EPIproduces a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- efficient plants in the industry and to the previous performance for the plant. EPA estimates that it takes a company 15 minutes per plant to enter information into the EPI

. C ompanies use the EPI

to produce plant scores, except for petroleum companies. Petroleum companies use a third

- party consulting service to measure the energy efficiency

of their plants. To request a plant score from the consulting service, a petroleum com pany is estimated to spend 10 minutes and $1,278 in contractor fees per plant. As shown in the table below, EPA estimates that industrial companies will enter information/generate scores for 143 plants annually , on average, during the three

- ye ar life of this IC R (i.e., (85 + 153 + 191) / 3 years). This includes 118 non

- petroleum plants and 25 petroleum plants on average each year.78 **Annual Number of Plants During Three -**  **Year Life of ICR Type of Plant**  **Annual Number of Plants**

- Petroleum 65 128 161 118 Petroleum 20 25 30 25 Total 85 153 191 143 Inaddition, EPA encourages industrial companies not otherwise eligible to use the EPI to track and improve their energy performance. EPA has established a program, ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry , which encourages such companies to track their energy performance using alternative systems, such as in

- house tracking sy stems, Portfolio Manager, or a spreadsheet

- based tracking tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site called the ENERGY STAR Energy Tracking Tool (ETT). EPA estimates that 25 companies currently use their existing in

- house sy stems to track their energy performance as a standard industry practice (i.e., usual and customary business practices that would be conducted even in the absence of ENERGY STAR). EPA does not expect these companies to incur any incremental burden in tracking their energy performance under the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry . EPA estimates that another 30 co mpanies will spend 2.5 hours to use alternative tracking systems (e.g., the ETT). Unlike companies that use their existing in

- house sy stems as a standard industry

practice, companies using alternative systems will incur incremental time to set up and use the sy stem. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 2. **Data Collection for Model Development and Beta Testing** EPA expects to expand Portfolio Manager by adding new facility

ty pes. In doing so, the Agency may need to gather information for model dev elopment and/or beta testing to make sure the tool produces relevant results. EPA expects to collect information from up to 600 organizations annually . These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 2. **RECOGNITION (EXHIBIT 3) ENERGY STAR Labeling**  Building s EPA estimates that organizations will submit 4,300 applications for the ENERGY STAR each year. These organizations must benchmark the building, contract a Professional Engineer to conduct a facility

inspection, complete the Data Checklist, and notarize the Statement of Energy79

Performance. They

must submit an on

- line application consisting of a Statement of Energy Performance, Letter of Agreement (LOA), and Data Checklist to EPA. [Note that this I CR burdens participants for benchmarking in the section, “Benchmarking,” under the heading, “Portfolio Manager.” See Exhibit 2.] EPA estimates that 760 profiles of L abeled Buildings will be submitted annually

. Inaddition, EPA may

visit and request information from 33 ENERGY STAR L abeled Buildings annually

. EPA also expects to contact representatives of buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR to collect information about the characteristics of buildings that lead to top energy performance. EPA also intends to collect information about the qualification process to measure how easy it is for organizations to use. EPA intends to contact no more than 60 representatives annually

. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 3. Plants In dustrial companies have an opportunity to apply to EPA to display

the ENERGY STAR on specific ty

pes of plants that meet EPA’s energy efficiency

criteria. I f the plant’s EPI score is in the top quartile, the company may apply to EPA for the ENERGY STAR by printing out a Statement of Energy

Performance. A Professional Enginee r (PE) in the company provides a certification/stamp, and the certified document and a letter are sent to EPA. I f the submittal contains confidential business information (CBI), the company also sends a copy

to EPA’s contractor to verify

energy performanc e results. I f approved by EPA, the plant receives the ENERGY STAR. The application process described above is used by all industrial companies eligible to apply , except petroleum companies. After the petroleum company receives its energy

efficiency sc ore from its consulting service, a PE in the company provides a certification/stamp confirming the accuracy

of the numbers provided to the consulting service. The company then sends the certified document and a letter from the consulting service to EPA. If approved by EPA, the plant receives the ENERGY STAR. (Petroleum companies do not need to send their results to EPA’s contractor for CBI review.) EPA estimates that industrial companies will seek recognition for 143 plants annually , on average, during the three

- ye ar life of this I CR. This includes 118 non

- petroleum plants and 25 petroleum plants each year. Inaddition, EPA estimates that 46 profiles of L abeled Plants will be submitted annually

.80

These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 3. [Note that this I CR burdens participants for tracking their energy

performance in the section, “Benchmarking,” under the heading, “ENERGY STAR Energy

Performance Indicator and Related Systems.” See Exhibit 2.] **ENERGY STAR Leaders** As part of the Partnership L etter, organizations commit to continuous improvement. To track Partners’ progress against their goal, EPA provides organizations recognition incentives to meet specific targets. This follows the Partnership L etter and includes that they track and benchmar k all of the eligible buildings in their portfolio and apply for recognition by

submitting the following qualification documents: a L etter of Qualification, Facility Summary

Report, Facility L ist, and L eaders Story . They also will respond to some EPA ques tions. EPA will review this information and recognize these participants as ENERGY STAR L eaders if they qualify

. As reflected in Exhibit 3, EPA estimates that, each year, 60 Partners will set up an ENERGY STAR L eaders account in Portfolio Manager and a pply for recognition. [Note that this I CR burdens these organizations for preparing/submitting their Partnership L etter in the section, “Joining the ENERGY STAR Program and Related Activities,” under the heading, “Commercial and Industrial Sector Partners .” See Exhibit 1. This I CR burdens these organizations for performing benchmarks in the section, “Benchmarking,” under the heading, “Portfolio Manager.” See Exhibit 2.] **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry and Other Plant Activities** In dustrial plants n ot eligible to use the EPI may seek recognition for their energy intensity reductions. EPA has established a program, the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry , which encourages such companies to pledge to reduce the energy intensity of their sites by

10 percent and track their progress towards this goal using alternative systems (e.g., in

- house tracking sy stems), as discussed above. Sites that achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity within five years of their baseline have the opportunity to appl y for recognition from EPA. The company may apply to EPA for recognition by printing out a Statement of Energy Improvement. A Professional Engineer (PE) in the company provides a certification/stamp, and the certified document and a letter are sent to EP A. I f approved by EPA, the site receives recognition (e.g., a certificate and right to produce a small trophy ). EPA estimates that 55 sites will seek recognition annually by preparing/submitting the application materials. [Note that this I CR burdens participants for tracking their energy performance in the section, “Benchmarking,” under the heading, “ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator and Related Systems.” See Exhibit 2.] Further, EPA estimates 15 companies will submit a description of their cor porate goals annually

. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 3.81

**Statement of Energy Design Intent** EPA estimates that, each year, 53 organizations will apply for the graphic, “Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR,” by gathering building and energy data, entering the data into Target Finder, and submitting the Statement of Energy Design Intent and Application L etter to EPA. EPA also estimates that 25 organizations will collaborate with EPA in developing case studies. This is reflected in Exhibit 3. **ENERGY STAR Awards** EPA estimates that 33 C&I Partners, two SPPs, and two EEPS will apply for an ENERGY STAR Award each year. EPA also estimates that 15 small businesses and congregations will apply

for recognition each year.

**6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden**  EPA estimates a total annual respondent burden in this I CR, 1772.05, of 125,023 hours. This is an increase of 70,523 hours from the previously approved burden of 54,500 hours in I CR 1772.04. Table 3 explains this 70,523

- hour increase. Specifically , the table presents the total annual hours estimated in I CR 1772.04 and I CR 1772.05 for each information colle ction (see columns 1

- 3). The table then compares their respective hours for each collection to derive the change in hours, and indicates whether this hour

- change resulted from a program change and/or adjustment (see column 4). The table also briefly desc ribes the program change and/or adjustment (see column 5). Finally , the table sums up all hour

- changes to derive the total annual change in hours for all collections (see the bottom row of the table). The table shows that there was a 3,065

- hour decrease due to program changes and a 73,588

- hour increase due to adjustments resulting from program growth. This resulted in a net increase of 70,523 hours in I CR 1772.05. The table shows that the vast majority of the increase in I CR 1772.05 resulted from EPA’ s adjustments to its analy sis of Portfolio Manager and ENERGY STAR L abeling. A significant increase in the number of participants using Portfolio Manager and ENERGY STAR Labeling has led to the increase in burden hours, reflecting the dramatic increase in the public’s use of these tools and resources over the past three years. The Agency expects continued strong growth for the future for a number of reasons. A primary reason is that State and local governments are increasingly leveraging ENERGY STAR as a way for the public to respond to rising energy

costs and global warming. In particular, a number of State and local governments (e.g., California, Hawaii, Michigan, New Jersey , Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, and the District of Columbia) have establishe d requirements and incentives for commercial and/or government buildings to benchmark their energy use in Portfolio Manager. Refer to Section 2(a) of this document for additional information about these initiatives. In addition, associations, utilities, and third

- party

providers are voluntarily communicating ENERGY STAR messages and promoting the use of ENERGY STAR tools and strategies in an effort to help companies reduce their energy

consumption and find more environmentally friendly way s to conduct bus iness. Further, the public has demonstrated an increasing desire to earn recognition under the ENERGY STAR Program. For example, from 2007 to 2008, the number of buildings earning the ENERGY STAR more than doubled, from more than 1,400 in 2007 to more th an 3,300 in 2008. Finally , EPA is continually improving its tools and resources to offer simpler ways to reduce the level of effort required for the public to measure and improve their energy performance. For example, EPA offers a range of options for us ers to benchmark their buildings in Portfolio Manager. This includes automated methods that enable users to take advantage of economies of scale to benchmark large portfolios of buildings more easily

.97

EPA believes that the burden estimated in this I CR is justified given the significant benefits to participants, the general public, and environment under the ENERGY STAR Program. For example, EPA estimates that, in 2007, the energy efficiency

efforts of commercial buildings helped to prevent 18 million metric tons (in MMTCE 4 ) of greenhouse gases and achieve a net savings of $5.4 billion. The efforts of industry helped to prevent another 6.3 MMTCE of greenhouse gases and achieve a net savings of $2.1 billion. 5 Buildings and plants that qualify

for the ENERGY STAR also illustrate these savings. Ty pically , ENERGY STAR buildings use 35 percent less energy and emit 35 percent less greenhouse gases than average buildings. The more than 3,300 commercial buildings and plants that earned the ENERGY STAR in 2008 acc ounted for savings of more than $1 billion in utility bills and over 7 MMTCE.

4 Million metric tons of carbon equivalent (MMTCE). Reductions in annual greenhouse gas emissions for EPA’s climate programs are based on “carbon equivalents,” which are determined by weighting the reductions in emissions of a gas by its global warming potential for a 100

- year time period. 5 For additional information on accomplishments under the ENERGY STAR Program, refer to the document, “ENERGY STAR and Other Climate Protection Partnerships 2007 Annual Report.” It can be found at: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=about.ab_index

Service and Product Providers 3,750.00 230.50 (3,154.70) (364.80) (3,519.50) EPA recently modified the SPP program by establishing requirements for a minimum level of activity for SPPs. If a SPP does not maintain a minimum level of activity , it will not be featured in a variety

of “most active” online listings. In addition, EPA will automatically

track SPP activity

through internally generated monthly reports. These modifications, taken together, are expected to reduce the number of SPPs actively participating in ENERGY STAR collections. EPA has reflected this program change by estimating the number of SPPs expected to remain active and involved in the collections. In addition, EPA adjusted the hours per activity based on im proved and updated data and analysis. The burden estimates in ICR 1772.05 reflect EPA's program experience gained over the past three years.
