AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) invites public comment on a 

proposed collection of information that 

DOE is developing for submission to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) pursuant to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. Comments are 

invited on: (a) whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before September 30, 

2011. If you anticipate difficulty in 

submitting comments within that 

period, contact the person listed in 

ADDRESSES as soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

sent to Mr. Alan Schroeder, U.S. 

Department of Energy, Office of Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy,
