Abstract: ENERGY STAR is a 

voluntary program developed in 

collaboration with industry to create a 

self-sustaining market for energy 

efficient products. The center piece of 

the program is the ENERGY STAR label, 

a registered certification label that helps 

consumers identify products that save 

energy, save money, and help protect 

the environment without sacrificing 

quality or performance. In order to 

protect the integrity of the label and 

enhance its effectiveness in the 

marketplace, EPA must ensure that 

products carrying the label meet 

appropriate program requirements. 

Program participants submit signed 

Partnership Agreements indicating that 

they will adhere to logo-use guidelines 

and program requirements. Retail 

partners commit to selling, marketing 

and promoting ENERGY STAR certified 

products. Product brand owner partners, 

who are usually the manufacturer of the 

products, commit to having 

participating products certified to meet 

specified energy performance criteria 

based on a standard test method and 

EPA’s third party certification 

requirements. These requirements for 

ENERGY STAR product certification 

also include provisions for verifying the 

performance of certified products 

through verification testing. 

Now, product information is recorded 

by Certification Bodies and shared with 

EPA using XML-based web services that 

validate and save the information in 

EPA’s database. With this new process 

of obtaining certified product data, 

certified model data is automatically 

updated daily on the ENERGY STAR 

Web site. To ensure continued product 

performance after initial certification, 

EPA requires Certification Bodies to 

conduct post-market verification testing 

of a sampling of ENERGY STAR 

certified products. Certification Bodies 

are required to share information with 

EPA on products subjected to this postmarket testing twice a year and to 

immediately report any certified 

products that no longer meet the 

program requirements. This process 

allows EPA to monitor the ongoing 

performance of products and take 

necessary steps to maintain consumer 

confidence in the ENERGY STAR label 

and protect the investment of partners.

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents for this information 

collection request include Partners in 

ENERGY STAR. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,080. 

Frequency of response: Initially/onetime and annually. 

Total estimated burden: 41,209 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $3,118,166 (per 

year), includes $17,285 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 24,129 hours in the total 

estimated burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB. 

Although participation in the ENERGY 

STAR program has steadily increased, 

the automated process of sharing 

information between Certification 

Bodies and the Agency has reduced the 

overall burden for Partners.

Abstract: The Office of Enforcement 

and Compliance Assurance (OECA) is 

responsible for administrative, civil and 

criminal enforcement of the 

environmental laws that EPA 

administers. EPA’s criminal 

enforcement and civil enforcement 

programs are dependent on tips and 

complaints from concerned citizens and 

members of the regulated community. 

The OECA Tips & Complaints Web page 

provides a convenient means by which 

these individuals can voluntarily submit 

tips and complaints regarding suspected 

violations of environmental law. Tips or 

complaints received are used by civil 

and/or criminal enforcement personnel 

at EPA to determine whether an 

investigation is warranted into the 

suspected or alleged misconduct. In 

some cases, EPA may decide to refer 

tips or complaints for investigation to 

other federal agencies or to State or local 

authorities within whose jurisdiction 

the matter may appropriately fall. The 

OECA Tips and Complaints Web page 

does not replace or otherwise supplant 

other means of providing tips or 

complaints to EPA; it merely provides a 

convenient means by which to supply 

these tips or complaints. As with 

complaints provided by phone, fax, or 

electronic mail, we expect that tippers 

or complainants are already in the 

possession of information that leads 

them to suspect a violation of 

environmental law when they contact 

EPA to report the matter. Accordingly, 

EPA believes that the burden associated 

with the reporting is merely that arising 

from the need to read the instructions 

and type or select information into the 

appropriate fields. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Anyone wishing to file a tip or 

complaint. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

10,286 (total). 

Frequency of response: Occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 5,143 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $102,242 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 542 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase reflects that tips 

and complaints are being filed at a 

higher rate, which is a strong indication 

of the success of this program.
