3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general 

public and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed,

information. This helps the Department

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand the 

Department’s information collection 

requirements and provide the requested 

data in the desired format. ED is 

soliciting comments on the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) that 

is described below. The Department of 

Education is especially interested in 

public comment addressing the 

following issues: (1) Is this collection 

necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the 

respondents, including through the use 

of information technology. Please note 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Gainful 

Employment Recent Graduates 

Employment and Earning Survey Pilot 

Test. 

OMB Control Number: 1845—NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals or Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 2,040. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 170. 

Abstract: The National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. 

Department of Education (ED) is 

required by regulation to develop an 

earnings survey to support gainful 

employment program evaluations (see 

34 CFR 668.406 as specified in final 

regulations published in the Federal 

Register in October 2014). NCES is 

responsible for developing the survey 

and the technical standards to which 

programs must adhere in its 

administration. The regulations specify 

that the Secretary of Education will 

publish in the Federal Register a pilottested earnings survey and the standards 

required for its administration. The draft 

standards are being published for public 

comment in a separate announcement. 

This request is to conduct a pilot test of 

the Recent Graduates Employment and 

Earnings Survey (RGEES). The RGEES 

pilot test will measure unit response 

rates and enable comparisons to 

earnings data collected through other 

surveys and in administrative records. 

The pilot study results will be used to 

compare median earnings collected 

through the survey to median earnings 

for graduates from comparable programs 

based on a match to the Social Security 

Administration as part of the 2012 

gainful employment informational rates.

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate 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; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: 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 emissions by 

reducing the demand for energy. In 

1991, EPA launched the Green Lights 

Program to encourage corporations, 

State and local governments, colleges 

and universities, and other 

organizations to adopt energy-efficient 

lighting as a profitable means of 

preventing pollution and improving 

lighting quality. Since then, EPA has 

rolled Green Lights into ENERGY STAR 

and expanded ENERGY STAR to 

encompass organization-wide energy 

performance improvement, such as 

building technology upgrades, product 

purchasing initiatives, 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 on the web to help 

the public overcome the barriers to 

evaluating their energy performance and 

investing in profitable improvements. 

To join ENERGY STAR, organizations 

are asked to complete a Partnership 

Letter or Agreement that establishes 

their commitment to energy efficiency. 

Partners agree to undertake efforts such 

as measuring, tracking, and 

benchmarking their organization’s 

energy performance by using tools such 

as those offered by ENERGY STAR; 

developing and implementing a plan to 

improve energy performance in their 

facilities and operations by adopting a 

strategy provided by ENERGY STAR; 

and educating staff and the public about 

their Partnership with ENERGY STAR, 

and highlighting achievements with the 

ENERGY STAR, where available. 

Partners also may be asked to 

periodically submit information to EPA 

as needed to assist in program 

implementation. 

Partnership in ENERGY STAR is 

voluntary and can be terminated by 

Partners or EPA at any time. EPA does 

not expect organizations to join the 

program unless they expect 

participation to be cost-effective and 

otherwise beneficial for them. 

In addition, Partners and any other 

interested party can seek recognition 

and help EPA promote energy-efficient 

technologies by evaluating the 

efficiency of their buildings using EPA’s 

on-line tools (e.g., Portfolio Manager) 

and applying for recognition. EPA does 

not expect to deem any information 

collected under ENERGY STAR to be 

Confidential Business Information (CBI).

5900–16, 5900–89, 5900–263, 5900–262, 

5900–264, and 5900–265. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

sector. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

15,000 (total). 

Frequency of response: One-time, on 

occasion, monthly, annually, and/or 

periodically. 

Total estimated burden: 194,509 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $24,408,276 (per 

year) includes $10,318,180 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change of hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB. EPA is 

currently evaluating and updating these 

estimates as part of the ICR renewal 

process. EPA will discuss its updated 

estimates, as well as changes from the 

last approval, in the next Federal 

Register notice to be issued for this 

renewal.
