DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy 

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

invites public comment on a proposed 

collection of information that DOE is 

developing for submission to the Office 

of Management and Budget 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. 

The proposed collection would 

involve information that will enable 

DOE to measure the impact and progress 

of DOE’s National Clean Fleets 

Partnership (Partnership). The 

Partnership is an initiative through 

which DOE provides large private-sector 

fleets with technical assistance and 

expertise to incorporate alternative fuels 

and fuel saving measures into their 

operations successfully. The initiative 

builds on the established success of 

DOE’s Clean Cities program. The 

Partnership was developed with input 

from fleet managers, industry 

representatives, Clean Cities program 

staff, and Clean Cities coordinators. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before December 26, 

2012. 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. Mark Smith, Office of Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE– 

2G), U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20585–0121, or by fax 

at 202–586–1600, or by email at 

Mark.Smith@ee.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Mr. Mark Smith, Office of 

Energy Efficiency and Renewable 

Energy (EE–2G), U.S. Department of 

Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue 

SW., Washington, DC 20585–0121, (202) 

287–5151, Mark.Smith@ee.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. New; (2) Information 

Collection Request Title: National Clean 

Fleets Partnership Progress; (3) Type of 

Request: New; (4) Purpose: DOE’s Clean 

Cities initiative has developed a 

voluntary National Clean Fleets 

Partnership effort that establishes 

strategic alliances with large private 

fleets to help them explore and adopt 

alternative fuels and fuel economy 

measures to reduce petroleum use. The 

Partnership does not endeavor to engage 

a large number of fleets, but rather 

works with select fleets committed to

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 208 / Friday, October 26, 2012 / Notices 65375 

leading the way in reducing petroleum 

consumption. Under a voluntary 

agreement, Clean Cities commits to 

provide each fleet with a designated 

account manager for assistance and 

support; work with fleets to develop 

individual partner plans to reduce 

petroleum use; provide technical 

assistance, data, access to subject matter 

experts, analysis, and unbiased 

evaluation; provide education and 

outreach materials to recognize a fleet’s 

involvement with the Partnership and 

its accomplishments; supply 

mechanisms for fleet information 

exchange and networking; and identify 

and document progress related to 

petroleum savings, cost savings, and 

reductions in emissions. A participating 

fleet commits to appointing a primary 

contact; developing a petroleum use 

reduction plan; acting to work toward 

the goals set forth in the plan; tracking 

progress and provide baseline 

information and annual data on 

petroleum use; and participating as an 

active Clean Cities stakeholder. 

The principal objective of collecting 

the information DOE seeks to gather 

through the Partnership effort is to 

allow DOE to develop an objective 

assessment and estimate of each fleet’s 

impact and progress. Information 

requested would be used to establish a 

baseline of activities, vehicle 

inventories, and fuel use for each fleet, 

which will then be used for future 

comparisons and analyses of instituted 

programs and policies. A designated 

representative for each participating 

fleet will provide the requested 

information. The intended respondent is 

expected to be aware of relevant aspects 

of the company’s fleet management, 

such that the gathering of information is 

not expected to be very resource 

consuming. 

The Partnership effort will rely on 

data provided in a template spreadsheet 

and responses to questions the 

respondent chooses to answer during a 

phone or in-person interview. The 

questions and data collection would 

address the following topic areas: (a) 

Vehicle data, in terms of the number of 

different vehicles in the fleet sorted by 

fuel type and class or category of 

vehicle; (b) Fuel data, in terms of the 

quantity of fuel used in given vehicle 

categories or classes, based on the type 

of fuel; (c) Fuel use by type by zip code 

or other appropriate geographic zone; 

(d) type of infrastructure used; (e) 

Current and historical fleet strategies to 

reduce petroleum (driver training, idle 

reduction, alternative fuels, right 

sizing); and (e) Fleet operations (how 

vehicles are fueled). The responses and 

data will be compiled for the purpose of 

assessing progress against the fleet’s 

baseline information, and impact in 

terms of increasing deployment of 

alternative fueled vehicles and 

alternative fuels themselves. 

The interview that would be part of 

the voluntary Partnership initiative 

would be completed on an annual basis, 

at the convenience of the participating 

fleet, there being no date by which the 

questions must be completed. 

Calculation of progress and impacts will 

be undertaken on an ongoing basis, once 

the interview is completed. 

The data and subsequent analyses 

will allow DOE to compare historical 

records dynamically, and provide the 

opportunity for each fleet to determine 

annual progress. The Partnership is 

targeted at large, private-sector fleets 

that own or have contractual control 

over at least 50 percent of their vehicles 

and have vehicles operating in multiple 

States. DOE expects approximately 30 

fleets to participate in the Partnership 

the first year and, as a result, DOE 

expects a total respondent population of 

approximately 20 respondents the first 

year. Providing initial baseline 

information for each participating fleet, 

which occurs only once, is expected to 

take 60 minutes. Follow-up questions 

and clarifications for the purpose of 

ensuring accurate analyses are expected 

to take up to 90 minutes. (5) Annual 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 20; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total 

Responses: 20; (7) Annual Estimated 

Number of Burden Hours: 50; and (8) 

Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: There is no 

cost associated with reporting and 

recordkeeping. 

Statutory Authority: 42 U.S.C. Sec. 

13252(a)–(b); 42 U.S.C. 13255; 42 U.S.C.
