Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public 

comments on specific aspects of the 

proposed information collection as 

described below. This is a proposed 

extension of the ICR, which is currently 

approved through September 30, 2015. 

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor

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

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;

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: Natural Gas STAR is a 

voluntary program sponsored by the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) that encourages oil and natural 

gas companies to adopt cost effective 

technologies and practice that improve 

operational efficiency and reduce 

methane emissions. Methane is the 

primary component of natural gas and a 

potent greenhouse gas. The Program 

works with oil and natural gas 

companies in the production, gathering 

& processing, transmission, and 

distribution sectors to remove barriers 

that inhibit the implementation of 

technologies and practices that reduce 

methane emissions. The Program 

effectively promotes the adoption of 

emission reduction technologies and 

practices by helping Natural Gas Star 

partners evaluate Best Management 

Practices (BMPs) and Partner Reported 

Opportunities (PROs) in the context of 

their current operations, and implement 

them where cost effective. 

Implementation of the Program’s BMPs 

and PROs saves participants money, 

improves operational efficiency, and 

enhances the protection of the 

environment. 

Form Numbers 

Natural Gas STAR partners are 

required to sign and submit to EPA a 

one-page Memorandum of 

Understanding (MOU) that describes the 

terms of participation in the Program.

Respondents/affected entities: The 

gathering and processing, production, 

transmission, and distribution sectors of 

the natural gas industry. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

voluntary 

Estimated number of respondents: 

109 (total). 

Frequency of response: 109. 

Total estimated burden: 5,201 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $477,657, 

includes $0 annualized capital or O&M 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: EPA expects 

that the burden associated with the final 

ICR submission will decrease slightly 

due to the Program’s maturity and a 

decrease in number of new Program 

partners.
