Proposed Agency Information 

Collection 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice and request for OMB 

review and comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) has submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

clearance, a proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

proposed collection will enable a userbased evaluation of submitted entries to 

the Bright Tomorrow Lighting 

Competition (L Prize®) competition. The 

L Prize competition was authorized to 

encourage development and 

deployment of highly energy efficient 

solid-state lighting products. The 

proposed collection will assist in 

evaluating the entries in a real-world 

environment to insure that winning 

products do not exhibit undesirable or 

poor qualities that are not identified 

from formal laboratory testing by the 

DOE. These undesirable attributes could 

be a hindrance to sales of the winning 

product and could negatively impact the 

energy reduction potential of the 

competition. Additionally, the DOE 

wishes to gauge program success by 

periodically obtaining quantitative data 

about the effectiveness of the 

promotions and campaigns which are 

directly tied to L Prize winners. The 

quantitative data will be a survey asking 

five qualitative questions about the 

occupant’s overall satisfaction of the 

lights. The brief assessments will be 

collected by the site’s partner sponsor 

and returned, along with the entrant 

lamps, to DOE at the conclusion of the 

field assessment. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

collection must be received on or before 

July 30, 2012. If you anticipate that you 

will be submitting comments, but find 

it difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, please 

advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of 

your intention to make a submission as 

soon as possible. The Desk Officer may 

be telephoned at 202–395–4650. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 

735 17th Street NW., Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

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

Collection Request Title: Bright 

Tomorrow Lighting Competition (L 

Prize®): Field Assessment and Post 

Prize Monitoring; (3) Type of Request: 

New collection; (4) Purpose: The Bright 

Tomorrow Lighting Competition was 

authorized in the Energy Independence 

and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), 

Subtitle E, Section 655, to encourage 

development and deployment of highly 

energy efficient solid-state lighting 

(SSL) products to replace several of the 

most common lighting products 

currently used in the United States. 

Field assessments contribute to the 

evaluation of L Prize entries in a wide 

range of lighting applications. 

The field assessments evaluate energy 

use of the installed product, the lighting 

system performance compared to the 

existing technology, and user feedback. 

The objective of field testing is to obtain 

installation data and user acceptance, in 

order to evaluate the product and 

determine its potential to be declared a 

winner. Additionally, DOE plans to 

monitor the impact of the L Prize 

competition through post-prize 

monitoring of incentive programs, 

educational campaigns, and retail 

promotions. This monitoring will 

include measuring the number of 

customers reached, bulbs sold, energy 

savings, and other tangible benefits.; (5) 

Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 526; (6) Annual Estimated
