**[Docket Number EERE–2011–BT–NOA– 0039]** 

**Technology Evaluation Process**

**AGENCY :**  Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy.

**ACTION :**  Notice of request for information (RFI) comment period

extension.

**SUMMARY :**  This is an extension of a prior RFI seeking comment on a proposed commercial buildings technology evaluation process. The stakeholder comment period is being extended an additional 30 days to give potential participants additional time to provide responses and comments on the
information contained within the RFI.

DOE seeks comments and information related to a commercial buildings technology evaluation process. DOE is seeking to create a process for evaluating emerging and underutilized energy efficient technologies for commercial buildings based on the voluntary submittal of product test data. The program would be centered on a publicly accessible listing of products that meet minimum energy efficiency criteria specified for the applicable technology type. Evaluation under the criteria would be based on product test data submitted by manufacturers, then analyzed by DOE to generate information related to the energy savings of the products. For those products that met the specified minimum energy efficiency criteria, the results of such analyses would be made publicly available. The program would provide centralized information on the analysis factors in a manner that would make results directly comparable between products within the same technology type or area.

**DATES :**  Written comments and information are requested on or before July 27, 2011.

**ADDRESSES :**  Interested persons may submit comments, identified by docket number EERE–2011–BT–NOA–0039, by any of the following methods. Your response should be limited to 3 pages. Questions relative to responding to this RFI may be sent to the same mailbox in advance of your response, and will be
answered via e-mail.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
Request for Comment

On May 26, 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued an RFI regarding a process for evaluating emerging and underutilized energy efficient technologies for commercial buildings based on the voluntary submittal of product test data. 76 FR 30696. As explained in the RFI, the program would be centered on a publicly accessible listing of products that meet minimum energy efficiency criteria specified for the applicable technology type. Evaluation under the criteria would be based on product test data submitted by manufacturers, then analyzed by DOE to generate information related to the energy savings of the products. For those products that met the specified minimum energy efficiency criteria, the results of such analyses would be made publicly available. The program would provide centralized information on the analysis factors in a manner that would make results directly comparable between products within the same technology type or area.

The RFI originally provided June 27, 2011, as the date by which comments were to be submitted. DOE is extending the comment period until July 27, 2011. The May 26, 2011 RFI provides additional detail on the program under consideration as well as the specific questions on which DOE is seeking

comment.

Disclaimer and Important Notes

The RFI has been issued solely for information and program planning purposes; the RFI does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals or abstracts. Responses to the RFI will be treated as information only. DOE will not provide reimbursement for costs incurred in responding to the RFI. Respondents are advised that DOE is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted under the RFI. Responses to the RFI do not bind DOE to any further actions related to this topic.

Confidential Business Information

According to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person submitting information he or she believes to be confidential and exempt by law from public disclosure should submit via e-mail, postal mail, or hand delivery/courier two well-marked copies: One copy of the document marked confidential including all the information believed to be confidential, and one copy of the document marked
non-confidential with the information
believed to be confidential deleted.
Submit these documents via e-mail or on a CD, if feasible. DOE will make its
own determination about the
confidential status of the information and treat it according to its
determination.

Factors of interest to DOE when evaluating requests to treat submitted information as confidential include: (1) A description of the items; (2) whether and why such items are customarily
treated as confidential within the industry; (3) whether the information is generally known by or available from other sources; (4) whether the information has previously been made available to others without obligation concerning its confidentiality; (5) an explanation of the competitive injury to the submitting person which would result from public disclosure; (6) when such information might lose its
confidential character due to the passage of time; and (7) why disclosure of the information would be contrary to the public interest.

It is DOE’s policy that all comments may be included in the public docket, without change and as received, including any personal information provided in the comments (except information deemed to be exempt from public disclosure).

Title: NSPS for Polymeric Coating of Supporting Substrates Facilities (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1284.09 OMB Control Number 2060–

0181.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2011. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is pending at OMB. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.

Abstract: NSPS for Polymeric Coating of Supporting Substrates Facilities are subject to the General Provisions at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to these Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart VVV.

Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain
records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 82 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of polymeric coating of supporting substrates
facilities.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

56.

Frequency of Response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

13,108.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,866,424, which includes $1,229,924 in labor costs, $48,500 in capital/startup costs, and $588,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: The small
increase in burden and cost to the Respondents and the Agency from the
