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).

(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.

increase in burden and cost to the 

Respondents and the Agency from the
