copies of the information collection 

instrument and instructions should be 

directed to Andre de Fontaine, EE–5A/ 

Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence 

Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585, by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. 1910–5141; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Department of Energy Better 

Buildings Challenge, Better Buildings 

Alliance, and the Better Buildings, 

Better Plants Voluntary Pledge Program; 

(3) Type of Review: Extension with 

Revision of a Currently Approved 

Collection 

(4) Purpose: This Information 

Collection Request applies to three 

Department of Energy (DOE) voluntary 

leadership initiatives that fall under 

DOE’s Better Buildings Initiative: (1) 

The Better Buildings Challenge; (2) the 

Better Buildings, Better Plants Program 

(Better Plants); and (3) the Better 

Buildings Alliance. Two new 

information collection instruments are 

proposed in order to streamline the 

application process for a manufacturing 

leadership awards program under Better 

Plants. Other pre-existing collection 

forms are being amended for clarity and 

to reduce burden on respondents. Also, 

the total number of respondents and 

response time for individual program 

areas is being adjusted to align with 

practical experience and to account for 

the program’s growth over time. For 

example, due to improved data quality 

controls and greater experience 

observing partners, the hours per 

response has been increased for the 

Better Buildings, Better Plants Challenge 

Annual Reporting Form. The total 

number of hours associated with the 

Annual Better Plants Program Pledge 

Form was decreased to account for the 

establishment of more efficient internal 

collection processes as partners gain 

experience in the program. The number 

of hours per response for both the Better 

Buildings, Better Plants Web Profile 

Development and Water Data Collection 

forms, respectively, were changed to 

reflect actual partner response time 

based on practical experience. 

The leadership initiatives in the 

Better Buildings Initiative covered 

under this Information Collection 

Request are intended to drive greater 

energy and water efficiency in the 

commercial, public, residential, data 

center, and industrial marketplace to 

reduce pollution, cut costs, and create 

jobs. This is accomplished by 

highlighting the ways participants 

overcome market barriers to greater 

efficiency with replicable solutions. The 

program showcases real solutions and 

partners with industry leaders to better 

understand policy and technical 

opportunities. There are three types of 

information to be collected from 

primary participants, also referred to as 

‘‘Partners’’: (1) Background data, 

including contact information, a 

partnership agreement form, logo(s), 

information needed to support public 

announcements, updates on 

participants’ showcase projects, and an 

energy savings goal; (2) Portfolio-wide 

energy performance information; and (3) 

Information on market innovations 

participants are including in their 

energy efficiency processes. Background 

data is primarily used to develop 

website content that is publically 

available. Portfolio-wide facility-level 

energy performance information is used 

by DOE to measure the participants’ 

progress in meeting the goals of the 

program, as well as to aggregate the 

change in energy performance and 

related metrics for the entire program. 

Information on market innovation is 

used to highlight successful strategies 

participants use to overcome challenges, 

and is made publicly available. 

Additional background information is 

being collected from ‘‘Allies’’, financial 

and utility organizations that make a 

public commitment to support the 

energy efficiency marketplace. 

Background information including 

name, dollars committed to the market, 

and a company logo is also used to 

develop publically available website 

content. Responses to the DOE’s 

Information Collection Request are 

voluntary. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 752, a slight increase over 

the current ICR’s 740, which reflects 

modest growth in participation across 

the programs. 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 897, a slight decrease 

from the current ICR’s 933, which is 

driven by a change in frequency of 

reporting from biannual to annual for 

one information collection form. 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 2,232.25, a decrease from 

the current ICR’s 2,709.25, which 

reflects improved data collection and 

reporting processes put in place by 

partners, especially those that have been 

participating in the programs for 

multiple years. 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $90,475, a 

reduction from the current ICR’s 

$106,934. 

Statutory Authority: Section 421 of 

the Energy Independence and Security 

Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C. 17081); Section 

911 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 16191).
