grantees will be required to submit, as

5. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award, the Secretary 

considers, under 34 CFR 75.253, the 

extent to which a grantee has made 

‘‘substantial progress toward meeting 

the objectives in its approved 

application.’’ This consideration 

includes the review of a grantee’s 

progress in meeting the targets and 

projected outcomes in its approved 

application, and whether the grantee 

has expended funds in a manner that is 

consistent with its approved application 

and budget. In making a continuation 

grant, the Secretary also considers 

whether the grantee is operating in 

compliance with the assurances in its 

approved application, including those 

applicable to Federal civil rights laws 

that prohibit discrimination in programs 

or activities receiving Federal financial 

assistance from the Department (34 CFR 

100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy 

(DOE). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) invites public comment on a 

proposed collection of information that 

DOE is developing for submission to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) pursuant to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. Comments are 

invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) 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; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before January 9, 2012. 

If you anticipate difficulty in submitting 

comments within that period, contact 

the person listed in ADDRESSES as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

sent to Monica Neukomm, EE–20/ 

Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence 

Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585 or 

by fax at (202) 586–9260 or by email at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. New. 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Department of Energy Better 

Buildings Challenge Information 

Collection Request. 

(3) Type of Request: New. 

(4) Purpose: The information being 

collected is needed to include 

participants in the Department of 

Energy (DOE) Better Buildings 

Challenge program. The Better 

Buildings Challenge is a voluntary 

leadership initiative intended to drive 

greater energy efficiency in the 

commercial and industrial marketplace 

to create real savings and real jobs. This 

will be accomplished by highlighting 

the ways participants overcome market 

barriers/persistent obstacles with 

replicable, marketplace solutions. The 

program will showcase real solutions 

and partner with industry leaders to 

better understand policy and technical 

opportunities. There are three types of 

information to be collected from 

‘‘Partners,’’ the primary participant 

type, being: (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 

facility-level energy performance 

information; and (3) Information on 

market innovations they are including 

in their energy efficiency processes. 

Background information will primarily 

be used to develop Web site content that 

will be publically available. Portfoliowide facility-level energy performance 

information will be used by DOE to 

measure the progress of participants 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 will be used to highlight 

successful strategies participants use to 

overcome challenges, and will be 

publicly available. Additional 

information collected from ‘‘Allies’’ will 

primarily be background information 

that will be used to develop publically 

available Web site content. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 130. 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 710. 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 465. 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0. 

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).
