DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy, Department of

Energy.

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy

(DOE) has submitted the proposed

information collection request (ICR)

described in this notice to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and approval in accordance with

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Pub. L. 104–13. 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

The OMB is particularly interested in

comments which evaluate: (1) whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary to measure the progress and

success of the Combined Heat and

Power Registry, (2) the accuracy of

DOE’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed information collection, (3)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected, and (4) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who choose to respond.

There were not any comments

received during the 60 day notice

period.

DATES: Comments regarding this

collection of information should be

received on or before November 16,

2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to

the Office of Management and Budget,

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Attention: OMB Desk Officer for

DOE, Room 10202, New Executive

Office Building, 725 17th Street, NW.,

Washington DC. A copy of the

comments should also be sent to Merrill

Smith, Office of Power Technologies,

Department of Energy, Room 5H–088,

1000 Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20585.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A

or e-mail to merrill.smith@ee.doe.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

following proposed collection of

information has been sent to OMB for

clearance:

Collection Title: U.S. Department of

Energy/Combined Heat and Power

Registry

Type of Review: New collection.

OMB Number: None.

Type of Respondents: Individuals,

Businesses, State and Local

Governments.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

1,000.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 500.

Frequency of Response: One time

only.

Abstract

DOE plans to publicize widely the

existence of the registry through it’s

Regional Support Offices, the CHP

website, meetings, conferences and the

like, and through its relationship with

CHP organizations. Due to the recent

high level of interest in CHP, DOE

expects that many CHP installers,

individuals, utilities, governments, and

businesses will wish to register their

CHP systems in order to gain

recognition on the CHP webpage and

also be potentially eligible for an award.

Registration would take place

electronically (a paper form would be

available upon request) by responding

to a series of very brief questions. If a

system met the established criteria, a

CHP certificate would be sent to the

facility. Registration would take place

one time only. DOE plans to aggregate

the data and generate reports detailing

the geographic distribution of systems

and among other things, the sizes and

types of systems. This data collection

will assist DOE in its management of

and planning for the continued success

of the CHP initiative.

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 10,

2000.

Dan W. Reicher,

Assistant Secretary, Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy.
