$13,553,209 for labor and $600 for 

capital investment, operation and 

maintenance.

increase of 3,009 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by

increase due to program changes and a 

109,557-hour decrease due to

primarily from EPA’s new, more 

rigorous guidelines for new homes 

looking to earn the ENERGY STAR. The 

109,557-hour decrease due to

updated and improved data and
