**1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION**  **COLLECTION 1(a)**  **Title and Number of the Information Collection** This I CR is entitled “Information Collection Activities Associated with EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Program in the Commercial and Industrial Sectors,” I CR Number 1772.06

. **1(b) Short Characterization**  **or Abstract** The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created ENERGY STAR as a voluntary program to help businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency . The program focuses on reducing utility

- generated emissio ns by reducing the demand for energy . In 1991, EPA launched the Green Lights Program to encourage corporations, State and local governments, colleges and universities, and other organizations to adopt energy

efficient lighting as a profitable means of preventing pollution and improving lighting quality

. Since then, EPA has rolled Green Lights into ENERGY STAR and expanded ENERGY STAR to encompass organization

- wide energy performance improvement, such as building technology upgrades, product purchasing ini tiatives, and employee training. At the same time, EPA has streamlined the reporting requirements of ENERGY STAR and focused on providing recognition incentives for improvements (e.g., ENERGY STAR Awards Program). EPA also makes tools and other resources available over the Web to help the public overcome the barriers to evaluating their energy

performance and investing in profitable improvements. In addition, EPA is always looking for ways to simplify its information collections, such as by giving organi zations the option of joining ENERGY STAR by completing an online partnership letter or agreement instead of using regular mail. For several reasons, there has been a dramatic increase in the public’s participation in ENERGY STAR over the past several years, and EPA expects their participation to rise even more in the coming years. President Obama has made energy efficiency

an important component of the Federal government’s approach to energy management. ENERGY STAR Partner s have embraced organization

- wi de energy management and are bringing large building and plant portfolios into the program. A growing number of State and local governments are leveraging ENERGY STAR as a way for the public to respond to rising energy costs and global warming, includin g mandatory energy benchmarking and disclosure laws that require buildings within their juri sdic tion to use EPA’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Participation in ENERGY STAR has also risen dramatically

because of the efforts of trade associations, utilitie s, and third

- party providers in promoting the program to the public. These organizations voluntarily communicate ENERGY STAR messages and promote the use of ENERGY STAR tools and strategies in an effort to help companies reduce their energy consumption an d find more environmentally friendly ways to conduct business.2

As a result of the efforts of Partners and others under the ENERGY STAR Program, there have been significant benefits to the public and environment. For example, EPA estimates that, in 2010, the energy

efficiency

efforts of commercial buildings helped to avoid 81.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent ( MMTCO 2 e ) of greenhouse gases and a net $7.1 billion. The efforts of industry

helped to prevent another 30.8 MMTCO 2 e of greenhouse gases and achieve a net savings of $2.0 billion. 1 Buildings and plants that qualify for the ENERGY STAR, by achieving a score of 75 or higher on EPA’s energy performance scale and meeting relevant requirements for indoor air quality, also illustrate these savings. Ty pically, ENERGY STAR buildings use 35 percent less energy and emit 35 percent less greenhouse gases than average buildings. By

the end of 2011, more than 16,500 commercial buildings and plants earned the ENERGY STAR. This I CR examines the in formation collections under the ENERGY STAR Program in the commercial and industrial sectors. Sections 1 through 5 of this document describe the collections (e.g., from the standpoint of need and use/utility of the information collected). The sections al so describe respondent and Agency activities. In Section 6, EPA estimates the total annual hour and cost burden to respondents and the Agency under the collections. **ENERGY STAR IN THE COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SECTORS** The ENERGY STAR Program consists of the following participant groups:

 Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Sector Partners. This participant group includes businesses and other organizations in such fields as commercial and corporate real estate, education, entertainment, government, healthcare and senior care facilities, hospitality, manufacturing and industry, multifamily housing, retail, wastewater and drinking water treatment, and associations. Partners make a commitment to achieving energy

efficiency

in their buildings.

 Service and Produ ct Provider (SPP) Partners. This participant group includes companies that provide energy efficiency

services and/or products in the commercial and industrial markets. Ty pes of companies eligible include architecture, distributor, energy consultant/energy management services, energy improvement contractor, energy information services, energy services company (ESCO), engineering, equipment manufacturer, financial services, on

- site energy production services, unregulated energy retailer and marketer, or oth er supplier of standard energy

- efficient products and/or services for commercial buildings and/or industrial manufacturing facilities/plants in the United States.

.3

 Energy

Efficiency

Program Sponsor (EEPS) Partners. This participant group includes regulated utilities, publicly owned utilities, and energy delivery companies; national, regional, State, or local government entities; and other organizations involved in coordinating and/or administering energy

- efficiency or environmental education programs that promote ENERGY STAR, including ENERGY STAR Certified commercial and industrial buildings. Inaddition, Partners, State and local government entities, associations, and any other interested party

can help EPA promote energy efficiency . For example, Partners and other interested parties can benchmark individual buildings by using EPA’s on

- line benchmarking tool, Portfolio Manager, and apply for the ENERGY STAR. I f they can demonstrate and verify that an individual building meets the criteria for qualifyi ng for the ENERGY STAR, they will receive an ENERGY STAR decal that they can display

on the building. Small businesses can also sign up to work with ENERGY STAR. The following paragraphs describe the information collections applicable to these groups. **JOINING THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES**  Organizations interested in joining ENERGY STAR may be asked to submit a L etter or Agreement describing their commitment to promoting energy efficiency . They

also may be asked or encouraged to under take related activities, as described below. **Commercial and Industrial Sector Partners** Inorder to join ENERGY STAR , organizations in the commercial and industrial sectors are asked to complete and submit a Partnership L etter to EPA. These Partners agre e to measure and track the energy

performance of their organization’s facilities where possible by using tools such as those offered through ENERGY STAR; develop and implement a plan consistent with the ENERGY STAR Energy Management Guidelines to achieve energy savings; help spread the word about the importance of energy efficiency

to their staff and community ; and highlight their achievements with recognition offered through ENERGY STAR. **Service and Product Providers** Eligible organizations must meet certain requirements before applying to become an ENERGY STAR SPP Partner. Applicants must demonstrate that they have actively

used the ENERGY STAR approach to help clients achieve their energy management goals as specified. For example, SPPs serving the e xisting commercial buildings market must benchmark at least 10 client commercial buildings in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and/or earn the ENERGY STAR certification for at least one client commercial building in the last 12 months using Portf

olio Manager and meeting other program requirements.4

SPPs interested in joining ENERGY STAR complete and submit a Partnership Agreement to EPA using an online system . The Partnership Agreement requests SPP company information, contact information, and select pieces of information to enable automated verification that partnership requirements have been met. The Partnership Agreement also lays out Partner commitments, disclaimers, procedures for dispute resolution, and other issues. On an annual basis, SPPs may be asked to update contact information (i.e. contact name, phone, email) displayed on select Service and Product Provider listings on the W eb site and to maintain quality

of contact mailing lists. Once the organization has been admitted into th e SPP program, it is expected to maintain a minimum level of activity to continue to be recognized in online listings. For example, e xisting commercial buildings SPP Partners must maintain at least 10 buildings benchmarked in the most recent 12

- month peri od or serve as the primary SPP in helping at least one customer commercial building to earn the ENERGY STAR in the most recent 12 month period. Inaddition, the SPP Partner will work with ENERGY STAR to improve the energy performance of customer commercial building portfolios, promote energy efficiency

in commercial building design, and assist industrial manufacturing customers in adopting a continuous improvement strategy for corporate

- wide energy management. In delivering its services and/or products , when appropriate, the SPP will use ENERGY STAR tools and messages to help improve customer energy performance as specified. **Energy Efficiency Program Sponsors** EEPS interested in joining ENERGY STAR are asked to complete and submit a Partnership Agre ement. They commit to promote and use ENERGY STAR in a manner consistent with the national ENERGY STAR efforts and specifically agree to follow all applicable terms and conditions governing the use of the ENERGY STAR logos, which are registered trade and service marks. They also commit to submit and periodically update a brief plan outlining the key

activities they

intend to undertake to cooperatively promote ENERGY STAR in the commercial and/or industrial markets. Some Partner s will be asked on an annual basis to update organization and contact information displayed on the ENERGY STAR Web site and the Directory

of Energy

Efficiency

Programs (DEEP). If promoting ENERGY STAR in the commercial market, the EEPS agree to collaborate with ENERGY STAR to imp rove the energy performance of their customers’ buildings and portfolios. I f promoting ENERGY STAR in the industrial market, the EEPS agree to collaborate with ENERGY STAR to assist industry in adopting a continuous improvement strategy for corporate
- wide energy

management.5

**Small Business Network** A small business may

join the Network of small businesses working with ENERGY STAR. To join, they

would provide requested information at EPA’s ENERGY STAR Web site

. They would pledge to buy

ENERGY STAR equipm ent and upgrade the energy efficiency

of their facilities whenever financially viable. As part of the Network, they may use the ENERGY STAR promotional mark in accordance with the ENERGY STAR identity guidelines. **BENCHMARKING** Assessing energy

use is a c ritical component of the ENERGY STAR Program and guidance provided by

EPA to Partner s. EPA provides tools to track, measure and compare energy use for a range of building ty pes and facilities. Portfolio Manager is the primary tool for undertaking these activities and is available on

- line, although for specific industry ty pes, spreadsheet calculators may be provided. **Portfolio Manager** Portfolio Manager is an interactive energy management tool that allows users to track and assess energy

and water consumption across their entire portfolio of facilities in a secure online environment. Users enter energy consumption and cost data into their Portfolio Manager account to benchmark facility

energy performance, assess energy management goals over time and identify strategic opportunities for savings and recognition opportunities. A “benchmark” is defined as a measurement of a facility ’s energy performance resulting from entering facility information and at least 1 2 consecutive months of facility energy data into EPA’s Portfolio Manager. Portfolio Manager offers multiple ty pes of benchmarks: the 1

- 100 ENERGY STAR p erformance score for select commercial facility ty pes , site and source Energy Use Intensity (EUI) for all commercial facility ty pes , weather normal ized energy values, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and annual energy and water costs

. The ENERGY STAR scale accounts for the impacts of year - to
- ye ar weather variations, as well as facility

size, location, and several operating characteristi cs. Portfolio Manager helps the user update and track data over time to continuously monitor performance. The user can use both short and long term trends in energy performance to make budget and management decisions regarding investments in energy

- relat ed projects. Inaddition, EPA intends to collect information from Portfolio Manager users on its usability as a Web

- based tool and on the effectiveness of Portfolio Manager guidance. Based on this information, EPA will identify and make needed improvements. **ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator and Related Systems** EPA gives industrial companies the opportunity to measure the energy

efficiency

of their plants. To measure efficiency and improve energy

use in the company, a company enters basic6

inform ation about its plant (e.g., energy consumption data) into a spreadsheet tool called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI), which can be downloaded from EPA’s ENERGY STAR W eb site . The EPIproduces a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- efficient plants in the specific industry and to the previous performance for the plant. Inaddition, EPA encourages industrial companies not otherwise eligible to use the EPI to track and improve their energy performance. EPA has established a tool , the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, which encourages such companies to track their energy performance using alternative systems, such as the company ’s in

- house tracking systems, Portfolio Manager, or a spread sheet

- based tra cking tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR W eb site called the ENERGY STAR Energy Tracking Tool (ETT). C ompanies enter basic information into the system to track their performance. Companies are invited to use the EPI and ETT for internal tracking and management purposes to benefit their business. Usage of these tools and resulting outputs need not be reported to EPA. Only

when companies choose to apply for EPA recognition are they required to provide information to meet verification requirements. **Data Collection for Model Development and Beta Testing** EPA expects to increase the number of facility ty pes that can receive the 1

- 100 ENERGY STAR score in Portfolio Manager or in plant Energy Performance Indicators (EPI s) and therefore would be eli gible to earn the ENERGY STAR certification . EPA may collect information from participating organizations to build an historical account of energy use for new or revised facility ty pe analysis. EPA may

ask for information about energy use, facility

chara cteristics, and other parameters that will help to add or revise the energy performance scale of facility ty pes. EPA also may collect information to test the energy performance scale model to ensure that it produces relevant results. **RECOGNITION ENERGY**  **STAR Certification**  Buildings EPA offers the public an opportunity to display

the ENERGY STAR on their buildings if they meet certain energy

performance criteria defined by EPA. The on

- line application for the ENERGY STAR is submitted through EPA’s benchmarking tool, Portfolio Manager. Eligible buildings with benchmark scores of 75 or higher may submit information to EPA to apply for the ENERGY STAR. The on

- line application consists of a Data Checklist, and L etter of Agreement (LOA). To be approved to receive the ENERGY STAR, buildings must meet specific eligibility requirements as well as industry standards for comfort and indoor air quality . A Professional7

Engineer or Registered Architect must verify that these requirements have been met and complete a Data Checklist (stamped/embossed and signed)

. EPA encourages Certified Buildings to submit building profiles for publication on the ENERGY STAR Web site to educate the public and promote their achievements. These profiles are not required for certifi cation, but are pursued voluntarily by about 10% of Certified Building s. Inaddition, EPA intends to conduct periodic audits of ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings for quality

control purposes either remotely or through a site visit . EPA may confirm, for ex ample, the accuracy of the information provided in the application for the ENERGY STAR, and may

request facility

documentation. EPA also expects to periodically contact representatives of buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR to collect information a bout the characteristics of buildings that lead to top energy performance. This includes information on the buildings’ construction, equipment used in the buildings, building management, and involvement in ENERGY STAR . EPA will use this information to be tter understand the specific design, construction, and operating characteristics of ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings and how these characteristics contributed to the buildings’ top energy

performance. In addition, EPA intends to collect information about the qualification process to measure how easy it is for organizations to use. EPA needs this information to identify and make improvements to the process that buildings use to qualify for the ENERGY STAR

. Plants In dustrial companies have an opportunity t o earn the ENERGY STAR certification for specific ty

pes of plants that meet EPA’s energy efficiency

criteria. I f the plant’s EPI score is in the top quartile of the industry ’s energy performance scale , the company can choose to apply for the ENERGY STAR c ertification by printing out a Statement of Energy Performance (SEP) . A Professional Engineer (PE) verifies, signs, and stamps the SEP document. The certified SEP along with the completed EPI and letter are then sent to EPA. I f the submittal contains conf idential business information (CBI), the company will send the information to EPA’s contractor to verify

energy performance results. I f approved by EPA, the plant receives the ENERGY STAR certification

. EPA also asks plants that receive the ENERGY STAR c ertification to submit plant p rofile s that describe how the plant improved its energy performance and obtained recognition. Submission of p lant p rofiles is optional. **ENERGY STAR Leaders** As part of the Partnership L etter, organizations commit to continuo us improvement. To track Partners’ progress against their goal, EPA provides organizations recognition incentives to8

meet specific targets. This follows the Partnership L etter and includes that they track and benchmark all of the eligible buildings in th eir portfolio, and notify EPA of this accomplishment by submitting the following qualification documents: L etter of Qualification, Facility Summary Report, Facility

List, and L eaders Story . Organizations also respond to EPA questions to determine if they are eligible to receive Leaders recognition . This information is entered on - line in Portfolio Manager . EPA will review this information and recognize these participants as ENERGY STAR L eaders if they qualify

. EPA does not mandate reporting but only aw ards Leaders recognition to Partners who have achieved energy

improvement in 10 percent increments or a portfolio average score of 75 or greater and inform EPA by submitting the qualification documents. **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry** EPA has esta

blished a tool , the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, which encourages companies to pledge to reduce the energy intensity of their sites by

10 percent within 5 years and track their progress towards this goal using a tracking system (e.g., company in

- hou se tracking system, Portfolio Manager , ETT ). Sites that achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity within 5 ye ars of their baseline have the opportunity to apply for recognition from EPA. The company must register the site’s baseline with EPA usi ng an online form . The site can then complete an online recognition application and print out a Statement of Energy Improvement (SEI) . A Professional Engineer (PE) verifies, signs, and stamps the SEI . Then certified document is then sent to EPA. If appro ved by EPA, the site receives recognition (e.g., a certificate , congratulatory

letter t o the CEO ). EPA also asks plants that achieve the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry to submit a p lant p rofile that describes how they reduced their energy

intensity and obtained recognition , which EPA then posts on its Web site to educate the public. Submission of plant profiles is optional. **Statement of Energy Design Intent** Architecture firms can display the “Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR” graphic to distinguish their projects as among the nation’s best in energy performance. To apply

for the graphic, the Architect of Record (AOR) must be an ENERGY STAR Partner. The Architect of Record (AOR) AOR would enter basic information into an EPA software tool that can be downloaded accessed from the ENERGY STAR Web site called Target Finder to obtain an EPA energy performance score for the design project. The user would then print the Statement of Energy Design Intent (SEDI) from Target Finder. The statement must be se aled (stamped) and signed by a licensed professional (registered architect or professional engineer) designated by the AOR. The AOR also must complete submit an Application L etters of Intent (L OI); include one for each the AOR and the Building Owner. As part of the L OIfrom the AOR L etter, the AOR states that the firm agrees to collaborate with EPA on a case study (if requested) about the project’s design energy

use strategies and goals, to be posted on the ENERGY STAR Web site.9

The Owner LOI must be printe d on owner’s letterhead; include date and signature of C

- level official (CEO, COO, or CFO). Note: The AOR is responsible for securing the L OIfrom building owner and submitting original application documents to EPA. The AOR would submit the SEDIand Ap plication L etters of Intent to EPA. EPA would send (email) instructions for the AOR to download the graphic, which can be displayed in the title block of project drawings and on other project documents specific to the project. **ENERGY STAR Awards** Organizations interested in receiving recognition for their efforts in improving their energy performance may

apply for an ENERGY STAR Award. EPA currently issues awards to Commercial and Industrial Sector Partners, Service and Product Providers, and Energy Effic iency

Program Sponsors. **National Building Competition** Through the ENERGY STAR National Building Competition, commercial building owners and managers have the opportunity to be recognized for improving energy efficiency

over the competition period. To participate, owners and managers track and benchmark the energy use of their buildings in Portfolio Manager for the 12 months prior to the beginning of the competition. During the call for applications, they access the application online and submit a Data Release Report to EPA, which is automatically generated by

the tool. I f accepted into the competition, the organization then commits to benchmarking competing buildings for another 12 months, submitting a midpoint Data Release Report after six months, and a final Data Release Report at the end of the year. EPA will review this information, contact participants to ask questions if needed, and recognize participants at the end of the competition if they meet selected criteria. Teams from commercial buildings participating in the competition are encouraged to submit documentation of their energy efficiency

efforts through social media outlets. Some competitors who have previously been recognized by

EPA may

be asked to deliver short presentations during month ly networking webinars. Participants that qualify

for recognition submit a data verification report to EPA to ensure accurate results.10

**2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION**  **2(a) Need and Authority for the Collection**  ENERGY STAR is authorized under section 103(g) of the Clean Air Act. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 further provides authorization to EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a voluntary program to identify

and promote energy

- efficient products and buildings in order to reduc e energy consumption, improve energy security, and reduce pollution through voluntary certification of, or other forms of communication about, products and buildings that meet the highest energy conservation standards. ENERGY STAR is a voluntary program aimed at preventing pollution rather than controlling it after its creation. The program focuses on reducing utility

- generated emissions by reducing the demand for energy

. Attesting to the importance of ENERGY STAR, a growing number of State and local gov ernments have enacted legislation, policies and programs to promote the use of ENERGY STAR in commercial and government buildings. For example, New York City requires the use of Portfolio Manager for mandatory reporting and public disclosure of commercial building energy use
– building owners submit their data to New York City on an annual basis. L egislation in the State of California requires electric and gas utilities to maintain and make available to building owners the energy consumption data of all n onresidential buildings in a format compatible for uploading to EPA’s Portfolio Manager. It also requires that a nonresidential building owner or operator disclose Portfolio Manager benchmarking data and scores to a prospective buyer as part of a whole

- bui lding transaction. In addition, many other States (e.g., Hawaii, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin) have established requirements and incentives for commercial and/or government buildings to benchmark their energy

use in Portfolio Manager. For additional information on State and local government actions, refer to following Web site : http://www.energystar.gov/ia/business/go vernment/State_L ocal_Govts_L everaging_ES.pdf

. **JOINING THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES Partnership Letter or Agreement/Related Activities**  EPA needs to collect initial information from organizations to formally establish their Partnership in the ENERGY STAR Program. The Partnership L etter is submitted by organizations in the C&I

Sector that commit to adopting an energy strategy and making energy reductions to protect the environment. The Partnership L etter provides EPA with basic yet nece ssary information on the organizations (e.g., contact information). To be eligible to become an SPP Partner, an organization must meet certain requirements as specified. For example, SPPs serving the existing commercial buildings market must benchm ark at least 10 buildings for client commercial buildings in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and/or earn the ENERGY STAR certification for at least one client11

commercial building in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and meeting other program requirements. These eligibility requirements serve as minimum qualification standards so that EPA Partner s with and promotes only those organizations well

- versed in ENERGY STAR resources and which are truly committed to ENERGY STAR principles and strategies. SPPs and EEPS submit an online Partnership Agreement to join ENERGY STAR. The Partnership Agreement provides basic yet necessary information on the organizations, and it holds organizations accountable for using the ENERGY STAR L ogo in accordan ce with applicable ENERGY STAR requirements. Through the Partnership Agreement, SPPs and EEPS also commit to undertaking specified information collection activities. SPPs also are asked to provide information that helps EPA to determine whether an appli cant meets requirements for partnership and allows EPA to maintain a listing of the most active SPP Partners. These SPP Partners are expected to maintain a minimum level of activity to continue to be recognized in online listings. EEPS submit a brief p lan outlining key activities that they

plan to undertake to cooperatively

promote ENERGY STAR in the commercial and/or industrial markets so that EPA can ensure that these activities align with ENERGY STAR ’s goals and purposes. EPA encourages annual updat es to ensure that its Web site and Directory of Energy

Efficiency Programs provides the public with up

- to
- date information. The EEPS will collaborate with ENERGY STAR to help their customers and industry measure and improve the energy performance of their buildings and portfolios. **Small Business Network** EPA needs to collect information from small businesses to be able to send “Welcome Aboard” materials and provide them with quarterly educational email updates. **BENCHMARKING Portfolio Manager**  Any organ ization may

use Portfolio Manager to evaluate its building’s energy performance. Portfolio Manager is an interactive energy management tool that allows users to track and assess energy

and water consumption across their entire portfolio of facilities in a secure online environment. Users enter energy consumption and cost data into their Portfolio Manager account to benchmark facility energy performance, assess energy management goals over time and identify

strategic opportunities for savings and recogniti on opportunities. This information is needed to assist users in improving their energy performance. Inaddition, EPA intends to collect information from Portfolio Manager users on its usability as a Web

- based tool and on the effectiveness of guidance. This information is needed for EPA to make needed improvements to the tool and guidance.12

**ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator and Related Systems** EPA gives industrial companies the opportunity to measure the energy

efficiency

of their plants and earn recognition for superior performance . To measure efficiency and improve energy use in the company, a company enters basic information about its plant (e.g., energy consumption data) into a spreadsheet tool called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI), which can be downloaded from EPA’s ENERGY STAR Web site . The EPI s produce a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- efficient plants in the industry and to the previous performance for the particular plant. In addition, EPA has established a tool , the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, which encourages companies to track their energy performance using an energy tracking system, such as Portfolio Manager, a spread sheet

- based tracking tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site called the ENERGY STAR Energy

Tracking Tool (ETT) , or the company ’s internal tracking system . Information is entered into these tools to enable industrial plants to analy ze and improve their energy performance , and seek recognition for improvements

. **Data Collection for Model Development and Beta Testing** EPA needs to collect information in the development of new facility ty pes in Portfolio Manager or new Energy

Performance Indicator s (EPI s ) . EPA will collect information from participating organizations in order to build an historical account of energy use for new or revised facility

ty pe analysis. EPA may

ask for information about energy use, building characteristics, and other parameters that will help to add or revise the energy performance scale of facility ty pes. To beta test the accuracy of the analysis, EPA will collect information from participating organizations to test the model to ensure it produces relevant results. **RECOGNITION ENERGY STAR**  **Certification** Buildi ngs EPA offers the public an opportunity to display

the ENERGY STAR on their buildings if they meet certain energy

performance criteria defined by EPA. The on

- line application for the ENERGY STAR is submitted through EPA’s benchmarking tool, Portfolio Ma nager. Eligible buildings with benchmark scores of 75 or higher may submit information to EPA to apply for the ENERGY STAR. The on

- line application consists of a Data Checklist, and L etter of Agreement (LOA). To be approved to receive the ENERGY STAR, b uildings must meet specific eligibility requirements as well as industry standards for comfort and indoor air quality . A Professional Engineer or Registered Architect must verify that these requirements have been met and complete a Data Checklist (stamped /embossed and signed) . These materials are necessary to demonstrate to EPA that energy

- efficiency improvements have been achieved.13

EPA encourages Certified Buildings to submit building profiles for publication on the ENERGY STAR Web site to educate the public and promote their achievements. These profiles are not required for certification, but are pursued voluntarily by about 10% of Certified Building s. Inaddition, EPA intends to conduct periodic audits of ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings for quality control purposes either remotely or through a visit . EPA may confirm, for example, the accuracy

of the information provided in the application for the ENERGY STAR, and may request facility

documentation. This information is needed to help EPA maintain quality control on the buildings that qualify for the ENERGY STAR. EPA also expects to periodically contact representatives of buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR to collect information about the characteristics of buildings that lead to top energy performance. This includes information on the buildings’ construction, equipment used in the buildings, building management, and involvement in ENERGY STAR . EPA will use this information to better understand the specific design, construction, and operating characteristics of ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings and how these characteristics contributed to the buildings’ top energy

performance. In addition, EPA intends to collect information about the qualification process to measure how easy it is for organiz ations to use. EPA needs this information to identify and make improvements to the process that buildings use to qualify for the ENERGY STAR

. Plants In dustrial companies have an opportunity to earn the ENERGY STAR certification for specific ty

pes of plants that meet EPA’s energy efficiency

criteria. I f the plant’s EPI score is in the top quartile of the industry ’s energy performance scale , the company can choose to apply for the ENERGY STAR certification by inputting the necessary data in to the EPIand printing out the corresponding Statement of Energy Performance (SEP) . A Professional Engineer (PE) verifies, signs, and stamps the SEP, and the EPI , certified SEP and a letter are sent to EPA. I f the submittal contains confidential business information (CBI), the company sends the information to EPA’s contractor to verify energy performance results. EPA needs this information to evaluate whether the plant should receive recognition. I f approved by EPA, the plant receives the ENERGY STAR certification

. This recognition encourage s industrial companies to improve their plants’ energy

performance.14

**ENERGY STAR Leaders** As part of the Partnership L etter, organizations commit to continuous improvement. To track Partners’ progress against their goal, EPA provides organizations recognition incentives. This follows the Partnership L etter and includes that they track and benchmark all of the eligible buildings in their portfolio, and notify EPA of this accomplishment by submitting the following qualification documents: L etter of Qualification, Facility Summary

Report, Facility

List, and Leaders Story . Organizations also respond to EPA questions to determine if they are eligible to receive Leader s recognition . This information is entered on - line in Portfolio M anager . EPA will review this information and recognize these participants as ENERGY STAR Leaders if they qualify . This recognition is needed to encourage further energy performance improvements. **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry** EPA has established a tool , the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, which encourages such companies to pledge to reduce the energy intensity of their sites by

10 percent within 5 years and track their progress towards this goal using a tracking system (e.g., company in

- house tracking systems, Portfolio Manager , ETT ). Sites that achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity within 5 ye ars of their baseline have the opportunity to apply for recognition from EPA. The company must register the site’s baseline with EPA usin g an online form . The site can then complete an online recognition application and print out a Statement of Energy Improvement (SEI) . A Professional Engineer (PE) verifies, signs, and stamps the SEI . The certified document is then sent to EPA. EPA needs this information to evaluate whether the plant should receive recognition. This recognition encourage s industrial plants to reduce their energy usage and strive for continuous improvement

. **Statement of Energy Design Intent** Organizations (Architect of Rec ord) may submit the Statement of Energy Design Intent to EPA to earn recognition. EPA needs the SEDI to confirm the energy

performance of their design and recognize these organizations on the EPA Web site . In addition, these organizations can display the graphic, “Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR,” on architectural plans and other specified documents. This recognition promotes the image of these organizations as leaders in the design of energy

efficient buildings. Information on the Web site is needed t o educate architecture/engineering firms and the general public on best practices for designing energy efficient buildings. **ENERGY STAR Awards** Organizations apply

for ENERGY STAR Awards to gain public recognition for exemplary

energy performance. In thi s regard, the awards program is needed to provide an incentive for organizations to seek greater energy performance improvements by acknowledging organizations with high performing portfolios

.15

**National Building Competition** Through the ENERGY STAR Natio nal Building Competition, commercial building owners, managers and tenants have the opportunity to be recognized for improving energy efficiency over the competition period. To participate, owners, managers and tenants track and benchmark the energy

use of their buildings in Portfolio Manager for the 12 months prior to the beginning of the competition. During the call for applications, they access the application online and submit a Data Release Report to EPA, which is automatically generated by

the tool. I f accepted into the competition, the organization then commits to benchmarking competing buildings for another 12 months, submitting a midpoint Data Release Report after six months, and a final Data Release Report at the end of the year. EPA will review th is information, contact participants to ask questions if needed, and recognize participants at the end of the competition if they meet selected criteria. Teams from commercial buildings participating in the competition are encouraged to submit documentation of their energy efficiency

efforts through social media outlets. Some competitors who have previously been recognized by

EPA may

be asked to deliver short presentations during monthly networking webinars. Participants that qualify

for recognition su

bmit a data verification report to EPA to ensure accurate results. This recognition is needed to demonstrate the potential for improving energy efficiency

in the commercial marketplace, raise awareness and educate building occupants and consumers about saving energy, and encourage further energy performance improvements. **2(b) Practical Utility and Users of the Data**  **JOINING THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES Partnership Letter or Agreement/Related Activities**  EPA uses information submitted in the Partnership L etter or Agreement to officially establish an organization’s participation in ENERGY STAR . Organizations’ data from the L etter or Agreement are entered into the iSTAR database to serve as a source of general information and as a mailing l ist. EPA uses the information submitted by Partners for a variety

of program implementation purposes. For example, EPA uses information in the Service and Product Provider Partnership Application to develop and maintain the Most Active Service and Produc t Providers listing

. EPA uses the brief plan collected from the EEPS to ensure that their activities and materials align with the goals and purposes of ENERGY STAR . EPA uses annual updates from EEPS to ensure that its Web site provides the public with up

- to
- date information.16

**Small Business Network** EPA uses the information provided by small businesses to send them useful information (e.g., their email address enables EPA to send quarterly ENERGY STAR E

- updates). **BENCHMARKING Portfolio Manager**  Any organization may

use Portfolio Manager to evaluate its building’s energy performance. Portfolio Manager is an interactive energy management tool that allows users to track and assess energy

and water consumption across their entire portfolio of facilities in a secure online environment. Users enter energy consumption and cost data into their Portfolio Manager account to benchmark facility energy performance, assess energy management goals over time and identify

strategic opportunities for savings and recognition opportunities. This information helps users in improving their energy performance. Inaddition, EPA intends to collect information from Portfolio Manager users on its usability as a Web

- based tool and on the effectiveness of guidance. This information is used by EPA to make needed improvements to the tool and guidance. **ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator and Related Systems** EPA gives industrial companies the opportunity to measure the energy

efficiency

of their plants and earn recognition for superior energy performance . To measure efficiency and improve energy use in the company, a company enters basic information about its plant (e.g., energy consumption data) into a spreadsheet tool called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI), which c an be downloaded from EPA’s ENERGY STAR Web site . The EPIproduces a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- efficient plants in the industry and to the previous performance for the plant. In addition, EPA has established a tool , the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, which encourages plants that are not eligible to use the EPI to track their energy performance using a tracking system, such as Portfolio Manager, a spread sheet

- based tracking tool that can be do wnloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site called the ENERGY STAR Energy Tracking Tool (ETT) , or a company ’s in

- house tracking system . Industrial plants use these tools and the resulting outputs to analy ze and improve their energy performance. **Data Collectio n for Model Development and Beta Testing**  EPA will use the information gathered during the data collection to build a database of information for benchmarking of a specific facility

- use ty pe. The information will be used in developing and expanding the Po rtfolio Manager tool or Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) downloadable spreadsheet tools for facility ty pes and conducting beta testing of the models.17

**RECOGNITION ENERGY STAR**  **Certification** Buildings EPA offers the public an opportunity to display

the ENERGY STAR on their buildings if they meet certain energy

performance criteria defined by EPA. The on

- line application for the ENERGY STAR is submitted through EPA’s benchmarking tool, Portfolio Manager. Eligible buildings with benchmark scores of 75 or higher may submit information to EPA to apply for the ENERGY STAR. The on

- line application consists of a Data Checklist, and L etter of Agreement (LOA). To be approved to receive the ENERGY STAR, buildings must meet specific eligibility requirements as w ell as industry standards for comfort and indoor air quality . A Professional Engineer or Registered Architect must verify that these requirements have been met and complete a Data Checklist (stamped/embossed and signed) . The applicant uses this informati on to demonstrate to EPA that energy

- efficiency improvements have been achieved. EPA enco urages Certified Buildings to submit building profiles for publication on the ENERGY STAR Web site to educate the public and promote their achievements. These profil es are not required for certification, but are pursued voluntarily by about 10% of Certified Building s. Inaddition, EPA may

need to collect information from ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings as part of the periodic audit process. This information is used to help EPA verify the energy performance of ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings and maintain quality control on them. EPA also expects to periodically contact representatives of buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR to collect information about the characteristics of buildings that lead to top energy performance. This includes information on the buildings’ construction, equipment used in the buildings, building management, and involvement in ENERGY STAR . EPA will use this information to better underst and the specific design, construction, and operating characteristics of ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings and how these characteristics contributed to the buildings’ top energy

performance. In addition, EPA intends to collect information about the qualification process to measure how easy it is for organizations to use. EPA will use this information to identify and make improvements to the process that buildings use to qualify for the ENERGY STAR. Plants In dustrial companies have an opportunity to earn th e ENERGY STAR certification for specific ty

pes of plants that meet EPA’s energy efficiency

criteria. I f the plant’s EPI score is in the top quartile of the industry ’s energy performance scale , the company can choose to apply for18

the ENERGY STAR certification inputting the necessary data in to the EPIand then printing out a Statement of Energy

Performance (SEP) . A Professional Engineer (PE) verifies, signs , and stamps the SEP. The certified SEP and a letter are sent to EPA. I f the submittal contains con fidential business information (CBI), the company sends the information to EPA’s contractor to verify energy performance results. I f approved by EPA, the plant receives the ENERGY STAR certification . EPA recognition enhances the image of the organization as a national leader in energy performance. Inaddition, EPA may

ask companies to submit a plant profile, which the Agency posts at its Web site to educate the public. Submission of a plant profile is optional. **ENERGY STAR Leaders** As part of the Partnership L etter, organizations commit to continuous improvement. To track Partners’ progress against their goal, EPA provides organizations recognition incentives. This follows the Partnership L etter and includes that they track and benchmark all of the e ligible buildings in their portfolio, and notify EPA of this accomplishment by submitting the following qualification documents: L etter of Qualification, Facility Summary

Report, Facility

List, and Leaders Story . Organizations also respond to EPA question s to determine if they are eligible to receive Leaders recognition . This information is entered on - line in Portfolio Manager . The purpose of this information is to allow the Agency to track and evaluate Partner progress in improving its energy

performanc e and to recognize Partner accomplishments. **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry** EPA has established a tool , the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, which encourages such companies to pledge to reduce the energy intensity of their sites by

10 percent wi thin 5 years and track their progress towards this goal using a tracking system (e.g., company in

- house tracking system, Portfolio Manager , ETT ). Sites that achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity within 5 ye ars of their baseline have the oppor tunity to apply for recognition from EPA. The company must register the site’s baseline with EPA using an online form. The site can then complete an online recognition application and print out a Statement of Energy Improvement (SEI) . A Professional Engin eer (PE) verifies, signs, and stamps the SEI which is then sent to EPA. EPA uses this information to evaluate whether the plant should receive recognition. Inaddition, EPA may

ask companies to submit a plant profile , which the Agency posts at its Web site to educate the public. Submission of a plant profile is optional. **Statement of Energy Design Intent** Organizations (Architect of Record) may submit the Statement of Energy Design Intent to EPA to earn recognition. EPA uses the SEDI to confirm the energy

performance of their design and recognize these organizations on the EPA Web site . This recognition can enhance their19

image by demonstrating their commitment to helping building owners make better decisions about energy

performance in their new co mmercial construction projects. Information at the Web site also can assist interested parties to learn best practices for designing energy efficient buildings. **ENERGY STAR Awards** Organizations apply

for ENERGY STAR Awards to gain public recognition for exemplary

energy performance. In this regard, EPA holds the awards program to provide an incentive for organizations to seek greater energy performance improvements by acknowledging organizations with high performing portfolios

. **National Building Compet ition**  Through the ENERGY STAR National Building Competition, commercial building owners , managers and tenants have the opportunity to be recognized for improving energy efficiency over the competition period. To p articipate, owners, managers and tenants track and benchmark the energy

use of their buildings in Portfolio Manager for the 12 months prior to the beginning of the competition. During the call for applications, they access the application online and submit a Data Release Report to EPA, which is a utomatically

generated by

the tool. I f accepted into the competition, the organization then commits to benchmarking competing buildings for another 12 months, submitting a midpoint Data Release Report after six months, and a final Data Release Report at th e end of the year. EPA will review this information, contact participants to ask questions if needed, and recognize participants at the end of the competition if they meet selected criteria. Teams from commercial buildings participating in the competiti on are encouraged to submit documentation of their energy efficiency

efforts through social media outlets. Some competitors who have previously been recognized by

EPA may

be asked to deliver short presentations during monthly networking webinars. Participants that qualify

for recognition submit a data verification report to EPA to ensure accurate results. The Agency

uses this information to track and evaluate competitors’ progress in improving their energy

performance and to recognize accomplishments.20

**3. NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION**  **CRITERIA 3(a)**  **Nonduplication** The information collected under this I CR is not collected by any other EPA office or by any other Federal agency . Therefore, there is not a potential for duplication wi th other Federal collections. **3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB**  Incompliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, EPA solicited public comments on this I CR through an announcement in the Federal Register on August 2 , 20 12 (7 7 FR 46089 ). No comments were received. **3(c) Consultations**  On August 9, 2012, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a memorandum directing agencies to engage in advance testing of information collections, including Federal forms . Advanc e testing must be used to the extent feasible and appropriate, especially for complex or lengthy

forms. Such advance testing should occur either before proposing information collections to the public or during the public co mment period required by the Pap erwork Reduction Act (PRA)

. OMB identified several purposes for advance testing of forms:

 Ensure that they are not unnecessarily

complex, burdensome, or confusing ;  Obtain the best available information about the likely burdens on members of the public ; and  Id entify

ways to reduce burdens and increase simplification and ease of comprehension. Under the ENERGY STAR program, EPA carefully evaluates each proposed information collection to ensure it satisfies applicable PRA criteria and achieves the purpose s summarized above. As an initial matter, EPA determines whether each proposed collection is necessary (e.g., does it provide meaningful and essential information that cannot be obtained from another source?). I f the collection is deemed necessary and us eful, the Agency

will design the collection to ensure information quality while minimizing burden and complexity on the public. For example, EPA has been increasingly offering electronic methods for information submittal under ENERGY STAR. The informatio n collections under ENERGY STAR include user instructions in plain English and other tools to simplify completion (e.g., simple checklists), and many of the electronic collections offer additional user assistance (drop

- down menus, pre

- populated forms, etc. ).21

EPA also use s advance testing, particularly for complex or lengthy

forms. Advance testing will be coordinated with the 60

- day notice and comment period already required under the PRA. Inaddition , EPA may collect feedback through the following metho ds among others (which will be performed in compliance with the PRA, as applicable):

 Focus groups;  Pre
- tests (e.g., mail out the draft form with a few questions on usability and burden); and/or  Web

- based questions. For purposes of this I CR, EPA has care fully reviewed all of the forms submitted and determined that th is submission does not include any complex or lengthy

forms that warrant advance testing. They

are relatively

straight

- forward and, to the greatest extent practicable, incorporate the feature s described above to reduce burden, improve information quality, and simplify implementation. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection**  EPA has carefully

considered the information collection burden imposed by the ENERGY STAR Program. EPA is confident th at those activities requested of respondents are necessary, and to the extent possible, the Agency has attempted to minimize the burden imposed. A number of the requested activities, for example, will be performed once (e.g., one

- time submittal of Partners hip L etter or Agreement). In addition, respondents can satisfy many of the collections in this I CR by submitting readily

available information. For example, users of Portfolio Manager are asked to enter energy use data (e.g., data from their energy bills ). EPA believes strongly

that, if the information collections in this I CR are not performed at the requested frequency, EPA’s ability to implement the ENERGY STAR Program and the public’s ability to benefit from the program’s tools and resources could be hampered significantly

. **3(e) General Guidelines**  In formation collections performed under this clearance will follow all of OMB’s General Guidelines regarding Federal data collection. EPA intends to omit the expiration date from all forms being submitted f or OMB review in this I CR. The information collected on the forms is modified infrequently . When modifications to the forms do occur, they normally involve changes that do not affect respondent burden (e.g., changes to wording and/or format). Under the 1995 Paperwork Reduction Act, a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.22

Because there are many

forms under this I CR, updating their expiration date every three ye ars (i.e ., each time this I CR is renewed) would create unnecessary burdens for both EPA and those who complete them . Since inclusion of the expiration date on the forms in these circumstances provides little to no value for the public, EPA intends to omit it from the forms under this I CR. **3(f) Confidentiality**  Participation in the ENERGY STAR Program is voluntary and may be terminated by participants or EPA at any time. I f a claim of confidential business information (CBI) is asserted, EPA will manage that infor mation in accordance with EPA’s provisions on confidentiality . 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B establishes EPA’s general policy on the public disclosure of information and procedures for handling CBIclaims. **3(g) Sensitive Questions**  No questions of a sensitive nature are asked of participants with ENERGY STAR.23

**4. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED**  **4(a) Respondents and SIC/NAICS Codes**  The following is a list of Standard Industrial Classification (SI C) codes, North American In dustrial Classification System (NAI CS) codes, and associated industries that may be affected by information collections covered under this I CR for the ENERGY STAR Program. Note that, at the end of this list, EPA has included a number of NAI CS codes that do not have a corresponding SI C code. EPA has included an asterisk in the SI C code column to indicate that no corresponding SI C code exists. **SIC Industries**  **NAICS** 742 Veterinary

use is a critical component of the ENERGY STAR Program and guidance provided by

EPA to Partner s. EPA provides tools to track, measure and compare energy use for a range of building ty pes and facilities. Portfolio Manager is the primary tool for undertaking these activities and is available on

- line, although for specific industry ty pes, spreadsheet calculators may be provided. **Portfolio Manager** Portfolio Manager is an interactive energy management tool that allows users to track and assess energy

and water consumption across their entire portfolio of facilities in a secure online environment. Users enter energy consumption and cost data into th eir Portfolio Manager account to benchmark facility

energy performance, assess energy management goals over time and identify strategic opportunities for savings and recognition opportunities. A “benchmark” is defined as a measurement of a facility ’s energy performance resulting from entering facility information and at least 1 2 consecutive months of facility energy data into EPA’s Portfolio Manager. Portfolio Manager offers multiple ty pes of benchmarks: the 1

- 100 ENERGY STAR energy performance score for select commercial facility ty pes, site and source Energy Use Intensity (EUI) for all commercial facility ty pes, weather normalized energy values, greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and annual energy and water costs. The ENERGY STAR scale accounts for the impacts of year - to
- ye ar weather variations, as well as facility

size, location, and several operating characteristics. Portfolio Manager helps the user update and track data over time to continuously monitor performance. The user can use both short and long term trends in energy performance to make budget and management decisions regarding investments in energy

- related projects. Inaddition, EPA intends to collect information from Portfolio Manager users on its usability as a Web

- based tool an d on the effectiveness of Portfolio Manager guidance. Based on this information, EPA will identify and make needed improvements.58

efficiency

of their plants and earn recognition for superior energy performance . To measure efficiency and improve energy use in the company, a company enters basic information about its plant (e.g., energy consumption data) into a spreadsheet tool called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI), which can be downloaded from EPA’s ENERGY STAR Web site . The EPIproduces a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- efficient plants in the59

industry and to the previous performance for the plant. Inaddition, EPA h as established a tool , the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, which encourages companies to track their energy performance using a tracking system, such as Portfolio Manager, a spread sheet

- based tracking tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR W eb site called the ENERGY STAR Energy Tracking Tool (ETT) , or a company ’s in

- house tracking system
. C ompanies can enter basic information into the system to track their performance to advance energy

management efforts. Only companies seeking recognition submit o utputs from using the EPIor other tracking system to EPA

. **(i) Data items** 

 In formation entered into the EPI or alternative tracking system:

EPA will enter the information obtained into a database and will aggregate data obtained to monitor the progress of participants in improving energy performance. EPA will ensure the proper use and processing of the infor mation collected to enhance the value of the information to EPA and the public. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility**  EPA expects that small businesses will participate in the ENERGY STAR Program. EPA has designed its information collections to minimize respondent burden while obtaining sufficient and accurate information. For example, EPA has tailored the Small Business Network so that it requests only

the minimum information needed to establish contact with the small business.73

**5(d) Collection Schedule**  **JOININ G THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES**  **Partnership Letter or Agreement/Related Activities** EPA collects the Partnership L etter or Agreement on a one

- time basis from organizations seeking to be Partners. Partners prepare the energy management p lan on a one

- time basis. They then follow the plan in improving their facilities’ energy performance. The plan is not collected by EPA. EPA collects information from SPPs according to the following schedule. EPA collects information from SPPs to includ e in online listings (e.g. contact information) when the SPP joins the program. EPA requests an update of the information annually from SPPs. To be eligible to join, organizations must meet certain requirements before applying to become an ENERGY STAR SP P Partner. Applicants must demonstrate that they have actively

used the ENERGY STAR approach to help clients achieve their energy management goals as specified.

 SPPs serving the existing commercial buildings market must benchmark at least 10 client commercial buildings in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and/or earn the ENERGY STAR certification for at least one client commercial building in the last 12 months using Portfolio Manager and meeting other program requirements.

 SPPs serving the commercial new construction market must submit commercial building design projects that achieve ENERGY STAR. Eligible design projects are determined by

using Target Finder and require approval from EPA.

 SPPs serving the industrial market must work with an ENERGY STAR industrial Partner on at least one energy efficiency

project in the last two ye ars and submit a Teaming Profile to EPA outlining the project scope and resulting savings for that project. Once the organization has been admitted into the SPP program, it is expected to maintain a minimum level of activity to be recognized in online listings, as follows:

 Existing commercial buildings SPP Partners must maintain at least 10 buildings benchmarked in the most recent 12

- month period or serve as the primary SPP in helping at least one customer commercial building to earn the ENERGY STAR in the most recent 12

- month period.74

 Commercial new construction SPP Partners will have their design project profiled on the ENERGY STAR Web site for up to 24 months after the Certificate of Occupancy

is awarded. Design projects that are built and later earn the ENERGY STAR certification will also be featured on the registry of ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings.

 In dustrial SPP Partners are encouraged to submit Teaming Profiles to EPA outlining the project scope and resulting savings for new projects completed for ENERGY STAR industrial Partner s every two ye ars. EPA collects information from EEPS according to the following schedule:

 Submittal and periodic update of a brief plan outlining the key activities the EEPS intend to undertake to cooperatively promote ENERGY STAR in the commercial and/or industrial markets; and

 Submittal of annual updates to the Directory of Energy

Efficiency

Programs. **Small Business Networ k**  There is no collection schedule for small businesses. **BENCHMARKING Portfolio Manager**  There is no schedule for benchmarking in Portfolio Manager. There is no schedule for collecting feedback from organizations on the usability of Portfolio Manager and effectiveness of guidance. **ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator and Related Systems** There is no schedule for using the Energy Performance Indicator or related systems. **Data Collection for Model Development and Beta Testing** There is no schedule for collecting information for model development and beta testing.75

**RECOGNITION ENERGY STAR**  **Certification** Buildings There is no schedule for applying for the ENERGY STAR certification

. While buildings may apply for certification on a rolling basis, any individual building is only able to earn certification once every

12 months. EPA intends to conduct periodic audits for quality control purposes. Remote audits are anticipated to take place on a rolling basis, and on - site verifications every three years . There is no schedule for asking participants in the ENERGY STAR Program about the characteristics of buildings that lead to top energy performance. Plants There is no schedule for applying for the ENERGY STAR plant certification

. **ENERGY STAR Leade rs**  There is no collection schedule. Rather, EPA requests that Partners who reach targets inform EPA by

submitting the qualification documents when they have met energy improvements in 10 percent increments across their portfolio or achieved a portfolio average score of 75 or greater

. **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry** Sites that achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity within five years of their baseline have the opportunity to apply for recognition from EPA. **Statement of Energy Design Intent**  There is no collection schedule for applying to achieve Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR recognition from EPA

. If applicants seeking recognition wish to be included in the ENERGY STAR Gallery at an annual industry

conference (hosted by

the American Institute of Architects) that is held sometime between late

- April and early

- June of each year, then they must submit application materials approximately

six weeks prior to the event.76

**ENERGY STAR Awards** The ENERGY STAR Awards are held annually to recogn ize organizations that have achieved energy

performance improvements. ENERGY STAR Partners who wish to receive an annual award are requested to submit an application by the specified due date. **National Building Competition** Portfolio Manager users may ap ply to enter buildings in the competition once every 12 months. Participation in the year - long competition involves the submittal of a Data Release Report at the beginning, mid

**6. ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION**  **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden**  Exhibits 1 through 3 estimate the annual respondent burden hours for information collection activities associ ated with the ENERGY STAR Program in the commercial and industrial sectors. Table 1 presents the total annual hours to respondents under all activities. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs**  Exhibits 1 through 3 present the annual respondent costs for information collection activities associated with the ENERGY STAR Program in the commercial and industrial sectors. Table 1 presents the total annual respondent costs under all activities. Specific cost assumptions are discussed below. **(i) Estimating Labor Cost**  **s** The labor rates used to estimate costs to respondents are consistent with the hourly wage rates published by

the Bureau of Labor Statistics publications on employ ment and earnings. Rates are current as of 20 12 . Rates reflect the cost of overhead and f ringe benefits where appropriate. EPA estimates an average respondent hourly labor rate (hourly

plus overhead and fringe) of $ 148.97 for legal staff, $ 107.75 for managerial staff, $ 73.92 for technical staff, and $ 37.21 for clerical staff. **(ii) Estimati**  **ng Capital and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Costs** Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs are those costs associated with a paperwork requirement incurred continually over the life of the I CR. They are defined by

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 as “the recurring dollar amount of costs associated with O&M or purchasing services.” Most of the collections in this I CR can be done online. I f a collection involves submittal by

postal mail, this I CR includes O&M costs for postage (i.e., $0.4 5 ). The IC R also includes $ 1,605 for a building to qualify for the ENERGY STAR. This cost is for the building to engage a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect to conduct a facility inspection

. Inaddition, the I CR includes O&M costs of $ 3,210 for a petroleum company to ask its consulting service to generate energy

- efficiency results of its plant, so that the company can apply for the ENERGY STAR for the plant. There are no capital costs associated with any activities related to the ENERGY STAR Program in th e commercial and industrial sectors.78

**6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Costs**  The hourly

labor rates used in this I CR were obtained from the 20 12 GS pay schedule available from the Office of Personnel Management. EPA estimates an average hourly labor cost of $ 76.64 for legal staff, $ 71.67 for managerial staff, $ 52.55 for technical staff, and $ 21.10 for clerical staff. The labor costs are based on the following GS levels and steps: legal labor rates were based on GS Level 15, Step 1, managerial labor rate s were based on GS Level 14, Step 4, technical labor rates were based on GS Level 12, Step 5, and clerical labor rates were based on GS L evel 5, Step 1. To derive hourly estimates, EPA divided annual compensation estimates by 2,080, which is the number of hours in the Federal work

- ye ar. EPA then multiplied hourly rates by the standard government overhead factor of 1.6. Agency burden and costs are estimated in Exhibits 4 through 6 and Table 2. **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe**  Inthis section, EPA describes its estimates of the number of respondents carrying out the information collections under the ENERGY STAR Program in the commercial and industrial sectors. In developing its estimates, EPA referred to its databases (e.g., iStar) and other documentation in order to understand historical trends in the number of new and existing respondents. Based on this understanding, EPA has estimated the average number of respondents associated with each of the information collections under the program. **JOININ G THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM AND RELATED ACTIVITIES**  **(EXHIBIT 1) Commercial and Industrial Sector Partners**  EPA estimates that, on average, 500 organizations in the commercial and industrial sectors will submit a Partnership L etter to EPA each year. EPA may ask Partners follow

- up questions. In addition, EPA estimates that five Partners will prepare and follow an energy management plan each year. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 1. **Service and Product Providers** EPA estimates that, on average, 150 SPPs will submit a Partnership Agreement to EPA each year through an online system . These SPPs will also submit requested materials for their appropriate category

(e.g., Teaming Profiles from In dustrial SPPs ) . In addition, EPA estimates that, on average , 200 existing SPPs will update their contact information and 125 existing SPPs will communicate their efforts and successes to EPA annually . These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 1.79

**Energy Efficiency Program Sponsors** EPA estimates that, on average , 8 EEPS will submit a Partnership Agreement and a brief plan to EPA each year. EPA estimates that an additional 12 EEPS will already have joined another ENERGY STAR Program (e.g., ENERGY STAR Products) and need only submit a Commitment Form online to joi n the C&IProgram. In addition, EPA estimates that, on average, 6 6 existing EEPS will actively participate in the program and provide information to EPA each ye ar as requested (e.g., updates of the brief plan). These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 1. **Small Business Network** EPA estimates that 1,650 small businesses will provide the requested information to EPA each year to join the Network. This is reflected in Exhibit 1. **BENCHMARKING (EXHIBIT 2) Portfolio Manager**  EPA provides optional methods for organizations to enter information into Portfolio Manager and benchmark their buildings. These are reflected in the table below. The table shows the total annual number of new accounts that are established in the tool for each method, along with the annual number of buildings benchmarked. EPA developed these data by compiling actual data over the past three years and extrapolating over the next three years. Each method is discussed in greater detail below. **Benchmarking Method Annual No. of**  **New Acc ounts**  **Annual No. of Buildings**  **Benchmarked**

 Manual Data Entry . EPA estimates that, each year, 9,400 users will read the instructions and set up an account in Portfolio Manager to benchmark their buildings manually . In addition, EPA estimates that 40,000 buildings will be manually benchmarked annu ally, on average. Of these, EPA estimates that users will benchmark 75 percent ( 30,000 ) by gathering facility

and energy

data for their buildings not using standard industry practices. EPA estimates that users will benchmark 25 percent (10,000 ) by gathering facility and energy

data for their buildings using standard industry practices (i.e., usual and customary business practices that would be conducted even in the absence of ENERGY STAR).80 These practices could include, for example, compiling and keeping readily available, centralized paper and/or electronic records (e.g., invoices, facility data) for their portfolio of buildings. Users who employ such standard industry practices would generally incur a lower incremental burden than others to gather data for Portfolio Manager. Finally, all users will enter the data into Portfolio Manager to benchmark their buildings. Exhibit 2 includes weighted

- average burden estimates for gathering and entering data into Port folio Manager to account for standard busin ess practices as well as new and repeat benchmarks. See the table below for the inputs used in these weighted

- average calculations.

 Data Entry

with Excel Spreadsheet . EP A estimates that , each year, 200 organizations will set up an account to provide their data via Excel spreadsheet to EPA. EPA will enter the data into Portfolio Manager. Inaddition, EPA estimates that 55,000 buildings will be benchmarked annually using this method. Exhibit 2 includes weighted

- average burden estimates for gathering and entering data into Portfolio Manager to account for new and repeat benchmarks. See the table below for the inputs used in these weighted

. EPA estimates that accounts also will be established for 1,800 customers. Inaddition, EP A estimates that information will be gathered and entered into Portfolio Manager for 89,000 buildings annually

. Exhibit 2 includes weighted

- average burden estimates for gathering and entering81 data into Portfolio Manager to account for new and repeat benchm arks. See the table below for the inputs used in these weighted

efficiency

of their plants and earn recognition for superi or energy performance . To measure efficiency and improve energy use in the company, a company enters basic information into a spreadsheet tool on the ENERGY STAR Web site called the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI). The EPIproduces a plant percentile score between 1 and 100 and compares that score to the most energy

- efficient plants in the industry

and to the previous performance for the plant. EPA estimates that it takes a company 15 minutes per plant to enter information into the EPI

. Companies use the EPIto produce plant scores, except for petroleum companies. Petroleum companies use a third

- party consulting service to measure the energy efficiency

of their plants. To request a plant score from the consulting service, a petroleum company is esti mated to spend 10 minutes and $ 3,2 00 as a flat fee per plant. As shown in the table below, EPA estimates that industrial companies will enter information/generate scores for 177 plants annually, on average, during the three

- ye ar life of this IC R (i.e., ( 1 47 + 167 + 188 ) / 3 years). This includes 1 67 non - petroleum plants and 10 petroleum plants on average each year.

- P etroleum 147 167 188 167 Petroleum 9 10 11 10 Total 156 177 199 177 EPA has established a tool , the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, which encourages companies to track their energy performance using a tracking system, such as Portfolio Manager, a s preadsheet

- based tracking tool that can be downloaded from the ENERGY STAR Web site called the ENERGY STAR Energy Tracking Tool (ETT) , or a company ’s in

-82

house tracking system . EPA estimates that 47 companies (annually ) currently

use their existing in

- hous e system to track their energy performance as a standard industry practice (i.e., usual and customary

business practices that would be conducted even in the absence of ENERGY STAR). EPA does not expect these companies to incur any incremental burden in tracking their energy performance under the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry . EPA estimates that another 3 companies will spend 2.5 hours to use alternative ENERGY STAR tracking system (e.g., ETT). Unlike companies that use their existing in

- house system s as a standard industry practice, companies using alternative ENERGY STAR systems will incur incremental time to set up and use the system. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 2. **Data Collection for Model Development and Beta Testing** EPA expect s to expand Portfolio Manager or the Energy Performance Indicator (EPI) downloadable spreadsheet tools by adding new facility

ty pes. In doing so, the Agency may need to gather information for model development and/or beta testing to make sure the tool pro duces relevant results. EPA expects to collect information from up to 1,000 organizations annually

. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 2. **RECOGNITION (EXHIBIT 3) ENERGY STAR**  **Certification** Buildings EPA estimates that organizations will submit 8,000 applications for the ENERGY STAR each year. These organizations must benchmark the building, engage a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect to conduct a facility inspection, and complete the application. They must submit an on

- line application consisting of a L etter of Agreement (LOA) and Data Checklist to EPA. EPA estimates that 80% (6,400) will contract a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect and 20% (1,600) will use an in

- house Professional Engineer or Registered Architect. [No te that this I CR burdens participants for benchmarking in the section, “Benchmarking,” under the heading, “Portfolio Manager.” See Exhibit 2.] EPA estimates that 800 profiles of Certified Buildings will be submitted annually

. Inaddition, EPA may

request information from 150 ENERGY STAR Certified Buildings annually as part of on

- site or remote audits

. EPA also expects to contact representatives of buildings that have earned the ENERGY STAR to collect information about the characteristics of buildings that lead to top energy performance. EPA also intends to collect information about the qualification process to measure83

how easy it is for organizations to use. EPA intends to contact no more than 66 representatives annually

. These assumptions are reflec ted in Exhibit 3. Plants In dustrial companies have an opportunity to apply to EPA to display

the ENERGY STAR certification for specific ty pes of plants that meet EPA’s energy efficiency

criteria. I f the plant’s EPIscore is in the top quartile of the i ndustry ’s performance scale , the company can choose to apply for the ENERGY STAR certification by inputting the necessary data in to the EPIand printing out the corresponding Statement of Energy Performance (SEP) . A Professional Engineer (PE) verifies, signs, and stamps the SEP. The EPI , certified SEP, and a letter are sent to EPA. I f the submittal contains confidential business information (CBI), the company sends the information to EPA’s contractor to verify energy performance results. I f approved b y EPA, the plant receives the ENERGY STAR certification

. The application process described above is used by all industrial companies eligible to apply, except petroleum companies. After the petroleum company receives its energy

efficiency score from it s consulting service, a PE provides a certification/stamp confirming the accuracy of the numbers provided to the consulting service. The company then sends the certified document and a letter from the consulting service to EPA. I f approved by EPA, the pl ant receives the ENERGY STAR certification . (Petroleum companies do not need to send their results to EPA’s contractor for CBI

review.) EPA estimates that industrial companies will seek recognition for 177 plants annually, on average, during the three

- ye ar life of this I CR. This includes 167 non - petroleum plants and 10 petroleum plants each year. Inaddition, EPA estimates that 30 profiles of certified plants will be submitted annually

. Submission of plant profiles is optional. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 3. [Note that this I CR burdens participants for tracking their energy

performance in the section, “Benchmarking,” under the heading, “ENERGY STAR Energy

Performance Indicator and Related Systems.” See Exhibit 2.] **ENERGY STAR Leaders** As part of the Partnership L etter, organizations commit to continuous improvement. To track Partners’ progress against their goal, EPA provides organizations recognition incentives. This follows the Partnership L etter and includes that they track and b enchmark all of the eligible buildings in their portfolio and apply for recognition by

submitting the following qualification documents: a L etter of Qualification, Facility Summary

Report, Facility

List, and L eaders Story

.84

They also will respond to some E PA questions. EPA will review this information and recognize these participants as ENERGY STAR L eaders if they qualify

. As reflected in Exhibit 3, EPA estimates that, each year, 120 Partners will set up an ENERGY STAR L eaders account in Portfolio Manag er and apply for recognition. [Note that this I CR burdens these organizations for preparing/submitting their Partnership L etter in the section, “Joining the ENERGY STAR Program and Related Activities,” under the heading, “Commercial and Industrial Sector Partners.” See Exhibit 1. This I CR burdens these organizations for performing benchmarks in the section, “Benchmarking,” under the heading, “Portfolio Manager.” See Exhibit 2.] **ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry** EPA has established a tool , the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry, which encourages companies to pledge to reduce the energy intensity of their sites by

10 percent within 5 years and track their progress towards this goal using a tracking system (e.g., company in

- house tracking systems , Port folio Manager, ETT ). Sites that achieve a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity within 5 ye ars of their baseline have the opportunity to apply for recognition from EPA. The company must register the site’s baseline with EPA using an online form . The s ite can then complete an online recognition application and may apply to EPA for recognition by printing out a Statement of Energy

Improvement (SEI) . A Professional Engineer (PE) verifies, signs, and stamps the SEI , which is then sent to EPA. I f approved by EPA, the site receives recognition (e.g., a certificate , congratulatory letter to the CEO ). EPA estimates that 45 sites will register with EPA annually, and 50 sites will seek recognition annually

by preparing/submitting the application materials . [N ote that this I CR burdens participants for tracking their energy performance in the section, “Benchmarking,” under the heading, “ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator and Related Systems.” See Exhibit 2.] Further, EPA estimates 10 companies will submi t a plant profile annually for sites that achieve the Challenge for Industry

. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 3. **Statement of Energy Design Intent** EPA estimates that, each year, 53 organizations will apply for the graphic, “Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR,” by establishing an account, gathering building and energy data, entering the data into Target Finder, and submitting the Statement of Energy Design Intent (SEDI) and Letter s of Intent to EPA. EPA also estimates that 25 organizations will collaborate with EPA in developing the optional Design Profiles ( case studies ) . This is reflected in Exhibit 3.85

**ENERGY STAR Awards** EPA estimates that 100 C&IPartners, 15 SPPs, and eight EEPS will apply for an ENERGY STAR Award each year. These a ssumptions are reflected in Exhibit 3. **National Building Competition** EPA estimates that, on average, 250 commercial building owners and managers will submit a Data Release Report to EPA three times annually to participate in the competition (i.e., 250 x 3 = 750 submittals/y r). EPA expects to contact 30% of these respondents for clarification of their first report submission, and another 10% of respondents for clarification of their mid

point and final submissions, respectively (i.e., 250 x 50% = 125 emai ls/y r). Inaddition, EPA estimates that 12% of respondents will spend an average of five hours documenting their energy reduction efforts over the course of the competition (i.e., 250 x 12% = 30 respondents) . EPA estimates that 15 ENERGY STAR Partner s wi ll each be asked to present their energy

management experiences during webinars held monthly throughout the competition. EPA estimates that 37 winners will be identified each year of the competition and asked to submit a Data Verification Report. Of thes e, EPA estimates that 75% (28 winners) will contract with an external Licensed Professional (LP) to complete the report and 25% (9 winners) will use an in

- house LP to complete it. These assumptions are reflected in Exhibit 3.86 Legal M a nagerial Te ch nic al Cl eric al **In for**  **ma ti**  **on Colle ct**  **io n Act**  **ivit y**  $1 48. 97 $1

**6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden**  EPA estimates a total annual respondent burden in this I CR, 1772.06, of 194, 509 hours. This is an increase of 69, 486 hours from the previously approved burden o f 125,023 hours in IC R 1772.05. Table 3 explains this increase. Specifically, the table presents the total annual hours estimated in I CR 1772.05 and I CR 1772.06 for each information collection (see columns 1

- 3). The table then compares their respectiv e hours for each collection to derive the change in hours, and indicates whether this hour

- change resulted from a program change and/or adjustment (see column 4). The table also briefly describes the program change and/or adjustment (see column 5). Final ly, the table sums up all hour

- changes to derive the total annual change in hours for all collections (see the bottom row of the table). Th e table shows that there was an 1 8

- hour decrease due to program changes and a 69,50 4

- hour increase due to adjustment s resulting from program growth. This resulted in a total increase of 69, 486 hours in I CR 1772.06. The table shows that the vast majority of the increase in I CR 1772.06 resulted from EPA’s adjustments to its analysis of Portfolio Manager and ENERGY STAR Certification. EPA expects a significant increase in the number of participants using Portfolio Manager and ENERGY STAR Certification over the next three years, which has led to the increase in burden hours . This reflect s the dramatic increase in the p ublic’s use of these tools and resources over the past three years . The Agency

expects continued strong growth in the future for a number of reasons. A primary reason is that State and local governments are increasingly leveraging ENERGY STAR as a way for the public to respond to rising energy costs and global warming. Refer to Section 2(a) of this document for additional information about these initiatives. I n addition, associations, utilities, and third

- party

providers are voluntarily communicating ENERGY STAR messages and promoting the use of ENERGY STAR tools and strategies in an effort to help companies reduce their energy

consumption and find more environmentally friendly ways to conduct business. Further, the public has demonstrated an increasing desire to earn recognition under the ENERGY STAR Program. For example, from the previously approved I CR to this one, the estimated number of buildings earning the ENERGY STAR almost doubled, from 4,300 to 8,000. Finally, EPA is continually

improving i ts tools and resources to offer simpler ways to reduce the level of effort required for the public to measure and improve their energy performance. For example, EPA offers a range of options for users to benchmark their buildings in Portfolio Manager. Th is includes automated methods that enable users to take advantage of economies of scale to benchmark large portfolios of buildings more easily

. EPA believes that the burden estimated in this I CR is justified given the significant benefits to participants, the general public, and environment under the ENERGY STAR103

Program. For example, EPA estimates that, in 2010, the energy efficiency

efforts of commercial buildings helped to avoid 81.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO 2 e) of greenhou se gases and a net $7.1 billion. The efforts of industry helped to prevent another 30.8 MMTCO 2 e of greenhouse gases and achieve a net savings of $2.0 billion. 3 Buildings and plants that qualify

for the ENERGY STAR, by achieving a score of 75 or higher o n EPA’s energy performance rating system and meeting relevant requirements for indoor air quality, also illustrate these savings. Ty pically, ENERGY STAR buildings use 35 percent less energy and emit 35 percent less greenhouse gases than average buildings. By the end of 2011, more than 16,500 commercial buildings and plants earned the ENERGY STAR.
