Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: In 2002, EPA launched two 

new partnership programs with industry 

and other stakeholders: The Green 

Power Partnership (GPP) and the 

Combined Heat and Power Partnership 

(CHPP). These voluntary partnership 

programs encourage organizations to 

invest in clean, efficient energy 

technologies, including renewable 

energy and combined heat and power. 

To continue to be successful, it is 

critical that EPA collect information 

from GPP and CHPP Partners to ensure 

these organizations are meeting their 

renewable energy and CHP goals and to 

assure the credibility of these voluntary 

partnership programs. 

EPA has developed this ICR to obtain 

authorization to collect information 

from organizations participating in the 

GPP and CHPP. Organizations that join 

these programs voluntarily agree to the 

following respective actions: (1) 

Designating a Green Power or CHP 

liaison and filling out a Partnership 

Agreement or Letter of Intent (LOI) 

respectively, (2) for the GPP, reporting 

to EPA, on an annual basis, their 

progress toward their green power 

commitment via a 3-page reporting 

form; (3) for the CHP Partnership, 

reporting to EPA information on their 

existing CHP projects, new project 

development, and other CHP-related 

activities via a one-page reporting form 

(for projects) or via an informal email or 

phone call (for other CHP-related 

activities). EPA uses the data obtained 

from its Partners to assess the success of 

these programs in achieving their 

national energy and greenhouse gas 

(GHG) reduction goals. Partners are 

organizational entities that have 

volunteered to participate in either 

Partnership program. 

Form Numbers: EPA–430–K–013, 

EPA–430–F–05–034. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,565. 

Frequency of response: Annually, on 

Occasion, One time. 

Total estimated burden: 8,191 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $706,709 (per 

year), includes $7,478 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is an 

increase of 2,368 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. The average number of hours per 

Partners remained the same at 3.2 hours, 

pending a partner survey to determine 

the results of these efficiencies. The 

total hourly burden increased because 

due to an increase in the number of 

Partners. For perspective on the 

magnitude of partner growth, the 

number of Partners at the end of 2011 

was 1,308, and at the end of 2014 there 

is was 2,041. 

The total cost estimate (including 

both Respondents and Agency burden) 

over the 3 year period for this renewal 

ICR is $2,805,913, or an average of 

$935,304 per year, of which $7,749 is 

O&M costs. The total cost to GPP and 

CHP Partners is $2,120,126, or $706,709 

per year. The total cost estimate increase 

for Partners is due to an increase in the 

number of Partners and increases in 

wages.
