Proposed Agency Information 

Collection 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Submission for Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) review; 

comment request. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) has submitted to the OMB for 

clearance, a proposal for collection of 

information pursuant to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. The collection 

would be used to measure the impact 

and progress of DOE’s Workplace 

Charging Challenge (Challenge). The 

Challenge is an initiative through which 

DOE provides employers with 

specialized resources, expertise, and 

support to incorporate workplace 

charging programs into their operations 

successfully.1 The initiative is a part of 

the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge, 

which focuses on enabling U.S. vehicle 

manufacturers to be the first in the 

world to produce plug-in electric 

vehicles (PEVs) that are as affordable 

and convenient for the average 

American family as today’s gasolinepowered vehicles by 2022. As the EV 

Everywhere Grand Challenge is focused 

on PEV research and development as 

well as deployment, it has been 

developed with input from 

sustainability professionals, industry 

representatives, and DOE’s Clean Cities 

program staff coordinators. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

proposed information collection must 

be received on or before March 3, 2014. 

If you anticipate difficulty in submitting 

comments within that period, please 

advise the OMB Desk Officer of your 

intention to make a submission as soon 

as possible. The Desk Officer may be 

telephoned at 202–395–4650. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No. New; (2) Information 

Collection Request Title: Workplace 

Charging Challenge; (3) Type of Request: 

New collection; (4) Purpose: DOE’s 

Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) has 

developed a voluntary initiative, the EV 

Everywhere Workplace Charging 

Challenge. This initiative, launched in 

January 2013, aims to increase the 

number of U.S. employers offering 

workplace charging for PEVs to their 

employees. Participating employers may 

sign on as Partners to signal their 

commitment to workplace charging and 

otherwise promote workplace charging. 

As designed, the initiative is intended to 

benefit both employees and employers. 

The goal of the Workplace Charging 

Challenge is to increase to over 500 the 

number of employers offering workplace 

charging to their U.S. employees by 

2018, the scheduled end of the program. 

Individual employers that make 

available at least one electric vehicle 

supply equipment (EVSE), or charger, to 

their employees at one major employer 

location will count towards this goal, 

regardless of whether or not the 

employer is a partner in the Workplace 

Charging Challenge. 

As part of this program, DOE will 

conduct outreach to deploy workplace 

charging, provide technical assistance to 

support employers’ workplace charging 

programs, and identify specific success 

stories, lessons learned, and best 

practices employers have deployed, 

thereby increasing the value and 

facilitating the deployment of additional 

workplace charging programs. The effort 

is part of the larger EV Everywhere 

Grand Challenge, and as the Grand 

Challenge by necessity incorporates a 

deployment component, DOE will be 

able to use its experience and expertise 

through the VTO Clean Cities Program 

to educate the public about PEVs, as 

well as help identify potential 

workplace charging barriers and the 

means to remove such barriers. 

The Challenge does not endeavor to 

engage an exhaustive number of 

employers, but rather will work with 

self-identified employers committed to 

leading the way in reducing petroleum 

consumption through the deployment of 

PEVs and associated charging 

infrastructure. 

In January 2013, relying on 

employers’ public records and 

communications, DOE began identifying 

employers that might be interested in 

becoming voluntary partners to the 

Workplace Challenge Program. To 

measure progress towards the 

Workplace Charging Challenge goal of 

more than 500 employers through 2018, 

DOE will be monitoring some employers 

directly, and others through data DOE 

can gather from available online 

resources, including the Alternative 

Fuels Data Center. For those employers 

DOE is monitoring directly, DOE will 

develop an annual progress update and 

will publish the generalized results 

gathered. To generate this annual 

update, DOE will collect annually from 

these Workplace Charging Challenge 

Partners, or employers, data and 

narratives associated with their PEV 

charging program and infrastructure. 

The principal objective of collecting 

the information DOE seeks to gather 

through the Challenge is to allow DOE 

to develop an objective assessment and 

estimate of the number of U.S. 

employers that have established a 

workplace charging program or 

otherwise installed EVSE, and to 

document specific information 

associated with the offering of such a 

program to employees. Information 

requested would be used to establish 

basic information for Partner employers, 

which will then be used for future 

comparisons and analysis of instituted 

programs and policies. A designated 

representative for each participating 

Partner will provide the requested 

information. The intended respondent is 

expected to be aware of relevant aspects 

of the company’s charging infrastructure 

and program if such exists, such that the 

gathering of information is not expected 

to be very resource consuming. DOE 

will compile and issue an annual 

progress update that would provide an 

update on the Workplace Charging 

Challenge program partners’ activities, 

as well as report on metrics DOE is 

evaluating related to energy 

consumption, costs, numbers of 

employers in the program, and best 

practices that can be identified for the 

purpose of helping others take steps to 

deploy charging infrastructure. 

The Challenge effort will rely on data 

the Partners will provide via an online 

response tool. The data collection 

would address the following topic areas: 

(1) Charging infrastructure and use; (2) 

employee PEV ownership; and (3) 

feedback on the Challenge. 

The data will be compiled for the 

purpose of assessing and setting forth in 

the annual progress updates the 

Workplace Charging Challenge 

program’s impact in terms of increasing 

both the number of employers offering 

workplace charging and the deployment 

of EVSEs and PEVs. 

The data and subsequent analyses 

will allow DOE to compare historical 

records dynamically, and provide the 

opportunity for DOE to determine 

annual progress toward Workplace 

Charging Challenge goals. Calculation of 

progress and impacts will be undertaken 

on an annual basis. 

The Workplace Charging Challenge 

program is targeted at U.S. employers. 

Providing initial baseline information 

for each participating employer, which 

occurs only once, is expected to take 1.5 

hours. Follow-up questions and 

clarifications for the purpose of 

ensuring accurate analyses may take up 

to 3.5 hours; (5) Annual Estimated 

Number of Respondents: 400; (6) 

Annual Estimated Number of Total 

Responses: 400; (7) Annual Estimated 

Number of Burden Hours: 2,000; (8) 

Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The total 

estimated annual cost for all 

respondents to respond to the voluntary 

collection is $9,702. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. Sec 13233; 42 U.S.C. 

Sec. 13252(a)–(b); 42 U.S.C. 13255.
