certification and 50001 Ready 

recognition programs. Comments are 

invited on: (a) Whether the proposed

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection request contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1910; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Department of Energy Superior 

Energy Performance® Certification 

Program Information Collection 

Request; 

(3) Type of Request: Renewal; 

(4) Purpose: This Information 

Collection Request applies to the 

Department of Energy (DOE) voluntary 

ISO 50001 programs for industrial 

facilities: Superior Energy Performance®

(SEP®) and 50001 ReadyTM recognition. 

The information being collected is 

needed so as to include participants in 

the DOE’s SEP. SEP is an energy 

efficiency certification and recognition 

program for industrial facilities 

demonstrating energy management 

excellence and sustained energy 

savings. 50001 Ready recognition is a 

self-attestation of the implementation of 

an ISO 50001 energy management 

system without the need for external 

audits. 

SEP builds on the ISO 50001 energy 

management system standard and 

provides a rigorous, internationallyrecognized business process for 

companies to continually improve their 

energy performance. The SEP thirdparty verification of energy performance 

improvement is unique in the 

marketplace, and assists to differentiate 

certified companies from their 

competitors. This request for 

information consists of a voluntary data 

collection process for SEP participation: 

To enroll industrial facilities, manage 

and track certification cycles, and relay 

the costs and benefits of SEP 

certification to industry. 50001 Ready 

collects a minimal amount of selfattested information to manage and 

track recognition cycles and to 

recognize the achievements of its 

participants. 

There are four types of information to 

be collected from primary participants: 

(1) Background data, including contact 

information and basic information about
