Respondents/Affected Entities: State,Local, and Tribal Governments; NonProfits.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,007.

Frequency of Response: Bi-Annual for subtitle C recipients; Quarterly for subtitle A recipients.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,167 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $308,926, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated hourly burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. OMB requested the separation of private (non-profit) and state/local/tribal government burden in the burden tables and, as a result, there was an increase of $15 in the total cost. This small increase is due to rounding.

Abstract: 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 emissions 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 initiatives, and employee training. At the same time, EPA has streamlined the reporting requirements of ENERGY STAR and focused on providing incentives for improvements ( e.g., ENERGY STAR Awards Program). EPA also makes tools and other resources available on the Web to help the public overcome the barriers to evaluating their energy performance and investing in profitable improvements.

To join ENERGY STAR, organizations are asked to complete a Partnership Letter or Agreement that establishes their commitment to energy efficiency. Partners agree to undertake efforts such as measuring, tracking, and benchmarking their organization’s energy performance by using tools such as those offered by ENERGY STAR; developing and implementing a plan to improve energy performance in their facilities and operations by adopting a strategy provided by ENERGY STAR; and educating staff and the public about their Partnership with ENERGY STAR, and highlighting achievements with the ENERGY STAR, where available.

Partners also may be asked to periodically submit information to EPA as needed to assist in program implementation.

Partnership in ENERGY STAR is voluntary and can be terminated by Partners or EPA at any time. EPA does not expect organizations to join the program unless they expect participation to be cost-effective and otherwise beneficial for them.

In addition, Partners and any other interested party can seek recognition and help EPA promote energy-efficient technologies by evaluating the efficiency of their buildings using EPA’s on-line tools ( e.g., Portfolio Manager) and applying for recognition. EPA does not expect to deem any information collected under ENERGY STAR to be Confidential Business Information (CBI).

(5900–265) Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are participants in EPA’s ENERGY STAR Program in the Commercial and Industrial Sectors.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary.

Estimated number of respondents: 15,000 (total).

Frequency of response: One-time, annually, or on occasion.

Total estimated burden: 194,509 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $24,408,276 (per year), including $10,318,180 in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs and $14,090,096 in annualized labor costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 69,486 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This 69,486-hour increase includes an 18-hour decrease due to program changes and a 69,504-hour increase due to adjustments resulting from program growth. This 69,504-hour increase due to adjustments resulted primarily from the fact that EPA has significantly increased its estimate ofthe number of respondents using the online tool Portfolio Manager and applying for ENERGY STAR Certification. There are several reasons for this increase. 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. In 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. Finally, the public has demonstrated an increasing desire to earn recognition under the ENERGY STAR Program.
