Title: Reporting Requirements Under 

EPA’s Green Power Partnership and 

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) 

Partnership. 

Abstract: In an effort to aid 

implementation of the President’s May 

2001 National Energy Strategy, as well 

as the President’s February 2002 

Climate Change Strategy, EPA has 

launched two new partnership programs 

with industry and other stakeholders: 

the Green Power Partnership and the 

CHP Partnership. These partnership 

programs encourage organizations to 

invest in clean, efficient energy 

technologies, including renewable 

energy and CHP. 

The EPA has developed this ICR to 

obtain authorization to collect 

information from organizations 

68442 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 217 / Thursday, November 10, 2005 / Notices 

participating in the Green Power 

Partnership and CHP Partnership to 

ensure that they are meeting their 

voluntary renewable energy and CHP 

goals and to assure the credibility of 

these partnership programs. 

Organizations that join these programs 

voluntarily agree to the following 

respective actions: (1) Designating a 

Green Power or CHP Partnership 

liaison; (2) for the Green Power 

Partnership, reporting to EPA, on an 

annual basis, their progress toward their 

green power commitment via a 1-page 

Green Power Partner Yearly Report; (3) 

for the CHP Partnership, reporting to 

EPA information on their existing CHP 

projects and project development 

activity via the CHP Partner Projects 

Data Form. The EPA uses the data 

obtained from its Partners to assess the 

success of these programs in achieving 

their national energy and greenhouse 

gas reduction goals. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this three (3) year collection of 

information is estimated to equal 3980 

hours and to average 3.4 hours per year 

per respondent. The average number of 

annual burden hours per type of 

response is: 4.9 hours for a Letter of 

Intent (a one-time burden for Green 

Power and CHP Partners); for the Green 

Power Partnership, 2.4 hours for the 

Green Power Partner Yearly Report; for 

the CHP Partnership, 2.0 hours for end 

user Partners to complete the CHP 

Partner Projects Data Form report on 

completed CHP projects (a one-time 

report), or 1.7 hours per year for CHP 

project updates for Partners with 

ongoing CHP project development 

activities. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Corporations, institutions, state, local, 

and tribal agencies that voluntarily 

agree to work with EPA to purchase or 

market green power or to support the 

use of CHP. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,164. 

Frequency of Response: Annually, 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

3,980 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$298,886, which includes $0 annualized 

capital/startup costs, $3,248 annual 

O&M costs, and $295,638 annual labor 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: This does 

not apply, as this is a new collection. 

Dated: October 20, 2005.
