*Title:*                     GreenChill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership.                

*ICR numbers:*                     EPA ICR No. 2349.01, OMB Control No. 2060-New.                

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 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 in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the                     **Federal Register**                     when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the                     **Federal Register**                     or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.                

*Abstract:*                     The GreenChill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership (hereafter referred to as GreenChill Partnership or GreenChill) is an EPA cooperative alliance with the supermarket industry to promote advanced refrigeration technologies, strategies, and practices that reduce emissions of ozone-depleting and greenhouse gas refrigerants. A food retailer's decision to participate in the GreenChill Partnership is completely voluntary. After joining GreenChill by submitting a signed “Partnership Agreement,” food retailers are asked to submit a “Stocks and Emissions Report” to an independent third party. The form requires partners to provide corporate-wide, aggregated data on the stocks and emissions of all refrigerants used in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning appliances. The independent third party summarizes the information submitted by the food retailers, removes any identifying information, and sends a summary of the information to GreenChill. Partners are then asked to submit a “Corporate Refrigerant Management Plan” with their emissions reductions goals for the next year, along with a brief description of their plan to meet that goal (such as retrofitting old equipment,                     *etc.*). These two forms are necessary for GreenChill to track annual supermarket refrigerant emissions rates, allowing GreenChill and its food retail partners to benchmark partners' progress on reducing emissions. The partner emissions data is also the basis for the achievement awards that GreenChill gives out to its partners.                

*Burden Statement:*                     The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 18.1 hours for the first year and 11 hours per year for the second and third years per response. 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 which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to                           ( print page 3904)                        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:*                     GreenChill Food Retail Partners.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     17.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     Annual.                

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     169.                

*Estimated Total Annual Cost:*                     $1378.29 for the first year and $812.91 per year for the second and third years. This includes an estimated burden cost of $1367.86 and an estimated cost of $10.43 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs for the first year and an estimated burden cost of $808.05 and an estimated cost of $4.86 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs for the second and third years.
