Abstract: The Renewable Fuel 

Standard (RFS) program began in 2006 

pursuant to the requirements in the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) section 211(o) 

which were added through the Energy 

Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). The 

statutory requirements for the RFS 

program were subsequently modified 

through the Energy Independence and 

Security act of 2007 (EISA), resulting in 

the promulgation of major revisions to 

the regulatory requirements on March 

26, 2010. The RFS program requires that 

specified volumes of renewable fuel be 

used as transportation fuel, heating oil, 

and/or jet fuel each year. To accomplish 

this, the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) publishes applicable 

percentage standards annually that 

apply to the sum of all gasoline and 

diesel produced or imported. Obligated 

parties demonstrate compliance with 

the standards through the acquisition of 

unique Renewable Identification 

Numbers (RINs) assigned by the 

producer or importer to every batch of 

renewable fuel produced or imported. 

This regulation will help EPA to 

monitor compliance with the RFS 

program and will ensure that the RIN 

system operates as originally intended. 

The data generated by the Quality 

Assurance Plan (QAP) program will 

assist obligated parties and smaller 

renewable fuel producers to comply 

with the requirements of the RFS 

program by supporting the validity of 

RINs. 

Form Numbers: EPA Forms 5900–354, 

5900–355, 5900–356, 5900–323, 5900– 

357, 5900–358, 5900–359, 5900–360, 

and 5900–361. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary (40 CFR part 80). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,222 (total). 

Frequency of response: Quarterly, 

yearly and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 26,830 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,984,207 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 236,914 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This is due to a reduction in 

burden hours due to EMTS system’s 

automation structure.

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). 

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. In 

addition, Partners and any other 

interested party can evaluate the 

efficiency of their buildings using EPA’s 

online tools (e.g., Portfolio Manager) 

and apply for recognition. 

Form numbers: 5900–19, 5900–21, 

5900–22, 5900–33, 5900–89, 5900–195, 

5900–197, 5900–198, 5900–262, 5900–

5900–376, 5900–377, 5900–378, 5900– 

379, 5900–380, 5900–381, 5900–382, 

5900–383, 5900–384, 5900–385, 5900– 

386, and 5900–387. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

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: 

51,515 (total). 

Frequency of response: One-time, 

annually, or on occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 254,084 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $21,784,161 (per 

year), includes $10,827,727 in 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase of 59,575 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to program 

growth.
