SHORT
CHARACTERIZATION/
ABSTRACT
In
April
1993,
President
Clinton
issued
the
Climate
Change
Action
Plan,
which
was
designed
to
reduce
U.
S.
emissions
of
greenhouse
gases,
while
guiding
the
U.
S.
economy
toward
environmentally
sound
economic
growth
into
the
next
century.
EPA's
ENERGY
STAR
product
labeling
is
an
important
part
of
the
overall
effort
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
projected
2000
levels
by
19.4
million
metric
tons
of
carbon
equivalent
by
2010.
ENERGY
STAR
is
aimed
at
preventing
pollution
rather
than
controlling
it
after
its
creation.

This
voluntary
program,
which
is
administered
by
EPA's
Climate
Protection
Partnerships
Division
(
CPPD),
was
designed
to
create
self­
sustaining
markets
for
energy­
efficient
products
and
services
via
a
common
labeling
strategy
and
awareness
campaign
and
through
strategic
market
interventions
designed
to
overcome
barriers
identified
for
designated
product
markets.
The
program
currently
covers
32
product
categories
including
the
following:

°
office
equipment
(
computers,
monitors,
printers,
copiers,
scanners,
fax
machines,
multifunction
devices)
°
consumer
electronics
(
TVs,
VCRs,
TV/
VCR
combination
units,
audio
equipment,
DVD
players,
set­
top
boxes,
telephones,
answering
machines,
telephone/
answering
machine
combination
units)
°
heating
and
cooling
equipment
(
central
air
conditioners,
air­
source
heat
pumps,
groundsource
heat
pumps,
boilers,
furnaces,
programmable
thermostats)
°
residential
lighting
fixtures
°
exit
signs
°
traffic
signals
°
roof
products
°
transformers
°
dehumidifiers
°
water
coolers
°
ventilation
fans
°
ceiling
fans
°
commercial
solid
door
refrigerators
and
freezers
A
limited
number
of
additional
products
are
expected
to
be
added
to
the
program
in
the
future.

Please
note
that
ENERGY
STAR
is
a
program
jointly
administered
by
EPA
and
the
Department
of
Energy.
Each
agency
leads
work
on
different
product
categories.
This
ICR
covers
only
those
activities
undertaken
by
EPA.
3
In
the
10
years
since
it
was
first
established,
ENERGY
STAR
has
become
a
very
successful
program.
A
2000
market
survey
by
the
Consortium
for
Energy
Efficiency
(
CEE)
reported
that
over
40%
of
consumers
recognize
the
ENERGY
STAR
label.
Currently
ENERGY
STAR
has
over
1,600
manufacturing
Partners
and
11,000
qualifying
product
models.
Partners
see
the
ENERGY
STAR
label
as
a
very
useful
and
effective
marketing
tool
for
highlighting
the
energy
efficiency
of
their
products
to
consumers
and
others.
In
addition,
ENERGY
STAR
provides
Partners
with
recognition
as
environmental
leaders.
In
order
to
ensure
continued
success
and
benefits
to
Partners,
CPPD
realized
the
need
for
added
rigor
to
the
ENERGY
STAR
information
requirements
and
now
calls
for
Partners
to
submit
specific
information.
These
information
requirements
signaled
the
need
for
this
ICR.
The
new
information
requirements
are
explained
below.

For
the
information
collections,
EPA
will
assemble
data
from
ENERGY
STAR
Partners.
Partners
including
product
manufacturers
who
wish
to
use
the
ENERGY
STAR
label
to
differentiate
their
product
as
having
a
greater
energy
efficiency
than
others
found
in
the
market.
Partners
will
sign
a
new
Partnership
Agreement
(
PA)
with
EPA
in
order
to
become
a
Partner.
In
order
to
use
the
ENERGY
STAR
label
on
a
product,
the
Partner
must
first
determine
if
the
product
qualifies.
Each
product
category
covered
by
ENERGY
STAR
has
a
unique
set
of
energy
efficiency
specifications
that
are
used
to
determine
qualification.
In
addition,
a
specific
testing
method
must
be
used
to
determine
qualification.
All
of
this
information
is
contained
in
the
PA.

Manufacturing
Partners
will
be
asked
to
submit
qualifying
product
information
to
EPA
so
that
EPA
can,
in
turn,
provide
this
information
to
consumers
in
a
easy
to
use
format
so
that
they
will
know
which
products
to
purchase
in
order
to
save
energy.
In
addition,
roof
products
and
residential
light
fixtures
Partners
will
be
are
requested
to
submit
testing
reports
used
to
complete
the
qualifying
product
information
in
order
to
verify
qualification.
Partners
will
be
requested
to
submit
updates
to
qualifying
product
information
on
an
annual
basis,
so
as
to
ensure
that
EPA
information
is
recent
and
accurate.
The
information
will
be
compiled
into
a
complete
qualifying
products
list
per
product
category,
posted
on
the
ENERGY
STAR
Web
site,
and
supplied
to
those
purchasers
who
request
it
via
phone,
fax,
or
e­
mail.

Manufacturing
Partners
will
also
be
asked
to
submit
annual
unit
shipment
data
for
their
ENERGY
STAR
qualifying
products.
EPA
is
flexible
as
to
the
methods
by
which
manufacturers
may
submit
unit
shipment
data.
For
example,
if
manufacturers
already
submit
this
type
of
information
to
a
third
party,
such
as
a
trade
association,
manufacturers
are
given
the
option
of
arranging
for
shipment
data
to
be
sent
to
EPA
via
this
third
party
to
avoid
duplication
of
efforts
and
to
ensure
confidentiality.

Finally,
Partners
that
wish
to
receive
recognition
for
their
efforts
in
ENERGY
STAR
may
submit
an
application
for
the
Partner
of
the
Year
Award.

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2.
a
NEED/
AUTHORITY
FOR
THE
COLLECTION
4
Section
103(
a)
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
authorizes
EPA
to
establish
"
a
national
research
and
development
program
for
the
prevention
and
control
of
air
pollution."
As
part
of
such
a
program,
EPA
is
to
"
conduct
and
promote
the
coordination
and
acceleration
of
research,
investigations,
experiments,
demonstrations,
surveys,
and
studies
relating
to
the
causes,
effects
(
including
health
and
welfare
effects),
extent,
prevention
and
control
of
air
pollution."
Section
103(
a)(
1).

In
addition,
as
a
component
of
the
program,
section
103(
g)
directs
the
Administrator
to
"
conduct
a
basic
engineering
research
and
technology
program
to
develop,
evaluate,
and
demonstrate
nonregulatory
strategies
and
technologies
for
air
pollution
prevention."
The
section
calls
on
the
Administrator
to
provide
opportunities
for
industry,
public
interest
groups,
scientists,
and
other
interested
persons
to
participate
in
strategy
development.
Section
103(
g)
further
directs
EPA
to
include
as
elements
in
the
program
"
improvements
in
nonregulatory
strategies
and
technologies
for
preventing
or
reducing
multiple
air
pollutants
including
sulfur
oxides,
nitrogen
oxides,
heavy
metals,
PM­
10
(
particulate
matter),
carbon
monoxide,
and
carbon
dioxide..."
The
strategies
and
technologies
are
to
improve
various
air
pollutant
reduction
and
nonregulatory
control
strategies,
including
energy
conservation.

The
ENERGY
STAR
®
Labeling
Program
is
one
component
of
the
Administrator's
response.
ENERGY
STAR
is
a
voluntary
partnership
between
the
U.
S.
EPA,
the
U.
S.
Department
of
Energy,
product
manufacturers,
local
utilities,
retailers,
and
financing
institutions.
Partners
help
promote
efficient
products
by
labeling
qualifying
models
with
the
ENERGY
STAR
label
and
educating
consumers
about
the
benefits.
The
label
provides
an
easy
way
for
consumers
to
identify
energy­
efficient
products
that
save
money
on
utility
bills
and
reduce
air
pollution.
By
using
less
energy,
these
products
help
reduce
the
demand
to
create
power,
which
is
typically
generated
by
power
plants
that
burn
fossil
fuels.
As
such,
they
help
reduce
air
pollutants
such
as
sulfur
oxides,
nitrogen
oxides,
and
carbon
dioxide
that
are
generated
by
these
stationary
sources.
ENERGY
STAR
demonstrates
how
providing
consumer
product
information
can
be
used
as
a
nonregulatory
strategy
to
prevent
and
control
air
pollution.

This
information
collection
is
designed
to
support
and
ensure
the
success
of
ENERGY
STAR
as
a
nonregulatory
strategy
for
preventing
air
pollution.

PRACTICAL
UTILITY/
USERS
OF
THE
DATA
EPA
uses
information
collected
from
ENERGY
STAR
Partners
for
a
variety
of
purposes.
These
are
described
below:

Partnership
Agreement
5
EPA
uses
information
submitted
in
the
PA
to
officially
establish
participation
in
ENERGY
STAR.
Partner
data
from
PA's
are
also
entered
into
the
iSTAR
database
that
serves
as
a
source
of
general
information
and
as
a
mailing
list.

Qualifying
Product
Information
EPA
uses
qualifying
product
information
submitted
by
Partners
to
educate
and
build
awareness
among
consumers
as
to
which
products
meet
the
qualification
of
ENERGY
STAR.
Information
submitted
by
Partners
is
aggregated
into
a
list
and
posted
in
the
ENERGY
STAR
Web
site.
Consumers
and
institutional
purchasers
are
directed
to
the
ENERGY
STAR
Web
site
to
locate
model
names
and
numbers
of
ENERGY
STAR
qualifying
products.

Testing
Reports
Submittal
of
testing
reports
will
be
required
by
ENERGY
STAR
Partners
for
residential
light
fixtures
and
roof
products.
In
the
past,
manufacturers
in
these
two
industries
expressed
mistrust
of
their
competitors
and
questioned
the
integrity
of
the
qualifying
product
information
submitted.
Partners
asked
that
additional
measures
be
taken
to
verify
that
qualifying
product
information
is
accurate
and
credible.
As
such,
EPA
will
now
require
the
submission
of
testing
reports
from
Partners
in
these
two
industries.

Unit
Shipment
Data
EPA
uses
unit
shipment
data
supplied
by
Partners
to
monitor
the
progress
of
ENERGY
STAR
in
stimulating
the
supply
of
and
demand
for
energy
efficient
products
in
the
market.
This
information
is
aggregated
and
used
to
evaluate
ENERGY
STAR
overall
to
ensure
continued
success
and
benefits
to
Partners.

Partner
of
the
Year
Applications
EPA
uses
information
in
the
Partner
of
the
Year
Application
to
provide
public
recognition
to
ENERGY
STAR
Partners
that
have
initiated
exemplary
activities
to
educate
the
public
and
their
employees
about
energy
efficiency
and
ENERGY

NONDUPLICATION
6
The
information
to
be
obtained
under
this
ICR
has
not
been
collected
by
EPA
or
any
other
federal
agency.
In
addition,
the
requested
information
is
based
on
a
particular

is
not
sufficient.
CPPD
will
ensure
that
information
collected
will
not
duplicate
any
ongoing
recordkeeping

EFFECTS
OF
LESS
FREQUENT
COLLECTION
The
development
of
a
Partnership
Agreement
is
a
one­
time
information
submittal;
less
frequent
collection
is
not
possible.
Submission
of
information
for
each
qualifying
product
is
required
as
a
one­
time
information
submittal;
less
frequent
collection
is
not
possible.
However,
annual
updates,
notifying
EPA
of
any
changes
in
qualifying
product
information,
are
required
in
order
to
ensure
that
EPA
records
reflect
the
most
up
to
date
information.
Qualifying
product
information
is
posted
on
EPA's
Web
site
and
is
provided
to
the
public
as
requested,
therefore
annual
updates
are
necessary
to
ensure
that
accurate
information
is
disseminated.
7
EPA
requires
the
submission
of
unit
shipment
data
on
an
annual
basis
in
order
to
monitor
and
evaluate
the
program
annually
to
determine
whether
program
adjustments
are
required
to
ensure
continued
program
success
and
benefits
to
Partners.

Roof
product
and
residential
light
fixture
Partners
are
required
to
submit
testing
reports
as
they
submit
qualifying
product
information.
Submission
of
test
reports
will
be
a
one­
time
information
request.
New
test
reports
will
not
be
required
as
long
as
no
changes
have
been
made
to
the
product
that
would
affect
its
qualification
with
the
ENERGY
STAR
criteria.
It
was
determined
that
this
additional
information
must
be
submitted
by
Partners
of
only
these
two
product
categories
because
of
industry
concerns
regarding
the
validity
of
qualifying
product
information
submitted.
Submission
of
testing
reports
is
seen
as
a
way
to
verify
the
accuracy
product
information
submitted
by
individual
manufacturing
Partners.

ENERGY
STAR
Partners
may
submit
a
Partner
of
the
Year
Award
application
annually.
EPA
requires
this
information
to
provide
public
recognition
to
Partners.
However,
Partners
are
not
required
to
submit
an
award
application.

COLLECTION
METHODOLOGY
AND
MANAGEMENT
In
collecting
and
analyzing
the
information
associated
with
this
ICR,
EPA
will
use
a
telephone
system,
personal
computers,
and
applicable
database
software.
EPA
will
ensure
accuracy
and
completeness
of
collected
information
by
reviewing
each
submittal.
EPA
will
enter
the
information
obtained
into
a
database
and
will
aggregate
data
obtained
in
order
to
make
that
information
available
to
the
public
and
monitor
the
progress
of
program
implementation.

5.
c
SMALL
ENTITY
FLEXIBILITY
EPA
expects
that
small
entities
will
participate
in
ENERGY
STAR
product
labeling.
EPA
has
designed
information
requirements
to
minimize
respondent
burden
while
obtaining
sufficient
and
accurate
information.
In
addition,
the
initial
agreement
to
participate
in
the
program
is
voluntary.

5.
d
COLLECTION
SCHEDULE
EPA
collects
initial
information
in
the
Partnership
Agreement,
which
is
completed
and
submitted
by
every
Partner
participating
in
ENERGY
STAR.
Every
manufacturing
Partner
is
required
to
submit
information
on
each
of
their
qualifying
products.
Annual
updates,
notifying
EPA
of
any
changes
in
qualifying
product
information,
are
required
as
well.
ENERGY
STAR
Partners
for
residential
light
fixtures
and
roof
products
are
required
to
submit
testing
reports
for
each
product
determined
to
by
qualified
with
the
ENERGY
STAR
criteria.
EPA
also
requires
that
manufacturing
Partners
submit
information
on
their
unit
shipments
of
ENERGY
STAR
labeled
products
annually.
Partners
interested
in
receiving
recognition
for
their
efforts
on
ENERGY
STAR
are
required
to
submit
a
Partner
of
the
Year
Award
application.

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
6.
a
ESTIMATING
RESPONDENT
BURDEN
EPA
conducted
consultations
with
ENERGY
STAR
Partners
to
estimate
respondent
burden
hours
for
the
activities
covered
by
this
ICR.
Exhibit
1
presents
the
estimated
annual
respondent
burden
for
information
collection
activities
associated
with
ENERGY

ESTIMATING
RESPONDENT
COSTS
Exhibit
1
presents
the
estimated
annual
respondent
costs
for
information
collection
activities
associated
with
ENERGY
STAR
product
labeling.
The
estimated
annual
respondent
costs
are
discussed
below.

Estimating
Labor
Costs
14
The
labor
rates
used
to
determine
the
estimated
costs
to
respondents
are
consistent
with
the
hourly
wage
rates
published
by
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
publications
on
employment
and
earnings.
Rates
reflect
a
graded
scale
and
include
the
cost
of
overhead
and
fringe
benefits
where
appropriate.
EPA
estimates
an
average
respondent
hourly
labor
rate
(
hourly
plus
overhead)
of
$
100.51
for
legal
staff,
$
85.63
for
managerial
staff,
$
59.75
for
technical
staff,
and
$
34.25
for
clerical
staff.

Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
(
O&
M)
Costs
EPA
estimates
that
ENERGY
STAR
Partners
may
incur
capital
and
operations
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
specific
activities.
Respondents
may
incur
capital
costs
in
the
average
amount
of
$
167
associated
with
completing
and
reviewing
the
information
requested
in
the
Partnership
Agreement.
In
addition,
respondents
who
manufacture
roof
products
or
residential
light
fixtures
will
incur
an
average
of
$
500
to
perform
testing
in­
house
or
through
a
third
party
for
each
product
they
qualify
for
ENERGY
STAR.

Respondents
will
incur
an
average
amount
of
$
230
for
various
operations
and
maintenance
costs
to
meet
the
information
requirements
of
ENERGY
STAR.
These
costs
are
for
expenses
such
as
photocopying,
printing,
creating
binders,
use
of
paper,
and
using
express
mailing
services.

6.
c
ESTIMATING
AGENCY
BURDEN
AND
COSTS
EPA
conducted
consultations
with
their
staff
who
work
on
ENERGY
STAR
product
labeling
to
obtain
agency
burden
hour
estimate
for
all
activities
required
by
the
Agency.
The
hourly
labor
rates
used
to
determine
the
estimated
costs
to
the
Agency
are
consistent
with
annual
labor
rates
published
in
the
Federal
Register
and
are
based
on
the
2002
GS
pay
schedule
available
from
the
Office
of
Personnel
Management.
EPA
estimates
an
average
hourly
labor
cost
of
$
63.52
for
legal
staff;
$
59.40
for
managerial
staff;
$
43.55
for
technical
staff;
and
$
17.49
for
clerical
staff.
The
labor
costs
are
based
on
the
following
GS
levels
and
steps:
legal
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
15,
Step
1;
managerial
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
14,
Step
4;
technical
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
12
Step
5;
and
clerical
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
5,
Step
1.
To
derive
hourly
estimates,
EPA
divided
annual
compensation
by
2,080
which
is
the
number
of
hours
in
the
Federal
work­
year.
EPA
then
multiplied
hourly
rates
by
the
standard
government
overhead
factor
of
1.6.

EPA
anticipates
several
instances
of
Agency
O&
M
costs
associated
with
ENERGY
STAR
product
labeling
information
collection
activities.
To
disseminate
Partnership
Agreements
and
Welcome
Aboard
Packs
once
signed
Partnership
Agreement
are
received
from
Partners,
EPA
anticipates
a
cost
of
$
1.39.
This
corresponds
to
the
cost
to
mail
a
standard
9.5"
x
12"
manila
envelope
containing
30
pieces
of
paper
via
first
class
mail.
In
addition,
EPA
anticipates
a
cost
of
$
0.34
to
mail
a
letter
of
award
or
loss
to
Partners
who
submit
Partner
of
the
Year
applications.
15
Exhibit
2
shows
the
aggregate
annual
Agency
burden
and
costs
for
the
information
collection
activities
associated
with
ENERGY
STAR
product
labeling
activities.
The
annual
burden
to
the
Agency
is
approximately
9,549
hours,
at
a
cost
of
approximately
$
413,361.
The
three­
year,
bottom­
line
burden
for
the
life
of
this
ICR
is
therefore
28,647
hours
and
$
1,240,083.

ESTIMATING
THE
RESPONDENT
UNIVERSE
AND
TOTAL
BURDEN
AND
COSTS
Respondent
Universe
The
universe
of
each
respondent
activity
varies
depending
upon
the
specific
activity.
The
respondent
universe
for
each
information
collection
activity
associated
with
ENERGY
STAR
product
labeling
is
presented
and
explained
separately
below.

Partnership
Agreement
One
overarching
Partnership
Agreement
has
been
developed
by
EPA
for
ENERGY
STAR
product
labeling.
It
is
expected
that
118
new
Partners
will
join
each
year
for
the
three
years
of
this
ICR.

Qualifying
Product
Information
Thirty­
two
different
product
categories
are
covered
by
EPA
under
ENERGY
STAR.
Each
product
category
has
specific
qualifying
product
information
that
must
be
submitted
by
each
Partner
for
at
least
one
qualifying
product.
Qualifying
product
information
is
expected
for
3,112
new
qualifying
products
each
year
for
the
three
years
of
this
ICR.
The
qualifying
product
list
for
each
product
category
is
updated
by
the
Agency
once
each
month,
for
a
total
of
384
times
annually
(
32
product
categories
times
12
months
in
a
year).
Approximately
twice
each
month
the
Agency
receives
a
request
for
qualifying
product
information
that
cannot
be
fulfilled
by
the
ENERGY
STAR
Web
site,
for
a
total
of
768
requests.

Testing
Reports
Testing
reports
are
required
to
be
submitted
for
qualifying
products
by
roof
product
and
residential
light
fixture
Partners
only.
It
is
anticipated
that
qualifying
product
information
for
654
new
roof
and
residential
light
fixture
products
will
be
received
by
EPA
each
year
for
the
three
years
of
this
ICR.

Unit
Shipment
Data
Each
year,
ENERGY
STAR
Partners
are
required
to
submit
unit
shipment
data
for
their
ENERGY
STAR
labeled
products.
There
will
be
an
average
of
1,143
total
Partners
each
year
for
the
three­
years
of
this
ICR.
Therefore,
1,143
reports
of
unit
shipment
data
are
expected
each
year
for
the
three
years
of
this
ICR.
Unit
shipment
data
will
be
aggregated
for
each
of
the
32
product
categories
covered
by
EPA
under
ENERGY
STAR.
16
Partner
of
the
Year
Award
Application
One
set
of
Partner
of
the
Year
award
criteria
are
developed
by
the
Agency
each
year
and
posted
on
the
ENERGY
STAR
web
site.
An
average
of
30
Partners
of
the
Year
Award
applications
are
expected
each
year
for
the
three
years
of
this
ICR.
