    Abstract: GreenChill is a voluntary partnership program sponsored 
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that encourages food 
retailers and manufacturers to adopt cost effective technologies and 
practices that reduce refrigerant emissions and improve operational 
efficiency. The GreenChill Program works with the food retail industry 
to lower barriers inhibiting the implementation of technologies and 
practices that reduce refrigerant emissions. The Program effectively 
promotes the adoption of emission reduction practices and technologies 
by engaging GreenChill Partners to set an annual refrigerant emission 
reduction

goal and develop a refrigerant management plan reflecting the company's 
implementation objectives. Implementation of the Partners' 
refrigeration management plan to reduce refrigerant emissions enhances 
the protection of the environment and may save Partners money and 
improve operational efficiency. The GreenChill Program offers the 
opportunity for any individual store to earn GreenChill Certification 
at the silver, gold, platinum, or other level when it demonstrates that 
the amount of refrigerant used is below a specified limit, based on the 
store's million British Thermal Units per hour (MBTU/hr) cooling load, 
and that the refrigerant emitted from the store in the prior 12 months 
is below a specified percentage depending on each GreenChill Store 
Certification level. Information submitted for the certification of 
individual stores is compared to these set criteria for each 
certification level. The certification of a store provides the 
opportunity for broad recognition within the food retail industry and 
with the store's customers.
    Form numbers: 5900-213, 5900-214, 5900-586, 5900-587, 5900-588, 
5900-589, 5900-590, 5900-591, 5900-592.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action listed under the North American Industry Classification 
System (NAICS) code for 445110, Supermarkets.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 774 (per year).
    Frequency of response: Annual, and when desired
    Total estimated burden: 5,863 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
    Total estimated cost: $490,358 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is increase of 3,255 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is primarily due to growth, by a factor 
of almost four, in the number of stores participating in the Store 
Certification Program.
