technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and

and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently

respond to a collection of information;

and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The estimated total cost for
respondents is $7,056,533 and the
hourly burden is approximately 89,150
hours. This cost includes an estimated
burden cost of $6,817,702 and an
estimated cost of $238,831 for capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs. The estimated total
cost for the Agency is $468,724 and the
hourly burden is approximately 11,932
hours. This cost includes an estimated
burden cost of $467,508 and an
estimated cost of $1,216 for capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs. A grand total of
$7,525,257 and an hourly burden of
approximately 101,082 hours are
expected for all information collection
activities under ENERGY STAR product
labeling.
EPA collects initial information in the
Partnership Agreement (PA), which is
completed and submitted by every
Partner participating in ENERGY STAR.
One overarching PA has been developed
by EPA for ENERGY STAR product
labeling. It is expected that 292 new
Partners will join each year for the three
years of this ICR. The reporting burden
for information collection requirements
associated with completing the PA for
each respondent is estimated to be 4.20
hours. This estimate includes time for
reviewing the instructions on the PA,
completing and reviewing the
information requested by the PA, and
submitting the PA.
Every manufacturing Partner is
required to submit information on each
of their qualifying products. Annual
updates, at minimum, notifying EPA of
any changes in qualifying product
information, are required as well.
Thirty-three 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.
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Qualifying product information is
expected for 9,986 new qualifying
products each year for the three years of
this ICR. The qualifying product list for
each product category is updated by the
VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:05 Jul 12, 2007 Jkt 211001
Agency once each month, for a total of
396 times annually (32 qualifying
product lists multiplied by 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 792
requests. The reporting burden for
information collection requirements
associated with completing qualifying
product information for each qualifying
product submitted by a respondent is
estimated to be 4.85 hours. This
estimate includes time for reviewing
instructions, completing and reviewing
the information requested, and
submitting the information.
ENERGY STAR Partners for
residential light fixtures and roof
products are required to submit testing
reports for each product determined to
be ENERGY STAR qualified. It is
anticipated that qualifying product
information for 4,464 new roof and
residential light fixture products will be
received by EPA each year for the three
years of this ICR. The reporting burden
for information collection requirements
associated with testing reports by roof
product and residential light fixture
Partners for each qualifying product
submitted by a respondent is estimated
to be 14.30 hours. This estimate
includes performing testing in-house or
by a Third Party, assembling the data
into a report format, reviewing it, and
submitting it.
Each year, ENERGY STAR Partners
are required to submit unit shipment
data for their ENERGY STAR qualified
products. There will be an average of
692 total Partners each year for the three
years of this ICR. Therefore, 692 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 33 product categories
covered by EPA under ENERGY STAR.
The reporting burden for information
collection requirements associated with
unit shipment data for each respondent
is estimated to be 6.69 hours. This
estimate includes reviewing
instructions, gathering unit shipment
data, compiling and reviewing it by
category, and submitting it.
Partners interested in receiving
recognition for their efforts on ENERGY
STAR are required to submit a Partner
of the Year 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 17 award applications are
expected each year for the three years of
this ICR. The reporting burden for
information collection requirements
associated with the Partner of the Year
PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM
application for each respondent is
estimated to be 59.29 hours. This
estimate includes reviewing instructions
on the application, gathering data and
information for submission, completing
the application, reviewing the
information and narrative description
required, and submitting the application
to EPA.
Are There Changes in the Estimates
from the Last Approval?
There is an increase of approximately
18,483 hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that
identified in the ICR currently approved
by OMB. Although the estimated burden
hours for each individual collection
activity decreased, the overall increase
in burden hours reflects the increased
number of roof products and residential
light fixture Partners that are required to
submit testing reports along with
qualifying product information. The
currently approved ICR estimated 654
respondents, whereas this ICR estimates
4,464 respondents for this activity. This
change is an adjustment.
What is the Next Step in the Process for
this ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR
