Title: Information Collection Activities Associated With EPA’S ENERGY STAR Program In The Residential Sector—ICR Number 2193.01. Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced ENERGY STAR in 1992 to label energy efficient computers. Since then, EPA and the Department of Energy (DOE) have expanded the ENERGY STAR Program to promote energy efficiency in over 40 product categories and in PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 commercial and residential buildings. Increased energy efficiency through ENERGY STAR provides cost savings to businesses and homeowners, reduces greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, and increases U.S. energy security and reliability. EPA announced ENERGY STAR for New Homes in 1995 as part of its effort to promote energy efficient construction in the new homes market. EPA rolled out its existing homes effort in 2000 to promote cost-effective upgrades to the existing homes market. These two efforts promote home envelope improvements such as the proper installation of adequate insulation, sealing of holes and gaps that allow air into the home, and installation of energy efficient windows. In addition to the home envelope, EPA promotes energy efficient heating and cooling equipment, including sealing leaky ducts that distribute conditioned air. Currently, partners to these two ENERGY STAR efforts are not required to report information to EPA, and information received to date has been submitted voluntarily to EPA. However, EPA believes that partner feedback is essential for EPA to ensure that the current programs are meeting both partners’ and EPA’s expectations. EPA has developed this ICR to obtain authorization to collect information from the public, including businesses, for the following activities: ENERGY STAR Partnership: An organization interested in joining ENERGY STAR as a partner is asked to submit a partnership agreement establishing their commitment to promoting ENERGY STAR. Partners agree to undertake efforts such as educating staff and the public about their partnership with ENERGY STAR, developing and implementing a plan to improve energy performance in homes, and highlighting achievements utilizing the ENERGY STAR logos. Partners are encouraged to undertake related activities for added benefit and/or public recognition, such as committing to build 100% ENERGY STAR qualified new homes or offering homebuyers ENERGY STAR’s Advanced Lighting Package. Information collected is used to inform the public of organizations that build and promote ENERGY STAR qualified homes and make energyefficient improvements to existing homes. Partnership is voluntary and can be terminated by partners or EPA at any time. EPA does not expect organizations to join the program unless they expect participation to be cost-effective and otherwise beneficial for them. Outreach Partnership: Partners have the opportunity to participate in an E:\FR\FM\11AUN1.SGM 11AUN1
