these partnership programs.
Organizations that join these programs
voluntarily agree to the following
respective actions: (1) Designating a
Green Power or CHP Partnership
liaison; (2) for the Green Power

green power commitment via a 1-page
Green Power Partner Yearly Report; (3)
for the CHP Partnership, reporting to
EPA information on their existing CHP
projects and project development
activity via the CHP Partner Projects
Data Form. The EPA uses the data
obtained from its Partners to assess the
success of these programs in achieving
their national energy and greenhouse
gas reduction goals.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed

the CHP Partnership, 2.0 hours for end
user Partners to complete the CHP
Partner Projects Data Form report on
completed CHP projects (a one-time
report), or 1.7 hours per year for CHP
project updates for Partners with
ongoing CHP project development
activities. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes

and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
