SUMMARY:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
clearance, a proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The
proposed collection will enable a userbased evaluation of submitted entries to
the Bright Tomorrow Lighting
Competition (L Prize®) competition. The
L Prize competition was authorized to
encourage development and
deployment of highly energy efficient
solid-state lighting products. The
proposed collection will assist in
evaluating the entries in a real-world
environment to insure that winning
products do not exhibit undesirable or
poor qualities that are not identified
from formal laboratory testing by the
DOE. These undesirable attributes could
be a hindrance to sales of the winning
product and could negatively impact the
energy reduction potential of the
competition. Additionally, the DOE
wishes to gauge program success by
periodically obtaining quantitative data
about the effectiveness of the
promotions and campaigns which are
directly tied to L Prize winners. The
quantitative data will be a survey asking
five qualitative questions about the
occupant’s overall satisfaction of the
lights. The brief assessments will be
collected by the site’s partner sponsor
and returned, along with the entrant
lamps, to DOE at the conclusion of the
field assessment.
DATES: Comments regarding this
collection must be received on or before
July 30, 2012. If you anticipate that you
will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, please
advise the DOE Desk Officer at OMB of
your intention to make a submission as
soon as possible. The Desk Officer may
be telephoned at 202–395–4650.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Collection Request Title: Bright
Tomorrow Lighting Competition (L
Prize®): Field Assessment and Post
Prize Monitoring; (3) Type of Request:
New collection; (4) Purpose: The Bright
Tomorrow Lighting Competition was
authorized in the Energy Independence
and Security Act of 2007 (EISA),
Subtitle E, Section 655, to encourage
development and deployment of highly
energy efficient solid-state lighting
(SSL) products to replace several of the
most common lighting products
currently used in the United States.
Field assessments contribute to the
evaluation of L Prize entries in a wide
range of lighting applications.
The field assessments evaluate energy
use of the installed product, the lighting
system performance compared to the
existing technology, and user feedback.
The objective of field testing is to obtain
installation data and user acceptance, in
order to evaluate the product and
determine its potential to be declared a
winner. Additionally, DOE plans to
monitor the impact of the L Prize
competition through post-prize
monitoring of incentive programs,
educational campaigns, and retail
promotions. This monitoring will
include measuring the number of
customers reached, bulbs sold, energy
savings, and other tangible benefits.; (5)
