Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. 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. At that time, EPA

will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: In 2002, EPA launched two
new partnership programs with industry
and other stakeholders: The Green
Power Partnership (GPP) and the
Combined Heat and Power Partnership
(CHPP). These voluntary partnership
programs encourage organizations to
invest in clean, efficient energy
technologies, including renewable
energy and combined heat and power.
To continue to be successful, it is
critical that EPA collect information
from GPP and CHPP Partners to ensure
these organizations are meeting their
renewable energy and CHP goals and to
assure the credibility of these voluntary
partnership programs.
EPA has developed this ICR to obtain
authorization to collect information
from organizations participating in the
GPP and CHPP. Organizations that join
these programs voluntarily agree to the
following respective actions: (1)
Designating a Green Power or CHP
liaison and filling out a Partnership
Agreement or Letter of Intent (LOI)
respectively, (2) for the GPP, reporting
to EPA, on an annual basis, their
progress toward their green power
commitment via a 3-page reporting
form; (3) for the CHP Partnership,
reporting to EPA information on their
existing CHP projects, new project
development, and other CHP-related
activities via a one-page reporting form
(for projects) or via an informal email or
phone call (for other CHP-related
activities). EPA uses the data obtained
from its Partners to assess the success of
these programs in achieving their
national energy and greenhouse gas
(GHG) reduction goals. Partners are
organizational entities that have
volunteered to participate in either
Partnership program.
Form Numbers: EPA–430–K–013,
EPA–430–F–05–034.
Respondents/affected entities:
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents:
2,565.
Frequency of response: Annually, on
Occasion, One time.
Total estimated burden: 8,191 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $706,709 (per
year), includes $7,478 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is an
increase of 2,368 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

OMB. The average number of hours per
Partners remained the same at 3.2 hours,
pending a partner survey to determine
the results of these efficiencies. The
total hourly burden increased because
due to an increase in the number of
Partners. For perspective on the
magnitude of partner growth, the
number of Partners at the end of 2011
was 1,308, and at the end of 2014 there
is was 2,041.
The total cost estimate (including
both Respondents and Agency burden)
over the 3 year period for this renewal
ICR is $2,805,913, or an average of
$935,304 per year, of which $7,749 is
O&M costs. The total cost to GPP and
CHP Partners is $2,120,126, or $706,709
per year. The total cost estimate increase
for Partners is due to an increase in the
number of Partners and increases in
wages.
