respondent is expected to be aware of
relevant aspects of the company’s
charging infrastructure and program if
such exists, such that the gathering of
information is not expected to be very
resource consuming. DOE will continue
to compile and issue an annual progress
update that would provide an update on
the Workplace Charging Challenge
program partners’ activities, as well as
report on metrics DOE is evaluating
related to energy consumption, costs,
numbers of employers in the program,
and best practices that can be identified
for the purpose of helping others take
steps to deploy charging infrastructure.
The following are reports and
documents available to date:
• Workplace Charging Challenge 2014
Progress Update: Employers Take
Charge
• Workplace Charging Challenge MidProgram Review: Employees Plug In
• Plug-In Electric Vehicle Handbook for
Workplace Charging Hosts
• Install and Manage Workplace
Charging
• Costs Associated With NonResidential Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment
The Challenge effort will continue to
rely on data the Partners will provide
via an online response tool. The data
collection would continue to address
the following topic areas: (1) Charging
infrastructure and use; (2) employee
PEV ownership and PEV knowledge;
and (3) feedback on the Challenge.
The data would continue to be
compiled for the purpose of assessing
and setting forth in the annual progress
updates the Workplace Charging
Challenge program’s impact in terms of
increasing both the number of
employers offering workplace charging
and the deployment of EVSEs and PEVs.
As is done presently, the data and
subsequent analyses will allow DOE to
compare historical records dynamically,
and provide the opportunity for DOE to
determine annual progress toward
Workplace Charging Challenge goals.
Calculation of progress and impacts will
continue to be undertaken on an annual
basis.
The Workplace Charging Challenge
program is targeted at U.S. employers.
Providing initial baseline information
for each participating employer, which
occurs only once, is expected to take 1.5
hours. Follow-up questions and
clarifications for the purpose of
ensuring accurate analyses may take up
to 3.5 hours; (5) Annual Estimated
Number of Respondents: 400; (6)
Annual Estimated Number of Total
Responses: 400; (7) Annual Estimated

Energy.
ACTION: Notice of public scoping,
request for comment, and
announcement of public scoping
meeting.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) is proposing to authorize
the expenditure of federal funding for
the design, construction, operation,
maintenance, and decommissioning of
‘‘Project Icebreaker,’’ a 20-megawatt
offshore wind renewable energy project
that would be located in Lake Erie,
approximately 8 miles off Cleveland,
Ohio. The proposed project would
consist of up to six wind turbine
generators and the necessary electrical
transmission facilities (i.e. underwater
and underground cable) to connect to
the Cleveland Public Power Lake Road
Substation. The Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) anticipates receiving
an application pursuant to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act and Section 10
of the Rivers and Harbors Act for the
proposed project. The U.S. Coast Guard
(USCG) is responsible for reviewing
impacts related to navigation and the
USCG mission.
Pursuant to the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), DOE is preparing an
Environmental Assessment (EA) to
identify and analyze potential impacts
to the human environment that may
occur if DOE authorizes the expenditure
of federal funding in support of Project
Icebreaker. The USACE and the USCG
are cooperating agencies in preparation
