    (3) Type of Request: New.
    (4) Purpose: DOE's ``CHP Technical Potential in the U.S.'' shows 
significant technical potential in commercial buildings and industrial 
facilities in the < 10MW size range. Due to building characteristic 
similarities, this size range is particularly disposed to 
standardization of CHP systems. The e-Catalog creates a mechanism to 
take advantage of this standardization including the risk and cost 
reduction that are expected to ensue. This request for information 
consists of a voluntary data collection process for e-Catalog 
participation: to enroll CHP packagers and CHP solutions providers; 
develop an e-Catalog of packaged CHP systems; and relay the benefits of 
packaged CHP system performance to industry. Typical respondents are 
expected to be CHP project developers, CHP designers and packagers, and 
state and local energy program offices. Each respondent should have 
experience with compiling the data requested. Participation in the e-
Catalog is voluntary, and it is expected that respondents would already 
have access to the information requested in this collection.
    There are four types of information to be collected from primary 
participants: (1) Background data, including contact information and 
basic information about the CHP packager's experience with CHP design, 
durability and performance testing--collected in the CHP Packager 
Enrollment Form; (2) Background data, including contact information and 
basic information about the CHP solutions provider's experience with 
CHP design, durability and performance testing, installation, operation 
and maintenance--collected in the CHP Solutions Provider Enrolment 
Form; (3) contact information and program description of market 
engagement programs that support Packaged CHP systems--collected in the 
Market Engagement Registration Form; and (4) Information, including 
packaged system component descriptions, design data, full-load and 
part-load performance data at three ambient conditions--collected in 
Packaged CHP System Application Form; Background data will primarily be 
used as a means to recognize CHP packers and solution providers, and 
establish the e-Catalog.

    (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 177;
    (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 739;

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
