Abstract: EPA created ENERGY STAR as a voluntary program to help businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. The program focuses on reducing utility-generated emissions by reducing the demand for energy. In 1991, EPA launched the Green Lights Program to encourage corporations, state and local governments, colleges and universities, and other organizations to adopt energy-efficient lighting as a profitable means of preventing pollution and improving lighting quality. Since then, EPA has rolled Green Lights into ENERGY STAR and expanded ENERGY STAR to encompass organization-wide energy performance improvement, such as building technology upgrades, product purchasing initiatives, and employee training. At the same time, EPA has streamlined the reporting requirements of ENERGY STAR and focused on providing incentives for improvements (e.g., ENERGY STAR Awards Program). To join ENERGY STAR, organizations are asked to complete a Partnership Agreement that establishes their commitment to energy efficiency. Partners agree to undertake efforts such as measuring, tracking, and benchmarking their organization’s energy performance by using tools such as those offered by ENERGY STAR; developing and implementing a plan to improve energy performance in their facilities and operations by adopting a strategy provided by ENERGY STAR; PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and educating staff and the public about their Partnership with ENERGY STAR, and highlighting achievements with the ENERGY STAR, where available. In addition, Partners and any other interested party can evaluate the efficiency of their buildings using EPA’s online tools (e.g., Portfolio Manager) and apply for recognition. Form numbers: 5900–19, 5900–22, 5900–89, 5900–195, 5900–197, 5900– 198, 5900–262, 5900–263, 5900–264, 5900–265, 5900–382, 5900–383, 5900– 387, 5900–436 and 5900–437. Respondents/affected entities: EPA’s ENERGY STAR Program in the Commercial and Industrial Sectors. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 37,021 (total). Frequency of response: One-time, annually, or on occasion. Total estimated burden: 210,306 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $14,859,991 (per year), includes $5,034,450 in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 43,778 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due in part to program enhancements and clarifications. The decrease is also due to EPA’s adjustments to its burden estimates. For example, EPA adjusted its analysis of its online tool, Portfolio Manager, to reflect data indicating that, although use of the tool is increasing, users are spending less time per building benchmarked, on average, than in the past.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Incinerators (40 CFR part 60, subpart E) apply to existing incinerators that charge more than 45 metric tons per day (50 tons per day) of solid waste, and that commenced either construction or modification after August 17, 1971. Solid waste is defined as refuse, more than 50 percent of which is municipal type waste consisting of a mixture of paper, wood, yard wastes, food wastes, plastics, leather, rubber, and other combustibles, and noncombustible materials such as glass and rock. Owners and operators of existing incinerators that charge more than 45 metric tons per day (50 tons per day) of solid waste, and that commenced construction or modification after August 17, 1971 are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as for the applicable standards in 40 CFR part 60, subpart E. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart E. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Existing incinerators that charge more than 45 metric tons per day (50 tons per day) of solid waste, and that commenced either construction or modification after August 17, 1971.

Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is negative or non-existent. There is an increase in O&M costs in PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 50829 this ICR compared to the previous ICR.
