Abstract: GreenChill is a voluntary partnership program sponsored
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that encourages food
retailers and manufacturers to adopt cost effective technologies and
practices that reduce refrigerant emissions and improve operational
efficiency. The GreenChill Program works with the food retail industry
to lower barriers inhibiting the implementation of technologies and
practices that reduce refrigerant emissions. The Program effectively
promotes the adoption of emission reduction practices and technologies
by engaging GreenChill Partners to set an annual refrigerant emission
reduction
[[Page 18138]]
goal and develop a refrigerant management plan reflecting the company's
implementation objectives. Implementation of the Partners'
refrigeration management plan to reduce refrigerant emissions enhances
the protection of the environment and may save Partners money and
improve operational efficiency. The GreenChill Program offers the
opportunity for any individual store to earn GreenChill Certification
at the silver, gold, platinum, or other level when it demonstrates that
the amount of refrigerant used is below a specified limit, based on the
store's million British Thermal Units per hour (MBTU/hr) cooling load,
and that the refrigerant emitted from the store in the prior 12 months
is below a specified percentage depending on each GreenChill Store
Certification level. Information submitted for the certification of
individual stores is compared to these set criteria for each
certification level. The certification of a store provides the
opportunity for broad recognition within the food retail industry and
with the store's customers.

5900-589, 5900-590, 5900-591, 5900-592.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action listed under the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) code for 445110, Supermarkets.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents: 774 (per year).
Frequency of response: Annual, and when desired
Total estimated burden: 5,863 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
Total estimated cost: $490,358 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is increase of 3,255 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is primarily due to growth, by a factor
of almost four, in the number of stores participating in the Store
Certification Program.
