SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection request
contains: (1) OMB No.: 1910-5184; (2) Information Collection Request
Titled: Programs for Improving Energy Efficiency in Buildings; (3) Type
of Review: extension; (4) Purpose: The proposed collection will enable
DOE to understand the universe of organizations participating in
building load management programs, including the following four
voluntary programs: the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program, the
Home Energy Score Program, the Better Buildings Residential Network,
and the Zero Energy Ready Home Program. DOE encourages and assists the
people and organizations that voluntarily participate in energy
efficiency programs to build or renovate buildings for the purposes of
improved efficiency, reliability, and affordability. The partners who
voluntarily participate in the programs include: home builders,
building trades and building-related associations, home design
professionals, home energy raters and auditors, home inspectors,
building consultants, manufacturers of building products, retailers,
utility companies, financial institutions, non-profit organizations,
educational institutions, energy program administrators and
implementers, Home Performance with ENERGY STAR sponsors, state or
local government energy offices or agencies, and other organizations
that believe peer sharing will help them improve their effectiveness in
encouraging effective energy upgrades. DOE proposes to continue to
collect information such as names of program participants and names of
organizations and addresses; estimates of how many homes they can get
to participate in the programs; information about building stock (no
building owner information is collected), and load management
strategies. The collected information helps DOE understand the
participating partners' activities and progress toward achieving
scheduled milestones enabling DOE to make decisions about the best way
to respond to partners' needs to improve their operations and actions
to lower energy consumption and improve affordability. DOE published a
notice and request for comments related to this current request for OMB
clearance to collect information on April 20, 2023 (88 FR 24395) and
received no comments; (5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 969;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 45,170; (7) Annual
Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 19,397; (8) Annual Estimated
Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: zero.
Statutory Authority: The U.S. Code, title 42, chapter 149,
subchapter IX, part A, section 16191--Energy Efficiency.
