ACTION: Notice of request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, intends to revise and extend for three years, an
information collection request with the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). The revision of the collection of information relates to DOE's
recognition for 50001 Ready and ISO 50001 certification, OMB Control
No. 1910-5177.
DATES: Comments regarding this proposed information collection must be
received on or before November 17, 2025. If you anticipate any
difficulty in submitting comments within that period, contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section as soon as
possible.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be sent to Anne Hampson, EE-5A/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the extended collection of
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
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
This information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1910-5177;
(2) Information Collection Request Titled: Department of Energy
Recognition for 50001 Ready and ISO 50001 Certification Information
Collection Request. This information collection request was formerly
titled ``Department of Energy Superior Energy Performance 50001 Program
Certification and 50001 Ready Recognition Information Collection
Request'' and is being retitled to reflect updated DOE recognition
pathways for energy management systems implementation;
(3) Type of Review: Revision;
(4) Purpose: This Information Collection Request applies to the
Department of Energy (DOE) voluntary recognition pathways for 50001
Ready and ISO 50001 certification for industrial companies, as well as
commercial and institutional organizations. The information collection
remains necessary to ensure that DOE's recognition offerings continue
to deliver energy benefits and value to participants. 50001 Ready
recognition is provided to facilities that self-attest their
implementation of an energy management system based on the ISO 50001
international energy management system standard. DOE also recognizes
organizations and facilities that achieved third-party certification to
the ISO 50001 standard.
This request for information consists of a voluntary data
collection process for facilities and organizations seeking recognition
for ISO 50001-based energy management system implementation and
certification: to manage participation, respond to participants, track
recognition cycles, and recognize achievements of its participants.
DOE is proposing revisions to this collection, including the
removal of three forms associated with the former Superior Energy
Performance 50001 (SEP 50001) program, which was an accredited
certification scheme under the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) National Accreditation Board (ANAB). The SEP 50001 Application
collected information required to enroll a facility planning to pursue
ISO 50001 and SEP 50001 certification. The SEP 50001 Energy Performance
Improvement Report collected information from SEP 50001 Verification
Bodies to confirm the outcomes of facility certifications. The SEP
50001 Scorecard collected information from facilities that requested
elevated levels of recognition for energy management achievements
exceeding ISO 50001 and SEP 50001 requirements.
With the conclusion of SEP 50001, this collection is adding two
brief attestation forms that enable ISO 50001-certified facilities and
organizations to engage DOE and request recognition. Users self-select
a form based on the number of ISO 50001-certified facilities requesting
DOE recognition. Individual facilities will use the ISO 50001
Certification Recognition Attestation Form for single sites.
Organizations with multiple sites will use the ISO 50001 Certification
Recognition Attestation Form for multi-site.
Facilities and multisite organizations that seek recognition for
50001 Ready or ISO 50001 certification provide background data and
basic facility energy use, energy consumption, and energy performance.
Background data includes contact information and basic information
about the entity requesting DOE recognition. Organizations will self-
select which recognition they are requesting and submit one of the
following: the 50001 Ready Attestation Form, the ISO 50001
Certification Recognition Form for single sites, or the ISO 50001
Certification Recognition Form for multisite. This data is primarily
used to track basic information on recognized facilities and respond to
participants' inquiries.
Basic facility information about energy use, energy consumption,
and energy performance is collected in the 50001 Ready Energy
Performance Improvement Report. This information is used to administer
the recognitions, manage recognition cycles, track the results of ISO
50001-based energy management systems implementation, and enable DOE to
evaluate its technical resources and recognition pathways and identify
potential improvements to remain relevant to users. DOE's online
system, the 50001 Ready Navigator, enables participants to submit all
forms electronically. Responses to the DOE's Information Collection
Request will be voluntary.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 400;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 400;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 300;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden:
$20,425.
