Title: Energy Star Product Labeling
Type of Information Collection: No material or nonsubstantive change to a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular

	Date Received in OIRA: 03/25/2010
Terms of Clearance: This request to change an existing information collection is disapproved. EPA has requested to add a number of forms that would be used in the designation of additional source categories as “Energy Star”. However EPA has not demonstrated that the collection of information would be subject to sufficiently robust program integrity improvements and analytical methods to ensure that this information will have practical utility consistent with the 5 CFR 1320. OMB recommends that the Agency consider revising and resubmitting the information collection request after completing planned initiatives to improve Energy Star program integrity, and that the resubmitted request be consistent with EPA and OMB guidance; we would be happy to work closely with EPA to facilitate this resubmission. The previous terms of clearance continue to apply.

Abstract: In order to ensure continued success and benefits to ENERGY STAR Program Partners, protect the integrity of the ENERGY STAR label, and enhance its effectiveness in the marketplace, EPA must ensure that products carrying the label and the manufacturers that are labeling them as ENERGY STAR meet appropriate program requirements. EPA asks for the following program information from ENERGY STAR product manufacturing Partners: 1) sign a Partnership Agreement supplying company contact information; 2) submit qualifying product information that EPA can, in turn, provide to consumers so they will know which products to purchase in order to save energy; 3) submit testing reports (for roof products and lighting only) to verify product qualification; 4) submit annual unit shipment data to ensure the program provides continued benefits to Partners; and 5) submit an application for a Partner of the Year Award, if Partner wishes to receive recognition for their efforts.
