Abstract:
ENERGY STAR is a voluntary program helping 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). EPA also makes tools and other resources available over the web to help the public overcome the barriers to evaluating their energy performance and investing in profitable improvements.

Short Statement:
There is an overall decrease of 28,843 hours in the total estimated annual burden hours currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This includes a decrease of 234 hours from Agency program changes and a decrease of 28,609 hours from Agency adjustments in its estimates. The 28,609-hour decrease occurred because EPA adjusted the number of respondents and the burden for some activities based on improved and updated data and analysis. The burden estimates in ICR 1772.04 reflect EPAs program experience gained over the past three years. The 234-hour decrease resulted from EPAs modifications to some of its information collections to address Agency and stakeholder needs.
