EPA has developed this renewal ICR to
ensure that the voluntary program "Climate Leaders Partnership"
maintains the capability to obtain credible greenhouse gas
emissions inventory data from companies that choose to participate
in the Partnership. This data will go through a rigorous review and
allow the Partnership to accurately track each partner's progress
towards meeting their greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal.
Mostly larger corporations will join the Climate Leaders
Partnership, and therefore the impact of this program on small
businesses is limited.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
