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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
