Abstract: The purpose of this request for clearance is to initiate a data collection on occupational employment and wages related to green technologies and practices used by U.S. businesses. The new Green Technologies and Practices (GTP) survey will collect data on the use of green technologies and processes at establishments, and occupational employment and wages for employees who spend more than 50 percent of their time engaged in green practices. This new special topic survey will assess the practicality and usability of this type of data collection.
