Proposed Agency Information
Collection
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Submission for Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) review;
comment request.
AGENCY:

The Department of Energy
(DOE) has submitted to the OMB for
clearance, a proposal for collection of
information pursuant to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The collection
would be used to measure the impact
and progress of DOE’s Workplace
Charging Challenge (Challenge). The
Challenge is an initiative through which
DOE provides employers with
specialized resources, expertise, and
support to incorporate workplace
charging programs into their operations
successfully.1 The initiative is a part of
the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge,
which focuses on enabling U.S. vehicle
manufacturers to be the first in the
world to produce plug-in electric
vehicles (PEVs) that are as affordable
and convenient for the average
American family as today’s gasolinepowered vehicles by 2022. As the EV
Everywhere Grand Challenge is focused
on PEV research and development as
well as deployment, it has been
developed with input from
sustainability professionals, industry
representatives, and DOE’s Clean Cities
program staff coordinators.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before March 3, 2014.
If you anticipate difficulty in submitting
comments within that period, please
advise the OMB Desk Officer of your
intention to make a submission as soon
as possible. The Desk Officer may be
telephoned at 202–395–4650.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to:

1 Excluded from the Challenge are the Federal
government and employers that are integrally
involved in the sale of EVSE products and services.

This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No. New; (2) Information
Collection Request Title: Workplace
Charging Challenge; (3) Type of Request:
New collection; (4) Purpose: DOE’s
Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) has
developed a voluntary initiative, the EV
Everywhere Workplace Charging
Challenge. This initiative, launched in
January 2013, aims to increase the
number of U.S. employers offering
workplace charging for PEVs to their
employees. Participating employers may
sign on as Partners to signal their
commitment to workplace charging and
otherwise promote workplace charging.
As designed, the initiative is intended to
benefit both employees and employers.
The goal of the Workplace Charging
Challenge is to increase to over 500 the
number of employers offering workplace
charging to their U.S. employees by
2018, the scheduled end of the program.
Individual employers that make
available at least one electric vehicle
supply equipment (EVSE), or charger, to
their employees at one major employer
location will count towards this goal,
regardless of whether or not the
employer is a partner in the Workplace
Charging Challenge.
As part of this program, DOE will
conduct outreach to deploy workplace
charging, provide technical assistance to
support employers’ workplace charging
programs, and identify specific success
stories, lessons learned, and best
practices employers have deployed,
thereby increasing the value and
facilitating the deployment of additional
workplace charging programs. The effort
is part of the larger EV Everywhere
Grand Challenge, and as the Grand
Challenge by necessity incorporates a
deployment component, DOE will be
able to use its experience and expertise
through the VTO Clean Cities Program
to educate the public about PEVs, as
well as help identify potential
workplace charging barriers and the
means to remove such barriers.

The Challenge does not endeavor to
engage an exhaustive number of
employers, but rather will work with
self-identified employers committed to
leading the way in reducing petroleum
consumption through the deployment of
PEVs and associated charging
infrastructure.
In January 2013, relying on
employers’ public records and
communications, DOE began identifying
employers that might be interested in
becoming voluntary partners to the
Workplace Challenge Program. To
measure progress towards the
Workplace Charging Challenge goal of
more than 500 employers through 2018,
DOE will be monitoring some employers
directly, and others through data DOE
can gather from available online
resources, including the Alternative
Fuels Data Center. For those employers
DOE is monitoring directly, DOE will
develop an annual progress update and
will publish the generalized results
gathered. To generate this annual
update, DOE will collect annually from
these Workplace Charging Challenge
Partners, or employers, data and
narratives associated with their PEV
charging program and infrastructure.
The principal objective of collecting
the information DOE seeks to gather
through the Challenge is to allow DOE
to develop an objective assessment and
estimate of the number of U.S.
employers that have established a
workplace charging program or
otherwise installed EVSE, and to
document specific information
associated with the offering of such a
program to employees. Information
requested would be used to establish
basic information for Partner employers,
which will then be used for future
comparisons and analysis of instituted
programs and policies. A designated
representative for each participating
Partner will provide the requested
information. The intended respondent is
expected to be aware of relevant aspects
of the company’s charging infrastructure
and program if such exists, such that the
gathering of information is not expected
to be very resource consuming. DOE
will compile and issue an annual
progress update that would provide an
update on the Workplace Charging
Challenge program partners’ activities,
as well as report on metrics DOE is
evaluating related to energy
consumption, costs, numbers of
employers in the program, and best
practices that can be identified for the
purpose of helping others take steps to
deploy charging infrastructure.
The Challenge effort will rely on data
the Partners will provide via an online
response tool. The data collection

would address the following topic areas:
(1) Charging infrastructure and use; (2)
employee PEV ownership; and (3)
feedback on the Challenge.
The data will be compiled for the
purpose of assessing and setting forth in
the annual progress updates the
Workplace Charging Challenge
program’s impact in terms of increasing
both the number of employers offering
workplace charging and the deployment
of EVSEs and PEVs.
The data and subsequent analyses
will allow DOE to compare historical
records dynamically, and provide the
opportunity for DOE to determine
annual progress toward Workplace
Charging Challenge goals. Calculation of
progress and impacts will be undertaken
on an annual basis.
The Workplace Charging Challenge
program is targeted at U.S. employers.
Providing initial baseline information
for each participating employer, which
occurs only once, is expected to take 1.5
hours. Follow-up questions and
clarifications for the purpose of
ensuring accurate analyses may take up
to 3.5 hours; (5) Annual Estimated
Number of Respondents: 400; (6)
Annual Estimated Number of Total
Responses: 400; (7) Annual Estimated
Number of Burden Hours: 2,000; (8)
Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: The total
estimated annual cost for all
respondents to respond to the voluntary
collection is $9,702.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. Sec 13233; 42 U.S.C.
