The Department of Energy
(DOE) has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
clearance, a proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The
proposed collection will be used to
report the progress of participants in the
DOE Better Buildings programs,
including the Better Buildings
Challenge, Better Buildings, Better
Plants program, and the Better Buildings
Alliance. These voluntary programs are
intended to drive greater energy
efficiency in the commercial and
industrial marketplace to create cost
savings and jobs. This will be
accomplished by highlighting the ways
participants overcome market barriers
and persistent obstacles with replicable,
marketplace solutions. These programs
will showcase real solutions and partner
with industry leaders to better
understand policy and technical
opportunities. Since the published 60Day Notice and request for comments on
October 2, 2015, 80 FR 59758, there are
noted changes to the following
supplemental information items: (5)
Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents is increased from 480 to

Burden is reduced from $107,349 to

DATES: Comments regarding this
collection must be received on or before
January 20, 2016. If you anticipate that
you will be submitting comments, but
find it difficult to do so within the

please advise the DOE Desk Officer at
OMB of your intention to make a
