This ICR involves the collection of
two streams of information that will enable DOE to ensure the
impact and progress of DOE's voluntary Clean Cities Vehicle
Programs, specifically, the PEV Scorecard and the National Clean
Fleets Partnership. The PEV Scorecard ICR provides a scorecard
allowing DOE Clean Cities Coalitions and Stakeholders to assess the
level of readiness of their communities for plug-in electric
vehicles (PEVs) for residential and fleet customers. Information
collected is critical for DOE to provide respondents an objective
assessment of community readiness for PEV adoption, understanding
successful PEV deployment, and assuring appropriate evaluation of
PEV deployment progress. The Clean Fleets Partnership is an
initiative through DOE that establishes strategic alliances with
large private-sector fleets, providing them technical assistance
and expertise to explore and adopt alternative fuels and fuel
saving measures into their operations successfully. The initiative
builds on the established success of DOE's Clean Cities program.
Information collected is critical for DOE to develop an objective
assessment and estimate of each fleet's impact and progress.
Information would be used to establish a baseline of activities,
inventories, and fuel use for each fleet, which will then be used
for future comparisons and analyses of instituted programs and
policies. These activities are authorized under 42 U.S.C. Sec.
13252(a)-(b); 42 U.S.C. 13255; 42 U.S.C. 7256.

On OMB Form 83-I, there are
changes noted. The changes to OMB Form 83-I are due to the addition
of a new initiative under the DOE’s Clean Cities program, the
initiative being the Ride and Drive Surveys. The adjustments, or
increases, set forth in Items 13 and 14 of OMB Form 83-I do not
represent any changes to the existing collections (PEV Scorecard,
and National Clean Fleets Partnership), but rather only the
addition of this new collection for the ride and drive survey
effort to the existing and approved PEV Scorecard and Partnership
collections/initiatives – the figures noted on Form 83-I and above
in sections 13 and 14 include the costs associated with all of the
three collections associated with the three initiatives that are
covered by the requested amendment to the ICR.
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;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
