implement a multitiered behavioral
framework with fidelity.
These measures constitute the
Department’s indicators of success for
this program. Consequently, we advise
an applicant for a grant under this
program to give careful consideration to
these measures in conceptualizing the
approach and evaluation for its
proposed project. Each grantee will be
required to provide, in its annual
performance and final reports, data
about its progress in meeting these
measures. This data will be considered
by the Department in making
continuation awards.
Consistent with 34 CFR 75.591,
grantees funded under this program
shall comply with the requirements of
any evaluation of the program
conducted by the Department or an
evaluator selected by the Department.
6. Continuation Awards: In making a
continuation award, the Secretary may
consider, under 34 CFR 75.253, the
extent to which a grantee has made
substantial progress in achieving the
goals and objectives of the project;
whether the grantee has expended funds
in a manner that is consistent with its
approved application and budget; and,
if the Secretary has established
performance measurement
requirements, the performance targets in
the grantee’s approved application.
In making a continuation award, the
Secretary also considers whether the
grantee is operating in compliance with
the assurances in its approved
application, including those applicable
to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit
discrimination in programs or activities
receiving Federal financial assistance
from the Department (34 CFR 100.4,
104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Agency Information Collection
Extension
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

The Department of Energy
(DOE), pursuant to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, intends to
extend for three years, an information
collection request with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
Comments are invited on: Whether the
extended collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
DATES: Comments regarding this
proposed information collection must
be received on or before September 24,
2018. If you anticipate difficulty in
submitting comments within that
period, contact the person listed below
as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
sent Andre de Fontaine, EE–5A/
Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence
Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585, by
fax at (202) 586–8177, or by email at

copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Andre de Fontaine, EE–5A/
Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence
Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585, by
fax at (202) 586–8177, or by email at
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection request contains:
(1) OMB No. 1910–5141;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: Department of Energy Better
Buildings Challenge, Better Buildings
Alliance, and the Better Buildings,
Better Plants Voluntary Pledge Program;
(3) Type of Review: Extension with
Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection
(4) Purpose: This Information
Collection Request applies to three
Department of Energy (DOE) voluntary
leadership initiatives that fall under
DOE’s Better Buildings Initiative: (1)
The Better Buildings Challenge; (2) the
Better Buildings, Better Plants Program
(Better Plants); and (3) the Better
Buildings Alliance. Two new
information collection instruments are
proposed in order to streamline the
application process for a manufacturing
leadership awards program under Better
Plants. Other pre-existing collection
forms are being amended for clarity and
to reduce burden on respondents. Also,
the total number of respondents and
response time for individual program
areas is being adjusted to align with
practical experience and to account for
the program’s growth over time. For
example, due to improved data quality
controls and greater experience
observing partners, the hours per
response has been increased for the
Better Buildings, Better Plants Challenge
Annual Reporting Form. The total
number of hours associated with the
Annual Better Plants Program Pledge
Form was decreased to account for the
establishment of more efficient internal
collection processes as partners gain
experience in the program. The number
of hours per response for both the Better
Buildings, Better Plants Web Profile
Development and Water Data Collection
forms, respectively, were changed to
reflect actual partner response time
based on practical experience.
The leadership initiatives in the
Better Buildings Initiative covered
under this Information Collection
Request are intended to drive greater
energy and water efficiency in the
commercial, public, residential, data
center, and industrial marketplace to
reduce pollution, cut costs, and create
jobs. This is accomplished by

highlighting the ways participants
overcome market barriers to greater
efficiency with replicable solutions. The
program showcases real solutions and
partners with industry leaders to better
understand policy and technical
opportunities. There are three types of
information to be collected from
primary participants, also referred to as
‘‘Partners’’: (1) Background data,
including contact information, a
partnership agreement form, logo(s),
information needed to support public
announcements, updates on
participants’ showcase projects, and an
energy savings goal; (2) Portfolio-wide
energy performance information; and (3)
Information on market innovations
participants are including in their
energy efficiency processes. Background
data is primarily used to develop
website content that is publically
available. Portfolio-wide facility-level
energy performance information is used
by DOE to measure the participants’
progress in meeting the goals of the
program, as well as to aggregate the
change in energy performance and
related metrics for the entire program.
Information on market innovation is
used to highlight successful strategies
participants use to overcome challenges,
and is made publicly available.
Additional background information is
being collected from ‘‘Allies’’, financial
and utility organizations that make a
public commitment to support the
energy efficiency marketplace.
Background information including
name, dollars committed to the market,
and a company logo is also used to
develop publically available website
content. Responses to the DOE’s
Information Collection Request are
voluntary.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 752, a slight increase over
the current ICR’s 740, which reflects
modest growth in participation across
the programs.
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 897, a slight decrease
from the current ICR’s 933, which is
driven by a change in frequency of
reporting from biannual to annual for
one information collection form.
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 2,232.25, a decrease from
the current ICR’s 2,709.25, which
reflects improved data collection and
reporting processes put in place by
partners, especially those that have been
participating in the programs for
multiple years.
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $90,475, a
