Abstract: 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.
