security of a major ally that is a force for
political stability and economic progress
in the Asia-Pacific region. It is vital to
U.S. national interests to assist Japan in
developing and maintaining a strong
and effective self-defense capability.
The proposed follow-on technical
support is critical to ensure Japan
Maritime Self Defense Force’s (JMSDF)
Aegis Destroyer fleet and JCPTS remain
ready to provide critical capabilities in
the defense of Japan. Japan’s AEGIS
Destroyers provide ship-based ballistic
missile defense capabilities and build
upon a longstanding cooperative effort
with the United States to provide
enhanced capability with a valued
partner in a geographic region of critical
importance to Japan and the United
States. Japan will have no difficulty
absorbing this support into its armed
forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be
Lockheed Martin, Moorestown, NJ.
There are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require the assignment of two
contractor representatives to Japan to
support the program.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

[email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Dennis Smith at Dennis.Smith@
ee.doe.gov or via 202–586–1791.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the extended
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of DOE, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of DOE’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) 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.
The Department of Energy is
proposing to extend an information
collection pursuant to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The approved
collection is being used for three Clean
Cities programmatic efforts. The first
initiative is the collection of information
for a voluntary plug-in electric vehicle
(PEV) questionnaire that assists
communities and DOE Clean Cities
coalitions in assessing the level of
readiness of their communities for
PEVs. The second effort is intended to
develop information that enables DOE
to review the progress of DOE’s National
Clean Fleets Partnership (Partnership).
The third effort is referred to as ‘‘Ride
and Drive Surveys’’. DOE is not
proposing to expand the scope of these
information collection efforts.
This information collection request
contains: (1) OMB No.: 1910–5171; (2)
Information Collection Request Title:
Clean Cities Vehicle Programs; (3) Type
of Review: Renewal; (4) Purpose: DOE’s
Clean Cities initiative has developed
three voluntary mechanisms by which
communities, certain fleets, and the
purchasing public can get a better
understanding of their readiness for
plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), and to
help DOE’s Clean Cities coalitions
prepare for the adoption of these
vehicles review their progress in doing
so. The voluntary PEV Scorecard is
intended to assist communities and the
coalitions in assessing the level of
readiness of their communities for
PEVs. The principal objectives of the
questionnaire are to provide

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 233 / Wednesday, December 4, 2019 / Notices
respondents with an objective
assessment and estimate of their
respective community’s readiness for
PEVs as well as understand the
respective community’s goals related to
integrating these vehicles, and allow
communities to assess the magnitude of
gaps in their readiness to achieve their
goals. DOE intends the questionnaire to
be completed by a city/county/regional
sustainability or energy coordinator. As
the intended respondent may not be
aware of every aspect of local or
regional PEV readiness, coordination
among local stakeholders to gather
appropriate information may be
necessary.
DOE expects a total respondent
population of approximately 1,250
respondents. Selecting the multiplechoice answers in completing a
questionnaire is expected to take under
30 minutes, although additional time of
no more than 20 hours may be needed
to assemble information necessary to be
able to answer the questions, leading to
a total burden of approximately 25,625
hours. Assembling information to
update questionnaire answers in the
future on a voluntary basis would be
expected to take less time, on the order
of 10 hours, as much of any necessary
time and effort needed to research
information would have been completed
previously.
For the Clean Fleets Partnership
information collection, the Partnership
is targeted at large, private-sector fleets
that own or have contractual control
over at least 50 percent of their vehicles
and have vehicles operating in multiple
States. DOE expects approximately 50
fleets to participate in the Partnership
and, as a result, DOE expects a total
respondent population of approximately
50 respondents. Providing initial
baseline information for each
participating fleet, which occurs only
once, is expected to take 60 minutes.
Follow-up questions and clarifications
for the purpose of ensuring accurate
analyses are expected to take up to 90
minutes. The total burden is expected to
be 125 hours.
For the DOE Clean Cities initiative
that involves the ride-and-drive surveys,
DOE has developed a three-part
voluntary survey to assist its coalitions
and stakeholders in assessing the level
of interest, understanding, and
acceptance of PEVs and alternative fuel
vehicles (AFV) by the purchasing
public. DOE intends the surveys to be
completed by individuals who are
participating in one of many ride-anddrive events. There are three phases to
the Survey: (1) Pre Ride-and-Drive; (2)
post Ride-and-Drive; and (3) a few
months/some time later to discern if the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

respondent followed through with
acquisition of a PEV or another AFV.
Respondents provide answers in the
first two phases through a user-friendly
paper survey and on-line survey, and in
the third phase they answer questions
via an electronic interface, although a
paper survey may be used for those
lacking access to an electronic device or
computer.
The Surveys’ effort relies on
responses to questions the respondent
chooses to answer. The multiple-choice
questions address the following topic
areas: (1) Demographics; (2) Current
vehicle background; (3) How they
learned about ride and drive event; (3)
Perceptions of PEVs before and after
driving; (4) Post-drive vehicle
experience; (5) Purchase expectations;
(6) Follow-up survey regarding
subsequent behaviors; (7) Purchase
information; (8) Barriers; and (9) Future
intentions. The survey is expected to
take 30 minutes, leading to a total
burden of approximately 28,250 hours
(an increase 2,500 hours above the total
burden in hours for the two currently
approved collections).
(5) Type of Respondents: Public; (6)
Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents for all three information
collections: 16,300; (7) Annual
Estimated Number of Total Responses:
16,300; (7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 28,250 (25,625 for PEV
Scorecard, 125 for Clean Fleets
Partnership, and 2,500 for the Ride and
Drive Surveys); and (8) Annual
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping
Cost Burden: There is no cost associated
with reporting and recordkeeping.
