FR Document		2016-21962

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 gather opinions of experts in industry and other organizations regarding the impact on the development and diffusion of energy-efficient technologies and techniques in the construction of residential buildings of DOE/EERE Building Technologies Office (BTO) investments. Expert opinions are necessary to characterize expected patterns of technology development and diffusion in the absence of DOE investments, and so (by comparing these expectations with actual observations) estimate the difference DOE investments have made. This information is needed by DOE for budget justification and strategic planning. Respondents will include representatives of production builder companies (including companies that received DOE R&D funding and companies that received no direct funding from DOE).

Proposed Agency Information Collection

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. 
Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice and request for OMB review and comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 gather opinions of experts in 
industry and other organizations regarding the impact on the 
development and diffusion of energy-efficient technologies and 
techniques in the construction of residential buildings of DOE/EERE 
Building Technologies Office (BTO) investments. Expert opinions are 
necessary to characterize expected patterns of technology development 
and diffusion in the absence of DOE investments, and so (by comparing 
these expectations with actual observations) estimate the difference 
DOE investments have made. This information is needed by DOE for budget 
justification and strategic planning. Respondents will include 
representatives of production builder companies (including companies 
that received DOE R&D funding and companies that received no direct 
funding from DOE).

DATES: Comments regarding this collection must be received on or before 
October 13, 2016. If you anticipate that you will be submitting 
comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period of time
