DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Agency Information Collection Extension

AGENCY: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: 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). The Department of Energy (DOE) Weatherization Assistance Program 
(WAP) is a formula grant funding program. DOE has developed four forms 
designed to reduce the length of time to input information and provide 
a consistent format for all States to submit as part of their State 
Application and Plan process. This activity will benefit the program 
and States because all forms are in electronic format that will 
populate a database for program information. The program information 
captured will be used to provide the most current program information 
for the budget, congressional and public inquires of the program. 
Comments are invited on: (a) 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; (b) 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; (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.

DATES: Comments regarding this proposed information collection must be 
received on or before May 16, 2008. If you anticipate difficulty in 
submitting comments within that period, contact the person listed below 
as soon as possible.
