    Abstract: Indoor AirPlus is aimed at forming public-private 
partnerships that help prevent various forms of indoor air pollution 
and their associated health risks. This ICR covers information 
collection activities under the EPA's newly revised Indoor AirPlus 
program. Indoor AirPlus is a voluntary certification labeling program 
that represents value-added marketability that home builders, 
verification companies, and oversight organizations can use to 
distinguish themselves from competition, while homeowners see a 
healthier and safer home with improved indoor air quality (IAQ) by 
requiring construction practices and product specifications that 
minimize exposure to airborne pollutants and contaminants.
