OAR is proposing regulatory criteria,
required by Congress under the Energy Independence and Security Act
of 2007, for including sites in a Registry of Recoverable Waste
Energy Sources (Registry). The rule is also proposing the survey
processes by which OAR will collect data and populate the Registry.
The rule would apply to major industrial and large commercial
combustion sources. Sources above specified threshold levels,
calculated using a Waste Energy Survey Tool that the respondents
will download, will report specific data points that the facilities
already monitor. OAR will use the WEST output to calculate the
quantity and quality of potentially recoverable waste energy and
determine whether the facility should be placed on the
Registry.

Independence and Security Act of 2007
An increase in burden will
occur because the Agency is required by Congress to issue a new
regulation establishing the criteria for including a site on a
Registry of Recoverable Waste Energy Sources and to obtain
information from sites or sources with which to populate the
Registry. The Agency has not previously collected this
information.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
