These data are being collected for manufacturers to certify compliance with DOE's energy conservation, water
conservation, or design standards. The data you supply will be used by the Department to monitor compliance
with the energy conservation, water conservation, and design standards and testing requirements for the
consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment mandated by the Energy Policy and Conservation
Act, as amended, and DOE regulations.
Under this Office of Management and Budget control number, the public reporting burden for collection of
information in the certification process is estimated to average 30 hours per response, including the time for

completing and reviewing the collection of information. Of this total time, DOE estimates that third party
authorization will have an average public reporting burden of 0.2 hours. Send comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to
