Title
and
Number
of
the
Information
Collection
This
ICR
is
entitled
"
Information
Collection
Activities
Associated
with
EPA's
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
Program,"
ICR
number
1772.02.

In
developing
this
ICR,
EPA
is
amending
and
renewing
ICR
number
1772.01,
which
originally
covered
information
collection
activities
for
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program.
EPA
also
is
consolidating
into
this
ICR
the
information
collection
activities
associated
with
the
Green
Lights
program
that
were
previously
covered
under
ICR
number
1614.02.
On
May
21,
1999,
OMB
approved
EPA's
request
to
consolidate
these
two
ICRs
and
transferred
the
current
burden
and
cost
of
the
Green
Lights
program
from
ICR
number
1614.02
into
ICR
number
1772.01.
As
such,
ICR
number
1772.01
currently
covers
the
burden
and
cost
of
both
programs,
and
ICR
number
1614.02
no
longer
exists.

Short
Characterization
or
Abstract
In
April
1993,
President
Clinton
issued
the
Climate
Change
Action
Plan,
which
establishes
the
nation's
commitment
to
returning
U.
S.
greenhouse
gas
emissions
to
their
1990
levels
by
the
year
2000.
EPA's
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
and
Green
Lights
programs
are
important
part
of
the
overall
effort
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
projected
2000
levels
by
5.1
million
metric
tons
of
carbon
equivalent.
Both
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
and
Green
Lights
programs
are
voluntary
programs
aimed
at
preventing
pollution
rather
than
controlling
it
after
its
creation.
These
programs
focus
on
reducing
utility­
generated
emissions
by
reducing
the
demand
for
energy.

EPA
first
created
the
Green
Lights
program
to
encourage
corporations,
state
and
local
governments,
colleges
and
universities,
and
other
organizations
to
adopt
energy
efficient
lighting
as
a
profitable
means
of
preventing
pollution
and
improving
lighting
quality.
With
the
success
of
the
Green
Lights
program,
EPA
developed
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program
to
encourage
business
of
all
sizes,
state
and
local
governments,
Federal
Agencies,
academic
and
other
nonprofit
organizations
to
make
more
comprehensive
energy
efficiency
improvements
in
their
buildings.
In
designing
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program,
EPA
made
the
energy
efficient
lighting
upgrades
of
the
Green
Lights
program
the
first
stage
of
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings'
fivestage
upgrade
program.

Since
the
lighting
upgrades
of
the
Green
Lights
program
essentially
have
become
part
of
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program,
EPA
has
decided
as
of
January
1999
that
the
stand­
alone
Green
Lights
program
will
no
longer
accept
new
partners.
Current
Green
Lights
participants
are
2
expected
to
complete
their
lighting
upgrades
by
December
31,
2003.
However,
EPA
is
actively
recruiting
current
Green
Lights
participants
to
join
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program.

ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
The
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program
consists
of
four
participant
groups:
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
Partners
and
Allies
(
referred
to
as
Partners
and
Allies
from
here
on
in
this
ICR),
Endorsers,
Commercial
Real
Estate
Partners,
and
Small
Business
Partners.
Partners
and
Allies,
Commercial
Real
Estate
Partners,
and
Small
Business
Partners
work
with
EPA
to
implement
profitable
energy
efficiency
strategies.
Endorsers
work
with
EPA
to
promote
the
program's
goal
of
using
energy­
efficient
technologies
among
their
organization's
constituents.

In
addition
to
these
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
participant
groups,
any
other
interested
party
can
help
EPA
promote
energy­
efficient
technologies
by
evaluating
the
efficiency
of
their
individual
buildings
through
the
labeling
program.
While
these
parties
do
not
join
an
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program,
they
can
benchmark
individual
buildings
and
apply
for
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
labels
just
as
any
other
program
participant
can.
If
they
can
demonstrate
that
an
individual
building
meets
the
labeling
criteria,
they
will
receive
an
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
plaque
that
they
can
display
on
the
building.

Each
of
the
four
participant
groups
and
these
other
interested
parties
are
described
separately
below,
along
with
their
associated
information
collection
activities.

Partners
and
Allies
Partners
and
Allies
commit
to
survey
and
upgrade
at
least
one
pilot
building
within
two
years
of
joining
the
program.
They
also
commit
to
upgrading
at
least
60
percent
of
their
eligible
facility
space
within
seven
years
using
various
energy­
efficient
improvements
that
maximize
energy
savings
and
represent
profitable
investments.
The
upgrades
take
place
in
five
stages.
The
first
stage
of
the
ENERGY
STAR

program
is
lighting
(
Green
Lights),
which
is
followed
by
a
building
tune­
up
(
Stage
2),
HVAC
load
reductions
(
Stage
3),
improved
fans
and
air­
handling
systems
(
Stage
4),
and
improved
heating
and
cooling
plant
(
Stage
5).

Partners
and
Allies
join
the

of
the
facility
applying
for
the
label.
If
the
score
meets
the
criteria
(
score
of
75
percent
or
higher),
the
facility
is
then
required
to
have

Small
Business
Partners
4
EPA
created
the
ENERGY
STAR
Small
Business
program
to
encourage
businesses
that
have
facilities
totaling
100,000
square
feet
or
less
and
that
are
not
in
the
energy
equipment
industry
to
use
energy
efficient
technologies.
Small
Business
Partners
agree
to
upgrade
the
energy
efficiency
of
lighting,
HVAC,
and
other
high
energy­
use
systems
where
profitable.
If
they
are
able,
Small
Business
Partners
also
are
asked
to
share
information
on
their
upgrades
and
the
resulting
cost
savings
and
environmental
benefits.

Small
Businesses
can
sign
up
for
the
ENERGY
STAR
Small
Business
program
in
three
ways:
completing
and
submitting
a
brief
MOU;
completing
and
submitting
a
form
on
the
program's
Internet
website;
or
by
calling
the
program's
hotline
and
providing
the
information
over
the
phone.
Each
of
these
three
sign­
up
methods
ask
for
the
same
information
and
describe
the
responsibilities
of
Small
Business
Partners
and
EPA
for
the
program.

After
Small
Business
Partners
complete
their
upgrades,
they
can
share
information
on
their
upgrades
and
the
resulting
cost
savings
and
environmental
benefits
in
a
number
of
different
ways.
First,
if
they
want
a
completion
certificate
from
EPA,
they
may
submit
a
Took
Action
Report,
which
is
a
brief,
one­
page
form
that
describes
their
upgrades
and
associated
cost
savings.
Additionally,
Small
Business
Partners
may
also
submit
a
Success
Story
Report,
which
provides
more
detailed
information
on
their
upgrades.
In
completing
the
Success
Story
Report,
they
also
may
indicate
at
the
bottom
of
the
form
that
they
are
interested
in
nominating
their
own
business
for
an
annual
ENERGY
STAR
Small
Business
Award.
Finally,
these
Small
Business
Award
winners
will
be
invited
to
work
with
EPA
to
benchmark
their
buildings
and
potentially
apply
for
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
labels.

Other
Interested
Parties
Any
interested
party,
who
is
not
an
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
participant,
can
apply
for
an
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
Label.
To
apply
for
a
label
the
interested
party
is
required
to
use
a
benchmarking
tool.
The
benchmarking
tool
scores
the
energy
efficiency
performance
of
the
facility
applying
for
the
label.
If
the
score
meets
the
criteria
(
score
of
75
percent
or
higher),
the
facility
is
then
required
to
have
the
score
report
certified
by
a
professional
engineer
(
P.
E.)
and
submit
it
to
EPA.

Green
Lights
The
Green
Lights
program
consist
of
three
types
of
participants:
Partners,
Allies,
and
Endorsers.
As
the
current,
standalone
Green
Lights
program
is
being
phased
out,
EPA
is
not
accepting
new
Green
Lights
Partners,
Allies,
or
Endorsers.
As
such,
EPA
no
longer
receives
Memoranda
of
Understanding
(
MOUs)
from
Green
Lights
participants.
However,
current
Partners
and
Allies
must
continue
to
survey
and
upgrade
the
lighting
for
90
percent
of
the
square
5
footage
of
their
facilities
that
meet
the
criteria
in
their
MOU,
and
upon
completion
of
these
upgrades,
they
must
submit
a
Green
Lights
Implementation
Report.
Endorsers
are
not
subject
to
any
other
requirements.

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need
and
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
Climate
Change
Action
Plan,
issued
by
President
Clinton
in
April
1993,
establishes
the
nation's
commitment
to
returning
greenhouse
gas
emissions
to
their
1990
levels
by
the
year
2000.
EPA's
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
and
Green
Lights
programs
are
important
part
of
the
overall
effort
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
projected
2000
levels
by
5.1
million
metric
tons
of
carbon
equivalent.
Both
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
and
Green
Lights
programs
are
voluntary
programs
aimed
at
preventing
pollution
rather
than
controlling
it
after
its
creation.
These
programs
focus
on
reducing
utility­
generated
emissions
by
reducing
the
demand
for
energy.

EPA
has
developed
this
ICR
to
obtain
authorization
to
collect
information
from
participants
in
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
and
Green
Lights
Programs.
Both
of
these
programs
need

in
completing
energy
efficiency
upgrades,
and
measuring
reductions
in
energy
usage.

Practical
Utility
and
Users
of
the
Data
EPA
uses
information
collected
from
ENERGY

program
participants
for
a
variety
of
purposes.
These
are
described
below.

Partners,
and
Other
Interested
Parties
is
described
below.

Partners
and
Allies
EPA
uses
information
submitted
in
the
MOU
to
officially
establish
participation
in
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program.
Facility
data
from
MOUs
also
are
entered
into
the
STAR
database
that
serves
as
a
source
of
general
information
and
as
a
mailing
list.

EPA
uses
the
information
submitted
in
the
ASAP
form
to
develop
and
maintain
the
ASAP
Directory.
EPA
will
disseminate
information
on
upgrade
strategies
and
energy
efficiency
purchase
decisions
through
the

EPA
uses
information
submitted
in
the
Annual
Facility
Reports
to
monitor
the
progress
of
companies
and
organizations
in
improving
energy
efficiency.
This
information
is
aggregated
and
used
to
evaluate
the
overall
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program
and
ensure
the
U.
S.
is
meeting
its
pollution
prevention
goals,
as
outlined
in
the
Climate
Change
Action
Plan.
EPA
enters
report
information
into
the
STAR
database,
which
can
then
be
used
to
calculate
the
amount
of
utilitygenerated
emissions
prevented
and
to
publicize
participant
and
program
successes.
EPA
also
may
use
aggregated
data
to
disseminate
information
concerning
the
program.

EPA
uses
the
information
submitted
in
the
benchmarking
tool
score
report
to
keep
track
of
the
energy
efficiency
upgrades
made
by
Commercial
Real
Estate
Partners
and
to
issue
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
labels.

EPA
uses
the
information
submitted
in
the
Partner
and
Ally
of
the
Year
Application
to
provide
public
recognition
to
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
Partners
and
Allies
that
practice
exemplary
energy
efficiency
and
have
shown
creative
solutions
to
enhancing
energy
efficiency.

EPA
will
use
additional
technical
information
requested
from
some
Partners
and
Allies
to
further
evaluate
the
overall
results
of
the
program
and
make
adjustments,
if
necessary.
Specifically,
EPA
will
use
more
detailed
information
than
provided
on
the
Annual
Facility
Report
to
ensure
that
the
five­
stage
program
works
to
maximize
energy
savings
at
a
profit.
EPA
also
will
use
the
information
to
develop
or
revise
manuals
for
completing
building
upgrades,
software
to
calculate
savings,
case
studies,
generic
specifications
for
energy­
efficient
technologies,
and
guidance
on
indoor
air
quality
issues.
Unlike
the
MOU
and
Annual
Facility
Report,
EPA's
request
for
additional
technical
information
is
not
an
ENERGY

Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
Partners
and
Allies
The
development
of
an
MOU
is
a
one­
time
information
submittal;
less
frequent
collection
is
not
possible.
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
Allies
also
are
requested
to
submit
information
on
products
and
services.
However,
these
companies
are
in
no
way
obligated
to
submit
information;
their
level
of
participation
in
the
program
is
left
to
their
discretion.

EPA
requires
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
Partners
and
Allies
to
prepare
and
submit
an
Annual
Facility
Report
until
a
facility's
upgrade
projects
are
completed
in
order
to:


Ensure
Partners
and
Allies
conduct
the
upgrades
and
achieve
goals
specified
in
their
MOU;


Monitor
annual
progress
towards
meeting
the
goals
of
the
Climate
Change
Action
Plan;


Ensure
five­
stage
upgrade
program
maximizes
energy
savings
and
minimizes
equipment
costs;


Evaluate
the
program
annually
to
determine
whether
program
adjustments
are
required
to
meet
the
goals
of
the
Climate
Change
Action
Plan;


Update
guidance,
software,
data
bases,
case
studies,
and
technology
specifications
to
provide
up­
to­
date
information
for
Partners
and
Allies;
and

Provide
information
back
to
participants.

EPA
believes
that
any
reduction
in
the
frequency
of
this
information
collection
would
have
a
negative
impact
on
program
implementation
and
results,
and
could
adversely
affect
EPA's
ability
to
evaluate
the
program.
For
example,
less
frequent
collection
could
contribute
to
a
situation
where
EPA
might
be
unaware
that
a
Partner
or
Ally
has
fallen
behind
schedule
on
one
or
more
buildings.
In
addition,
a
less
frequent
collection
would
reduce
the
flow
of
information
used
by
EPA
to
assess
program
results
and
provide
Partners
and
Allies
with
up­
to­
date
information.
This
could
hamper
determinations
as
to
whether
program
adjustments
are
necessary
or
whether
additional
actions
are
needed
to
meet
the
goals
of
the
Climate
Change
Action
Plan.

Partners
and
Allies
interested
in
receiving
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
label
are
required
to
submit
the
benchmarking
tool
score
report.
The
submission
of
this
report
is
a
one­
time
information
collection
requirement.
It
is
required
to

performance
of
the

meets
the
requirements
of
the
ENERGY

label
(
score
of
75
percent
or
higher);
less
frequent
collection
is
not
possible.

are
asked
to
work
with
EPA

Partners
are
not
obligated
to
submit
the

or
additional
information
needed
for

ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
The
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program
consists
of
four
participant
groups:
Partners
and
Allies,
Endorsers,
Commercial
Real
Estate
Partners,
and
Small
Business
Partners.
Partners
and
Allies,
Commercial
Real
Estate
Partners,
and
Small
Business
Partners
work
with
EPA
to
implement
profitable
energy
efficiency
strategies.
Endorsers
work
with
EPA
to
promote
the
program's
goal
of
using
energy­
efficient
technologies
among
their
organization's
constituents.

In
addition
to
these
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
participant
groups,
any
other
interested
party
can
help
EPA
promote
energy­
efficient
technologies
by
evaluating
the
efficiency
of
their
individual
buildings
through
the
labeling
program.
While
these
parties
do
not
join
an
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program,
they
can
benchmark
individual
buildings
and
apply
for
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
labels
just
as
any
other
program
participant
can.
If
they
can
demonstrate
that
an
individual
building
meets
the
labeling
criteria,
they
will
receive
an
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
plaque
that
they
can
display
on
the
building.

The
information
collections
associated
with
each
of
the
four
participant
groups
and
these
other
interested
parties
are
described
separately
below.

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
In
collecting
and
analyzing
the
information
associated
with
this
ICR,
EPA
will
use
a
telephone
system,
personal
computers,
and
applicable
database
software.
EPA
will
ensure
the
accuracy
and
completeness
of
collected
information
by
reviewing
each
submittal.
EPA
will
enter
the
information
obtained
into
a
database
and
will
aggregate
data
obtained
to
monitor
the
progress
of
participants
in
improving
energy
efficiency.

EPA
plans
to
review
the
efficiency
of
implementing
a
Portal
module
to
facilitate
the
transfer
of
information
(
such
as
reporting
forms)
between
EPA
and
potential
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
participants.
The
Portal
would
allow
companies
to
track
their
utility
costs
and
energy
use
over
time,
both
on
an
individual
facility
level
as
well
as
in
aggregate.

5(

Small
Entity
Flexibility
EPA
expects
that
small
entities
will
participate
in
the
ENERGY

program.
Additionally,
EPA
expects
that
some
of
the
participants
in
the
Green
Lights
program
may
be
small
entities.
EPA
has
designed
its
report
forms
to
minimize
respondent
burden
while
obtaining
sufficient
and
accurate
information.
In
addition,
the

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
6(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
EPA
consulted
previous
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
and
Green
Lights
ICRs,
and
conducted
consultations
with
participants
in
these
programs
to
estimate
respondent
burden
hours
for
the
activities
covered
in
this
ICR.
Exhibits
1­

present
the
estimated
annual
respondent
burden
for
information
collection
activities
associated
with
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program
and
the
Green
Lights
program.
These
burden
estimates
have
been
adjusted
to
reflect
changes
that
EPA
is
introducing
to
the
previous
reporting
forms.

6(

Estimating
Respondent
Costs
Exhibits
1­

present
the
estimated
annual
respondent
costs
for
information
collection
activities
associated
with
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program
and
the
Green
Lights
program.
The
estimated
annual
respondent
costs
are
discussed
below.

(
i)
Estimating
Labor
Costs
The
labor
rates
used
to
determine
the
estimated
costs
to
respondents
are
consistent
with
the
hourly
wage
rates
published
by
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
publications
on
employment
and
earnings.
Rates
reflect
a
graded
scale
and
include
the
cost
of
overhead
and
fringe
benefits
where
appropriate.
EPA
estimates
an
average
respondent
hourly
labor
rate
(
hourly
plus
overhead)
of
$
90.00
for
legal
staff,
$
76.67
for
managerial
staff,
$
53.5
for
technical
staff,
and
$
30.67
for
clerical
staff.

(
ii)
Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
(
O&
M)
Costs
EPA
estimates
that
Buildings
and
Green
Lights
participants
may
incur
capital
and
operations
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
specific
activities.
There
are
no
capital
costs
associated
with
any
of
the
information
collection
activities.

of
the
MOU,
LOI,
55
Annual
Facility
Report,
benchmarking
score
report,
Took
Action
Report,
and

Story
Report,
EPA
estimates
that
participants
will
incur
$
0.33
in
costs
each
year
for
the
three
year
period
of
the
ICR.
This
estimate
is
based
on
the
mailing
cost
of
a
letter.

requried
to
submit
original
examples
of
communication
materials
for
the
Partner
and
Ally
of
the
Year
Award.
For
the
submittal
of
these
communication
materials,
EPA
estimates
that
Partners
and
Allies
will
incur
$
4.20
in
costs
each
year
for
the
three
year
period
of
the
ICR.
This
estimate
is
based
on
the
mailing
cost
of
$
4.20
for
a
two­
pound
package.
There
are
no
costs
associated
with
the
purchase
of
a
service
included
in
the
O&

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Costs
EPA
conducted
consultations
with
their
staff
who
work
on
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
and
Green
Lights
programs
to
obtain
agency
burden
hour
estimates
for
all
activities
required
by
the
Agency.
The
hourly
labor
rates
used
to
determine
the
estimated
costs
to
the
Agency
are
consistent
with
the
annual
labor
rates
published
in
the
Federal
Register
and
are
based
on
the
1999
GS
pay
schedule
available
from
the
Office
of
Personnel
Management.
EPA
estimates
an
average
hourly
labor
cost
of
$
57.52
for
legal
staff,
$
53.79
for
managerial
staff,
$
39.44
for
technical
staff,
and
$
15.84
for
clerical
staff.
The
labor
costs
are
based
on
the
following
GS
levels
and
steps:
legal
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
15,
Step
1,
managerial
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
14,
Step
4,
technical
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
12,
Step
5,
and
clerical
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
5,
Step
1.
To
derive
hourly
estimates,
EPA
divided
annual
compensation
estimates
by
2,080,
which
is
the
number
of
hours
in
the
Federal
work­
year.
EPA
then
multiplied
hourly
rates
by
the
standard
government
overhead
factor
of
1.6.
The
estimated
annual
Agency
burden
for
all
activities
associated
with
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program
and
the
Green
Lights
program
covered
in
this
ICR
are
discussed
separately
below.

program.
Estimated
Agency
burden
hours
are
presented
on
a

Due
to
the
fact
that
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
Partners
and
Allies
submit
multiple
Annual
Facility
Reports
per
year
(
one
for
each

the
estimates
for
the
Annual

shown
in
Exhibit

are
derived
from
Exhibit

and
Exhibit

hours
on
a

basis
and
then
calculates
the

hours
per

using
the
numbers
presented
in
Exhibit

The
annual
burden
to
the
Agency
is
approximately
119,485
hours,
at
a
cost
of
approximately
$
2,541,285
per
year.
The
three­

burden
is
therefore
358,455
hours
and
$
7,623,855.

hours
are
presented
on

Due
to
the
fact
that
Green

Partners
and

submit
multiple
implementation

per
year
(
one

to
the
Agency
is
approximately
1,336
hours,
at
a
cost
of
approximately
$
21,205
per
year.
The
three­

varies
depending
on
the
specific
activity.
As
discussed
in
Section

there
are
different
types
of
participants
for
each

and
the
required
activities
are
different
for
each
type.
Exhibit

Variations
in

EPA
expects
a
decrease
in
the
annual
respondent
reporting
or
recordkeeping
burden
for
both
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
and
Green

programs
once
the
proposed
Portal
module
becomes
fully
operational.
The
Portal
will
result
in
less
burden
by
automatically
tracking

receiving
utility
data.
It
will
also
allow
participants
to
benchmark
energy

and
provide
this
information
electronically
to

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
Since
the
last
ICR
was
prepared
for
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program,
the
burden
estimates
have
increased.
This
is
due
primarily
to
the
fact
that
many
Green
Lights
Participants
have
joined
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program.
The
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program
has
also
been
actively
recruiting
new
participants,
including
small
businesses
into
the
ENERGY
STAR
Small
Business
program.
EPA
expects
the
number
of
new
participants
joining
the
program
annually
to
increase
over
the
next
three
years.
In
addition,
EPA
has
added
respondent
activities
to
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
program
such
as
submitting
the
ASAP
form,
benchmarking
and
applying
for
the
ENERGY
STAR
Buildings
label,
and
submitting
the
Partner
and
Ally
of
the
Year
Application.
77
Green
Lights
Since
the
last
ICR
was
prepared
for
the
Green
Lights
program,
the
estimated
burden
has
decreased.
This
is
due
to
the
fact
that
the
Agency
is
phasing
out
the
Green
Lights
program
and
is
not
recruiting
any
new
participants.
Current
participants
submit
an
implementation
report
in
the
form
of
a
postcard
rather
than
the
more
detailed
form
required
previously.
In
addition,
current
participants
are
no
longer
required
to
submit
product
and
services
information
and
a
financing
directory
questionnaire.
