Proposed Agency Information Collection

The Department of Energy (DOE) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance, a proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection will provide information for use in an impact evaluation of DOE's Solar Decathlon Program. The collection consists of four questionnaires addressed to (1) homeowners who visited a Solar Decathlon, (2) homeowners who did not visit a Solar Decathlon, (3) former students who participated in their school's Solar Decathlon entry, and (4) former students who did not participate in a Solar Decathlon entry. The questionnaires will collect information on the respondents' knowledge of solar energy and energy efficiency and on installations of solar-energy and energy-efficiency equipment with which the respondents have been personally involved. The former-student questionnaires will also collect information on types of employment since leaving college.
