Title: Clean Energy Storytelling Program.

OMB Control Number: 1505-NEW.

Type of Review: Request for a new OMB Control Number.

Description: Treasury's Inflation Reduction Act Program Office proposes to establish a Clean Energy Storytelling Program that would engage the public and enable more effective communication of their Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentive and program-related stories.

The goal would be to increase awareness of the IRA's tax incentives and other impacts so that more Americans, companies, and non-profits are aware of and understand the benefits now available to them, thereby promoting uptake, and the IRA's broader purpose. Located on the Treasury.gov/IRA website, the Clean Energy Storytelling Program would feature a participation consent form and a series of questions. These forms are designed to offer a voluntary way for members of the public to share information about their experience with claiming IRA-related clean energy incentives or using IRS modernization programs and resources, and enable Treasury officials to communicate their stories to the broader American public.

Form: Clean Energy Storytelling Program Consent and Participation Forms.

Affected Public: Individuals & Households, Businesses.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,000.

Frequency of Response: Once.

Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 1,000.

Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 500.

Authority:44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
