(b) provide to the Administrator such information, including the number and type of qualifying actions intended to be transferred, as the Administrator may reasonably require; and

(i) total carbon emissions reduction obligation;
(ii) total carbon saving community obligation; or
(iii) total home heating cost reduction obligation.
