ANNOUNCEMENT 2
Subject: ENERGY/Efficiency - FR. DOE. Weatherization Assistance Program for Low-Income Persons
[Federal Register: January 25, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 15)]
[Rules and Regulations]

Weatherization Assistance Program for Low-Income Persons
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is amending the
eligibility provisions applicable to multi-unit buildings under the
Weatherization Assistance Program for Low-Income Persons. As a result
of today's final rule, if a multi-unit building is under an assisted or
public housing program and is identified by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and included on a list published
by DOE, that building will meet certain income eligibility
requirements, and will also satisfy one or both of the procedural
requirements to protect against rent increases and undue or excessive
enhancement of the weatherized building, as indicated by the list,
under the Weatherization Assistance Program without the need for
further evaluation or verification. The preamble of today's final rule
also provides guidance to States with respect to addressing the
requirement that the benefits of weatherization assistance in
connection with such rental units,
including units where the tenants pay for their energy through their
rent, will accrue primarily to the low-income tenants residing in such
units. If a multi-unit building includes units that participate in the
Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program, identified by HUD, or
includes units that participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Rural Housing Service's Multifamily Housing Programs, and is
included on a list published by DOE, that building will meet the income
eligibility requirements of the Weatherization Assistance Program
without the need for further evaluation or verification. Today's final
rule will reduce the procedural burdens on evaluating applications from
buildings that are part of HUD assisted and public housing programs,
the Federal LIHTC programs, and the USDA Rural Development program.
DATES: This final rule is effective February 24, 2010.
