Weatherization Assistance Program Proposed State Plan

[42 Pa.B. 2755]
[Saturday, May 19, 2012]

 The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) will hold a public hearing on Thursday, May 31, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. in Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Hearing Room 5, Plaza Level of the Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, Harrisburg, PA. The purpose of this hearing is to receive comments on the proposed Pennsylvania 2012-13 annually-appropriated United States Department of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program Plan (regular plan).

 The 2012-13 regular plan will authorize the current 2012-13 formula-based distribution of funds with the continuation of Performance Standards and Metrics. The specific performance goals include production, quality of the work product, prompt, accurate and complete reporting and compliance with program standards and regulations. These performance standards were implemented in the 2010-11 program year and will continue. The 2012-13 regular plan will also explain the final expenditure and production plans for ARRA and the use of other United States Department of Energy rollover funds.

 The State-issued worker certification process, support of the weatherization training efforts, comprehensive monitoring and use of established priority points for the weatherization service list are all also proposed to continue in the 2012-13 regular plan as they were implemented and enhanced in the ARRA Weatherization Program and the regular 2010-11 program year.

 A noteworthy change in the 2012-13 plan is the opportunity to promote consolidation of services among weatherization agencies in a region or specific area to make maximum use of limited funding. Agencies should contact the Department by June 11, 2012, if they intend to voluntarily partner and consolidate work with each other to deliver weatherization services to their counties.

 Copies of the 2012-13 regular plan may be obtained beginning May 18, 2012, by contacting the Department of Community and Economic Development, Office of Energy Conservation and Weatherization, 4th Floor, Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, Harrisburg, PA 17120 (717) 720-7456 or it can be downloaded from the Department's web site at www.newpa.com.

 Written comments may be submitted to Lynette Praster, Deputy Director, Office of Energy Conservation and Weatherization, 4th Floor, Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, Harrisburg, PA 17120 until 5 p.m. on May 30, 2012.

 Persons with a disability who wish to attend this hearing and require auxiliary aid, services or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should contact Ashley Seburn at (717) 720-7456 to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
