DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Weatherization Assistance Program Proposed State Plan; Public Hearing

[43 Pa.B. 4356]
[Saturday, August 3, 2013]

 The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) will hold a public hearing at 2 p.m. on Thursday, August 15, 2013, in PUC Hearing Room 5, Plaza Level, Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, Harrisburg, PA. The purpose of this hearing is to receive comments on the proposed Pennsylvania 2013-14 annually-appropriated United States Department of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program Plan (regular plan).

 The 2013-14 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.

 The State Plan also focuses on the quality requirements for the future as per the United States Department of Energy's implementation of Standard Work Specifications for the weatherization workforce. Also, there is a continued National focus on Weatherization Plus Health efforts when coordination of other health and safety, lead-abatement and housing rehab are coordinated locally with weatherization services.

 A continued noteworthy issue in the 2013-14 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 as soon as possible if they intend to voluntarily partner and consolidate work with each other to deliver weatherization services to their service areas.

 Copies of the 2013-14 regular plan may be obtained beginning August 2, 2013, by contacting the Department of Community and Economic Development, Center for Community Services, Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, 4th Floor, 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, Director, Center for Community Services, Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, 4th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17120 until 5 p.m. on August 15, 2013.

 Persons with a disability who wish to attend this hearing and require auxiliary aid, service 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.
