grant monies are exhausted. These may 

include revolving loan funds, utility onbill payment and/or financing, the sale 

of carbon and other offsets, the sale of 

white tags to meet efficiency mandates, 

and the sale of efficiencies into forward 

capacity markets. DOE intends to allow 

maximum flexibility to applicants to 

demonstrate innovative models of 

sustainability. DOE is interested in 

learning whether applicants will 

consider using a Sustainable Energy 

Grant to develop or enhance a revenue 

model similar to these listed. 

Question 6: Please Comment on the 

Proposed Application Structure 

Proposed Application structure. 

Applications for the proposed FOA 

shall include at least the following key 

elements: 

1. A description of how many and 

what kinds of units will be targeted by 

the program, and their geographic 

location. This may be a map of zones/ 

neighborhoods that will be targeted, or 

a detailed text description. 

2. A description of how the program 

will conduct outreach/marketing to 

customers of the program and convince 

them to agree to participate. 

3. A description of how the 

weatherization will be delivered, 

including who will do the audits and 

contract work. 

4. A description of how savings from 

weatherization will be monitored and 

verified. 

5. A description of how the program 

will be financed, including both 

leveraged funds and alternate revenue 

streams as discussed above. This section 

of the application should also include a 

discussion of the sustainability of the 

program after the grant monies are 

exhausted. 

6. An implementation plan describing 

the overall execution of the program, 

including a detailed timeline and 

milestones at each stage. 

7. Letters of commitment from all 

partners contributing project funds, and 

project support letters from an executive 

officer from all key partners. 

Applicants will be encouraged to add 

further discussion as necessary, 

including an analysis of key market 

barriers to retrofits in their local 

jurisdiction, local resources other than 

funding, a description of the applicant’s 

historical work in WAP and other 

energy efficiency programs, and any 

other relevant information. 

DOE will be conducting a formal 

independent evaluation of the projects 

funded with Sustainable Energy Grants, 

and recipients under this proposed FOA 

would need to cooperate with the 

collection of information for assessment. 

Recipients will be expected to complete 

a Project Final Report which will 

document the project’s achievements, 

the steps that were undertaken through 

the project’s processes, and lessons 

learned that can help DOE support 

replication of success. 

Question 7: Please Comment on the 

Proposed Merit Review Criteria 

Proposed Merit Review Criteria 

Criterion 1: Project Impact. 

Weight: [50%] 

• The expected quantitative impact of 

the proposed project to low and 

moderate income energy consumers in 

terms of homes weatherized, cost per 

weatherized home, energy saved per 

home, emissions avoided, and jobs 

created. 

• The potential for replication of 

successful results, both within the local 

jurisdiction in future years as well as by 

other local agencies and communities 

around the country. 

• The impact on the health and safety 

and energy costs of consumers served. 

• The extent to which the proposed 

project will create meaningful and 

sustainable market transformation, 

particularly after grant monies are 

exhausted. 

Criterion 2: Project Approach. 

Weight: [25%] 

• The soundness of the project’s 

management strategy, including the 

extent to which the proposal contains 

clear goals, well-defined tasks and 

methods, objective deliverables, and 

realistic schedule and milestones. 

• The specifics of the outreach/ 

marketing strategy, the funding 

structure, the implementation/delivery 

plan, and the monitoring/verification 

plan, and the strategy for feedback and 

continuous improvement of the program 

during its operation. 

• The extent to which institutional, 

regulatory, or market barriers have been 

identified and the project includes 

reasonable approaches to overcoming 

those barriers. 

• The extent to which the application 

demonstrates the ability to fulfill 

requirements of the Recovery Act, 

including Davis-Bacon, Buy American, 

and reporting capabilities (if Recovery 

Act funding is used). 

• Soundness of Evaluation Strategy, 

including proper record keeping for 

DOE evaluation, and utility bill proof or 

actual measurements of energy savings 

where possible. 

Criterion 3: Partnership Structure and 

Capabilities. 

Weight: [25%] 

• The extent to which roles and 

responsibilities of each partner/team 

member have been identified and are 

reasonably matched to their ability to 

successfully manage and implement the 

proposed project. 

• The ability of the project team to 

complete the work successfully, 

including qualifications, credentials, 

capabilities and experience of key 

personnel/team members. 

Question 8: Please Comment on the 

Proposed Program Policy Factors 

Proposed Program Policy Factors 

• Diversity of awards, including 

geographic locations, climates, and 

program structures. 

• Benefits to low- and moderateincome families and economically 

distressed areas. 

• The extent of partnerships with 

other public and private entities that 

contribute to the resources and 

implementation of the program, 

including financial partnerships. 

• Selection of applications that 

promote and enhance the objectives of 

the Recovery Act, especially job creation 

and preservation, and economic 

recovery (if funded by the Recovery 

Act). 

Question 9: ‘‘Moderate Income’’ 

The WAP Program has traditionally 

served low-income energy users and 

‘‘low-income’’ is defined under the WAP 

authorities as 200% of poverty level. 

DOE requests information on the 

income range that could be 

characterized as ‘‘moderate income.’’

Difenzoquat; Registration Review Case 

Closure; Notice of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s notice of 

registration review case closure for the 

pesticide difenzoquat, case 0223. 

Registration review is EPA’s periodic 

review of pesticide registrations to 

ensure that each pesticide continues to 

satisfy the statutory standard for 

registration, that is, that the pesticide 

can perform its intended function 

without causing unreasonable adverse 

effects on human health or the 

environment. Through this program, 

EPA is ensuring that each pesticide’s 

registration is based on current 

scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment.
