Energy, Grid Deployment Office, 1000

065, Washington, DC 20585; (240) 429– 

5213; aisha.miranda-rivera@hq.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments 

are invited on: (a) Whether the extended 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

This information collection request 

contains: 

(1) OMB No.: 1910–5200; 

(2) Information Collection Request 

Title: Puerto Rico Energy Resilience 

Fund (PR–ERF), Household Intake 

Form; 

(3) Type of Request: Emergency 

Clearance; 

(4) Purpose: The PR–ERF will support 

the installation of rooftop solar and 

storage solutions for vulnerable Puerto 

Rican households. The purpose of this 

Information Collection Request (ICR) is 

to authorize the ‘PR–ERF Household 

Intake Form’ as the means to collect 

homeowner information necessary to 

qualify households as eligible to 

participate in the deployment phase of 

the PR–ERF. Eligibility is limited to very 

low-income single-family households 1

residing in Puerto Rico that (1) include 

an individual with an energy-dependent 

disability or (2) are located in a Last 

Mile Community.2 On May 15, 2024, 

OMB approved form 1910–5200. GDO is 

seeking a revision of the current intake 

form, specifically the sections related to 

income eligibility and proof of an 

individual with an energy dependent 

disability. DOE has initiated 

installations of solar PV and battery 

storage systems to address the harm and 

risk represented by the fragility of the 

island’s power system. However, DOE 

has received significant public input 

from program awardees and potential 

beneficiaries 3 to expand the types of 

information that may be submitted to 

verify eligibility under the program. 

Many awardees and potential 

beneficiaries of this program have 

requested DOE expand the definition 

‘‘very low-income single-family 

household’’ to consider additional 

income qualifying programs, such as 

Plan de Salud Vital and USDA Sections 

502 and 504 Programs and allow 

potential beneficiaries to submit this 

information as verification of eligibility 

to the program. Also, awardees 

expressed age verification as an 

appropriate modality for verifying 

energy-dependent disability status and 

including temperature control devices 

as eligible medical equipment for 

energy-dependent critical load 

purposes. As a result, it is necessary for 

DOE to modify the program information 

collection practices in response to this 

public feedback. 

(5) Annual Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 40,140; 

(6) Annual Estimated Number of 

Total Responses: 80,000; 

(7) Annual Estimated Number of 

Burden Hours: 56,800; 

(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $845,520. 

Statutory Authority: The Consolidated 

Appropriations Act of 2023, Public Law 

117–328, directs the Department of 

Energy to improve the resilience of the 

Puerto Rican electric grid, including 

grants for low-and-moderate-income 

households and households that include 

individuals with disabilities for the 

purchase and installation of renewable 

energy, energy storage, and other grid 

technologies.
