the Weatherization Assistance Program

AGENCY: Office of State and Community Energy Programs, U.S. Department 
of Energy.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, intends to extend a previously approved 
collection, without change, for three years with the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB). The information collection request, 
Weatherization Assistance Program Sub-Programs, was previously approved 
on May 26, 2022, under OMB Control No. 1910-5157 and expires on May 31, 
2025.

DATES: Comments regarding this collection must be received on or before 
January 24, 2025. If you anticipate difficulty in submitting comments 
within that period, contact the person listed below as soon as 
possible.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be sent to Rose Croog by email to the 
following address: [email protected] with the subject line 
``Weatherization Assistance Program Sub-Programs (OMB No. 1910-5157)'' 
included in the message.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the information collection instrument and instructions should 
be directed to Rose Croog, by email or phone at [email protected], 
(240) 702-5375.

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.: 1910-5157;
    (2) Information Collection Request Title: ``Weatherization 
Enhancement and Innovation (E&I), Sustainable Energy Resources for 
Consumers (SERC), and Community Scale Weatherization Pilot Grants'';
    (3) Type of Request: Extension, without change, of a previously 
approved collection for which approval has expired;
    (4) Purpose: To collect information on the status of grantee 
activities, including but not limited to weatherized units, total 
people assisted with grant funds, expenditures, and results, to ensure 
that program funds are being used appropriately, effectively and 
expeditiously. All information collection proposed under these programs 
is necessary for their implementation, and thus necessary for the 
function of the Agency as a whole. The information collected will be 
used by program staff to track the recipients of E&I, SERC, and 
Community Scale activities, their progress in achieving scheduled 
milestones, and funds expended (including expenditure rates). The 
information also enables program staff to provide required or requested 
information on program activities to OMB, Congress and the public.
    (5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 205;
    (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 379;
    (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 2,013 hours;
    (8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: 
$136,954.47.

L. 116-260, div. Z, title I, codified at 42 U.S.C. 6864d and section
