41346 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 12, 2022 / Notices 

Applications for the Rate Reduction 

Incentive (RRI) must include the 

following information: 

• PHA Name and PHA code; 

• Asset Management Project (AMP) 

number for each AMP included in the 

proposed RRI; 

• A brief description of the action the 

PHA undertook to reduce the utility rate 

and supporting documentation; 

• An explanation of how the PHA 

will calculate savings and anticipated 

savings; and 

• Identification of the incentive the 

PHA will claim, whether it is 50 percent 

or 100 percent of the actual savings. 

HUD uses collected information to 

determine whether applications meet 

eligibility requirements and application 

submission requirements. Applicants 

provide information about the proposed 

contract to enable HUD to evaluate the 

applicant’s response to the criteria for 

rating the application and approving or 

disproving the contract. 

Annual EPC Measurement and 

Verification and savings calculation 

information collected allows HUD to 

audit program performance accurately. 

The quality of reported data is critical 

for ensuring an accurate distribution of 

the Operating Fund subsidy 

appropriation. The information 

collected will allow HUD to accurately 

audit the program. For the EPC program, 

Measurement and Verification data will 

be submitted by the PHA annually in a 

format of their choice. The report must 

contain the actual usage amount of each 

utility under the EPC, the actual unit of 

measure, the consumption savings, and 

the cost savings. The PHAs will also be 

required to submit their consumption 

data using a standardized Excel 

Spreadsheet through the Operating 

Fund Web Portal, the Energy Savings 

Calculator. This Calculator is used to 

ensure the accuracy of the EPC 

incentives being claimed by the PHA in 

their annual Operating Subsidy 

submission. 

For the RRI program, PHAs must 

annually submit documentation on 

energy cost savings attributed to the 

reduction in the rate. This data is 

submitted on an Asset Management 

Project (AMP basis). For the RRI 

program, PHAs will submit their data 

via email using the format of their 

choice.
