				  services continues to rise at a point in time when federal funds supporting
				  this program have been reduced. In recognition of this fact, legislation was
				  passed during the Adjourned Session of the 1981 General Assembly instructing
				  the Commissioner of the Vermont Public Service Department to establish a fee
				  schedule for Home Energy Audits (HEAT).

				  program to provide residence audit services to Vermont's householders.
"Home Energy Audits (HEAT)" - audits of Vermont residences

To establish a fee schedule for Home Energy Audits (HEAT) as
				  mandated in 3 V.S.A. Section 2286(e).
Section 3.1 Heat Audit Fee Schedule
A. The PSD shall charge a $ 15 fee to each
				eligible Vermont householder receiving a HEAT audit.
B. The $ 15 fee will take into consideration
				the ability of the recipient to pay. This will be determined by existing
				applicable federal low income guidelines.
