WAP: The Federal Perspective
2009 NASCSP Annual Conference eere.energy.gov
WAP: The Federal Perspective
• DOE Vision– Ensure that ARRA investments build better, stronger weatherization
network to provide the foundation for a national energy efficiency retrofit market
– Seize the opportunity ARRA presents for innovative partnerships to leverage training resources and share best practices
• T&TA plan is anticipated to be released in near future – Plan has been in works for several months and was previewed in
various session at the Training Conference
– Will include national baseline technical curricula, the first modules of which have already been piloted
– DOE plans to issue a competitive solicitation for much of the work
Training and Technical AssistanceTraining and Technical Assistance

WAP: The Federal Perspective
• DOE is expanding its project officer corps– 1 WAP grantee per DOE project officer
– Will provide better support and account management
• Project officers will also be charged with oversight and monitoring of grantees– Monitoring will be more extensive and conducted with greater frequency
– Project officers will oversee grantees via desktop monitoring and on-site field visits (both announced and unannounced)
Oversight and MonitoringOversight and Monitoring
2009 NASCSP Annual Conference eere.energy.gov
• Need for more data– Greater levels of funding necessitate greater accountability– Frequent data collection will allow DOE to more quickly identify problems
and progress
• Proposed expanded reporting requirements– Grantees will be required to project estimated spending and production
over the life of the grant– Must then report back every 30 days against their estimates

WAP: The Federal Perspective
• What is it?– National Historic Preservation Act requires any entity using federal
funds in historic properties or potentially historic properties to submit documentation to their State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
– Documentation must be submitted prior to work
– Minimum requirement for properties is age of 50 years or older
• DOE Actions– Providing staff to National Historic Preservation Office to expedite
reviews
– Providing all SHPOs with program and project information to educate staff on SEP, EECBG, and Weatherization Assistance Program
