Abstract: This collection of information is necessary for a comprehensive and rigorous evaluation of the Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program during the Program Years 2009, 2010 and 2011 when the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)funding totaled $5 billion. During this time period, the program expects approximately 600,000 homes to be weatherized. The evaluation will examine program operations, energy savings, non-energy impacts, and customer satisfaction. Respondents include states, local weatherization agencies, utilities, occupants of low-income homes, and weatherization workers.
