This rule proposes to revise HUD's
energy audit requirements applicable to HUD's public housing
program for the purpose of clarifying such requirements, as well as
identifying energy-efficient measures that need to be addressed in
the audit and procedures for improved coordination with physical
needs assessments. In addition, the rule moves the energy audit
requirements to a different part of HUD's title of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
a. This is a revision of the
energy audit portion of an existing information collection (ICR
Reference No. 201005-2577-002). All PHAs have been required to
perform energy audits. The increased burden recognizes that the
proposed energy audit standards represent a higher standard than
currently exists, although many PHAs may already be performing at
that standard. The current standard is simply to meet whatever
state standard may exist; the proposed standards are more specific
in that they identify classifications of ecms that must be
considered, include review and evaluation of energy consumption and
costs, require a physical observation, require a simple payback
analysis for ecms, and expand the potential scope of an energy
audit to include consideration of green measures.
