HUD is creating the Capture Energy
Efficiency Measures for PIH (CEEMP) data system to track the amount
and types of Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) being implemented
within Public and Indian (PIH) units. The CEEMP data system is
necessary in order to support the Department's Agency Performance
Goals (APGs), specifically APG #13 which sets precise targets for
completing green retrofits and creating energy efficient units. In
addition to the direct support of HUD APG #13, the implementation
of the CEEMP data system will enable HUD to provide reports to OMB
on the progress of ECMs completed with PIH funding. Without the
approval of the CEEMP data system, HUD will not be able to track
PIH ECMs and will be unable to support the Department's APG #13 or
provide OMB with ECM information.
This is a new collection. The
CEEMP system will have an increased target audience of all PIH
grantees, the information collected from grantees is reduced from
the encompassing unit data submission requirements of RAMPS to only
the energy efficiency measures being implemented by PIH grantees.
Therefore, the CEEMP PRA will have an increased number of
respondents but the amount of time to complete the required
submission will be reduced resulting in a projected labor burden
increase of $1,411,550.56 for a total of $5,884,704.00. Based on
the department's current experience with the RAMPS program, HUD
anticipates the projected labor burden to steadily decrease over
time as the grantees become familiar with navigating the CEEMP
system and upon completing their initial report submission; each
subsequent submission will be an update to the initial submitted
report and will require less labor to complete.
