FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

The
Delaware River Basin Commission
(‘‘DRBC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) is a
Federal-interstate compact agency that
was created in 1961 by concurrent
legislation of the States of Delaware,
New Jersey, and New York, the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the
United States Government for purpose
of jointly managing the water resources
of the Delaware River Basin.
DRBC currently is compiling data for
the 2022 Delaware River and Bay Water
Quality Assessment Report (‘‘2022
Assessment’’) required by the federal
Clean Water Act (‘‘CWA’’). The 2022
Assessment will present the extent to
which waters of the Delaware River and
Bay are attaining designated uses in
accordance with Section 305(b) of the
CWA and the Commission’s Water
Quality Regulations, 18 CFR part 410,
and will identify impaired waters,
which consist of waters in which
surface water quality standards are not
being met.
The proposed assessment
methodology to be used in the 2022
Assessment is available for review at the
following URL: https://www.nj.gov/

AGENCY:

The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE), pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
intends to reinstate a previously
approved collection, with change, for
three years with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). The
information collection request,
Weatherization Assistance Program SubPrograms, was previously approved on
May 31, 2014, under OMB Control No.
1910–5157 and expired on May 31,
2017.

SUMMARY:

Comments regarding this
collection must be received on or before
January 21, 2022. If you anticipate
difficulty in submitting comments
within that period, contact the person
listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
sent to Brittany Price by email to the
following address: Brittany.Price@
ee.doe.gov with the subject line
‘‘Weatherization Assistance Program
Sub-Programs (OMB No. 1910–5157)’’
included in the message. Submit
electronic comments in WordPerfect,
Microsoft Word, PDF, or ASCII file
format, and avoid the use of special
characters or any form of encryption. No
telefacsimiles (faxes) will be accepted.
For detailed instructions on submitting
comments, see section III (Submission
of Comments) of this document.
Although DOE has routinely accepted
public comment submissions through a
variety of mechanisms, including postal
mail and hand delivery/courier, the
Department has found it necessary to
make temporary modifications to the
comment submission process in light of
the ongoing Covid–19 pandemic. DOE is
currently accepting only electronic
submissions at this time. If a commenter
finds that this change poses an undue
hardship, please contact the DOE staff
person listed in this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection
instrument and instructions should be
directed to Brittany Price, EE–5W, U.S.

Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the extended
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

This information collection request
contains:
(1) OMB No.: 1910–5157;
(2) Information Collection Request
Title: ‘‘Weatherization Enhancement
and Innovation (E&I), Sustainable
Energy Resources for Consumers
(SERC), and Community Scale
Weatherization Pilot Grants’’;
(3) Type of Review: Reinstatement,
with change, of a previously approved
collection for which approval has
expired;
(4) Purpose: To collect information on
the status of grantee activities, including
but not limited to weatherized units,
total people assisted with grant funds,
expenditures, and results, to ensure that
program funds are being used
appropriately, effectively and
expeditiously. All information
collection proposed under these
programs is necessary for their
implementation, and thus necessary for
the function of the Agency as a whole.
The information collected will be used
by program staff to track the recipients
of E&I, SERC, and Community Scale
activities, their progress in achieving
scheduled milestones, and funds
expended (including expenditure rates).
The information also enables program
staff to provide required or requested
information on program activities to
OMB, Congress and the public.

GHG emissions project sponsors are
currently available to project sponsors?
c. Are market-based mitigation
measures effective and verifiable
methods of mitigation over the life of a
project? What effects would this type of
mitigation from Commissionjurisdictional projects have on offset,
REC, and GHG compliance markets?
d. Should project applicants submit
mitigation proposals with their project
application? How soon might current
project applicants be able to supplement
the record or respond to a Commission
data request with their mitigation
proposal?
e. What factors should the
Commission consider in evaluating the
sufficiency of a mitigation proposal?

3. Compliance and Cost Recovery of
Mitigation

Post-Technical Conference Questions
for Comment
1. The Level of Mitigation for a Proposed
Project’s Reasonably Foreseeable
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
a. When determining the amount of
reasonably foreseeable GHG emissions
associated with a proposed project, how
could the Commission consider: Project
utilization projections; State or regional
natural gas usage projections from
Public Utility Commissions or other
entities; individual emissions data for
industrial or electric generation
customers; known netting effects from
displacement of higher or lower
emitting sources, including
displacement that may occur over the
life of the project; or other factors?
b. What is the appropriate level of
mitigation associated with GHG
emissions for a proposed project?
Should the Commission determine the
amount of mitigation required on a caseby-case basis or should the mitigation
levels be set at zero, less than
significant, or some other level?
2. Types of Mitigation
a. What types of physical mitigation
associated with GHG emissions are
project sponsors currently using at their
facilities? What types of physical
mitigation associated with GHG
emissions project sponsors are currently
available to project sponsors? Are there
limitations to physical mitigation
measures?
b. What types of market-based
mitigation associated with GHG
emissions are project sponsors currently
using? What types of alternative or
market-based mitigation associated with

a. How could the Commission ensure
continued verification and accounting
of GHG mitigation measures since the
Commission would need to monitor and
assess mitigation during the life of the
project?
b. Are there federal or state agencies
which currently monitor compliance of
GHG mitigation measures? Should the
Commission explore potential
interagency agreements or
memorandums of understanding with
other federal agencies to monitor
compliance of GHG mitigation
measures?
c. How could the Commission allow
project sponsors to recover the costs of
market-based mitigation measures, such
as the purchase of offsets? Would
allowing recovery of such costs through
an annual tracker or surcharge be
appropriate?
