Risk Assessment and Specific Conditions: Consistent with 2 CFR 200.205, before awarding grants under this competition the Department conducts a review of the risks posed by applicants.

Integrity and Performance System: If you are selected under this competition to receive an award that over the course of the project period may exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $150,000), under 2 CFR 200.205(a)(2) we must make a judgment about your integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards—that is, the risk posed by you as an applicant—before we make an award. In doing so, we must consider any information about you that is in the integrity and performance system (currently referred to as the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)), accessible through SAM. You may review and comment on any information about yourself that a Federal agency previously entered and that is currently in FAPIIS. 5.

Abstract: ENERGY STAR® is a voluntary energy efficiency labeling and public outreach program aimed at forming public-private partnerships that prevent air pollution rather than control it after its creation. ENERGY STAR’s new construction programs promote cost-effective, whole house energy efficiency that is independently verified by third party professionals. ENERGY STAR also promotes cost-effective energy efficiency improvements in existing homes through its ENERGY STAR Verified HVAC Installation program. Participation in the ENERGY STAR program is voluntary and included the following activities: Joining the ENERGY STAR Program and Related Activities: An organization interested in joining ENERGY STAR as a partner is asked to complete and submit a partnership agreement. Partners agree to undertake efforts such as educating their staff and the public about the partnership, developing and implementing a plan to improve energy performance in homes, and highlighting achievements utilizing the ENERGY STAR label. Verification of ENERGY STAR Guidelines: The verification process for site-built homes involves the home builder, the third-party verification organization (Home Energy Rating Providers and Home Energy Raters) and the HVAC contractor, which complete four checklists as part of the verification process. The verification process for multifamily high-rise units involves the developer submitting information both pre-construction and post-construction to a third-party Multifamily High Rise Review Organization to ensure that program prerequisites and energy conservation measures are properly installed and meet ENERGY STAR requirements. In addition, plants producing manufactured homes undergo a certification process to ensure that they can consistently produce and install homes that meet ENERGY STAR guidelines. Also, under ENERGY STAR’s Verified HVAC Installation program, local program sponsors promote the installation of HVAC systems in homes to meet ENERGY E:\FR\FM\03MYN1.SGM 03MYN1
