SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. This information collection request contains: (1) OMB No.: 1910–5200; (2) Information Collection Request Title: Puerto Rico Energy Resilience Fund (PR–ERF), Household Intake Form; (3) Type of Request: Emergency Clearance; (4) Purpose: The PR–ERF will support the installation of rooftop solar and storage solutions for vulnerable Puerto Rican households. The purpose of this Information Collection Request (ICR) is khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:47 Oct 31, 2024 Jkt 265001 to authorize the ‘PR–ERF Household Intake Form’ as the means to collect homeowner information necessary to qualify households as eligible to participate in the deployment phase of the PR–ERF. Eligibility is limited to very low-income single-family households 1 residing in Puerto Rico that (1) include an individual with an energy-dependent disability or (2) are located in a Last Mile Community.2 On May 15, 2024, OMB approved form 1910–5200. GDO is seeking a revision of the current intake form, specifically the sections related to income eligibility and proof of an individual with an energy dependent disability. DOE has initiated installations of solar PV and battery storage systems to address the harm and risk represented by the fragility of the island’s power system. However, DOE has received significant public input from program awardees and potential beneficiaries 3 to expand the types of information that may be submitted to verify eligibility under the program. Many awardees and potential beneficiaries of this program have requested DOE expand the definition ‘‘very low-income single-family household’’ to consider additional income qualifying programs, such as Plan de Salud Vital and USDA Sections 502 and 504 Programs and allow potential beneficiaries to submit this information as verification of eligibility to the program. Also, awardees expressed age verification as an appropriate modality for verifying energy-dependent disability status and including temperature control devices as eligible medical equipment for energy-dependent critical load purposes. As a result, it is necessary for DOE to modify the program information collection practices in response to this public feedback. (5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 40,140; (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 80,000; (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 56,800; (8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $845,520. Statutory Authority: The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, Public Law 117–328, directs the Department of 1 A census block that (a) has a high percent of very low-income households, and (b) experiences frequent and prolonged power outages. Solar Ambassador organizations will perform outreach activities in Last Mile Communities to identify qualifying households. 2 https://clausa.app.carto.com/map/f63080c519c9-47c6-8ac8-74d96358e9ed. 3 This includes responses to a Request for Information on the program design issues February 21, 2023 as well through negotiations with program awardees.
