OSTI ID:6285585
Title IV, Part A, of the Energy Conservation and Production Act, enacted August 14, 1976, (Public Law 94-385), directs the Federal Energy Administration (FEA), and its successor, the Department of Energy (DOE), to establish a Weatherization Assistance Program for Low-Income Persons. The program provides Federal financial assistance to carry out a national weatherization program to assist low income persons, especially the elderly and the handicapped low income. ECPA provides that DOE shall make grants to the States and, in certain instances, to Community Action Agencies, units of general purpose local government, and Native American tribal organizations to carry out weatherization projects. To implement this program, the Act authorizes $55 million for FY 77, $65 million for FY 78, and $80 million for FY 79. In order to implement the Weatherization Assistance Program, FEA published draft regulations in the Federal Register on April 1, 1977 (42 F.R. 17470).
