 The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, November 3, 2010, at 10 a.m. in PUC Hearing Room 2, Plaza Level of the Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, Harrisburg, PA. The purpose of this hearing is to receive comments on the proposed amendments to the Commonwealth's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) State Weatherization Plan.

 The first ARRA plan amendment will accommodate the additional funds awarded to the state under the Sustainable Energy Resources for Consumers (SERC) grant. SERC funds have been made available to expand the materials, benefits and technologies not covered under the Weatherization Assistance Program. In this Commonwealth, $1,379,821 was awarded to the Commission on Economic Opportunity and the Scranton Lackawanna Human Development Agency to install hybrid water heaters and in-home energy use monitors in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties.

 In the second amendment, the Department intends to amend ARRA plans to accommodate the changes necessary to do the following: reduce the allocation awarded to the York County Board of Commissioners, Carbon County Community Action Committee for Human Services and the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency; and increase allocations granted to the Philadelphia Housing Development Corporation and the Commission on Economic Opportunity of Luzerne County.

 Finally, the Department intends to amend the ARRA and regular plan to establish performance contracting plan by implementing Performance Standards and Metrics and an Addendum to Performance Standards and Metrics for Redistribution of ARRA and Annual DOE Dollars.
