Grant programs for schools and hospitals and for buildings owned by units of local government and public care institutions, amendment of regulations: Department of Energy. Final rule

The Department of Energy (DOE) today issues a final rulemaking amending existing regulations for the administration of the grant programs providing schools, hospitals, units of local government, and public care institutions with financial assistance for the purpose of reducing energy consumption. The revisions are made as a result of experience obtained during the operation of two grant cycles, and are made for the purpose of reducing the administrative burdens on institutions and States participating in these programs and providing greater flexibility to States and institutions in their implementation of the program.
