Summary:

The Weatherization Assistance Program enables low-income families to reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. The Weatherization Program is regulated entirely by the federal government through the U.S. Department of Energy; therefore, there is no need for state regulations that restate federal requirements and this regulation is repealed.
