Abstract:
EECBG is a program, authorized by the Energy Independence and Security Act which provides Federal financial assistance and technical support to state and local governments and tribal nations to carry out activities designed to save energy, create and retain jobs, increase energy efficiency, and decrease harmful emissions. Many of the grant recipients are unfamiliar with the provisions surrounding the expenditure of Federal funds and the vast majority has not had a pre-existing professional relationship with DOE. The size and pace of EECBG Program execution create an urgent need for DOE to collect certain information on a quarterly basis in order to adequately monitor, report, and ensure transparency and accountability.
