ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comment. SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) is publishing its intended allocation formula that will be used to distribute funds to Indian Tribes through the $225 million Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program. The purpose of the Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program is to help Tribal households to reduce energy bills, increase home comfort, improve indoor air quality, and reduce emissions by providing direct funding for energy efficiency and electrification home upgrades. This notice provides the tentative allocation formula developed by the Department to distribute funds to Tribes, as well as the allocation amounts and data used to calculate allocations. This notice also describes how Tribes may partner with other Tribes through consortia to submit a single application to DOE, and how Tribes may authorize a third-party agent to handle the application and administration of a grant award. DATES: DOE is accepting public comment through September 15, 2023. Comments must be sent to irahomerebates@hq.doe.gov by midnight EST, September 15, 2023. ADDRESSES: Interested parties are to submit comments electronically to irahomerebates@hq.doe.gov and include the subject line “Comment on FRN for Tribal Rebates.” FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Adam Hasz, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of State and Community Energy Programs, Home Energy Rebates program, SCEP-50, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585-0121.

Introduction DOE is publishing its intended allocation formula for the Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program. Through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Public Law 117-169, section 50122, 1 Congress appropriated $225 million to DOE “to award grants to Indian Tribes to develop and implement a high-efficiency electric home rebate program . . . to remain available through September 30, 2031.” 2 Congress also authorized DOE to utilize 3% of the appropriated funds for program administration and technical assistance, which then provides $218.25 million to be awarded as grants directly to Indian Tribes to develop and implement Tribal rebates programs. 3 Through these grants, Indian Tribes may establish rebates programs to help reduce the upfront cost of efficient electric appliances and other accompanying home energy upgrades in single-family and multi-family homes. As all Federally Recognized Tribes and Tribal entities are Justice40 communities, whether or not they have land, this program also advances the President's historic Justice40 Initiative, established by Executive Order 14008, which set the goal that 40% of the overall benefits of certain Federal investments, such as in climate, clean energy and other areas, flow to disadvantaged or Justice40 communities. 4 1 Codified at 42 U.S.C. 18795a.

While DOE is still developing the program requirements for the Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program, DOE intends that this tentative formula and the accompanying information regarding the application process will help Indian Tribes to begin planning collaboratively with Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs), regional Tribal organizations, Tribal utilities, State Energy Offices, and other important Tribal partner organizations in advance of the release of the program requirements in late 2023. This notice describes the intended allocation formula that DOE intends to use when issuing Tribal rebates program grant funds to Indian Tribes. 5 The allocation formula described in this notice take into consideration feedback provided by Indian Tribes during a Tribal Consultation DOE hosted in March 2023. DOE also consulted with Tribal housing organizations, other Tribal entities and partners, and other federal agencies with Tribal housing programs as it considered options for this formula. 5 For this program, the term “Indian Tribe” has the meaning given the term in section 5304 of title 25. 42 U.S.C. 18795a(d)(3). Appendix A provides the mathematical formula DOE plans to use to allocate funding amounts for each Tribe for the Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program. Appendix B contains the data sources used by the formula to determine the allocations. Appendix C contains a table with the intended formula allocations for Indian Tribes. DOE requests feedback on all topics discussed in this notice. II. Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates Program Allocation Formula Section 50122(a)(2)(B) of the IRA directs DOE to “reserve funds made available [for Indian Tribes] . . . in a manner determined appropriate by the Secretary.” 6 Through this direction, DOE set several goals for its planned Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program allocation formulation based on feedback received during its Tribal Consultation and request for information submissions. 7 This notice describes these goals and the corresponding allocation formula components. 6 42 U.S.C. 18795a(a)(2)(B). Grant awards are to be distributed to an Indian Tribe if the application is approved. 7 The DOE Home Energy Rebates Request for Information is available at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Default.aspx?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery#FoaId01172e95-5645-4356-8f3b-96fd144f9213. First, DOE intends to provide an allocation to every Indian Tribe that wants to administer a home electrification and appliance rebates program. To achieve this goal, the formula must provide sufficient funding so that small and under-resourced Tribes can successfully administer rebate programs. While small Tribes often lack existing staff capacity, Tribes may utilize 20% of their grant to cover administrative expenses to help address this issue. DOE intends for the minimum award to each Tribe to provide a meaningful amount of funding for administrative costs, particularly if small Tribes choose to apply via a consortium as described in Section III of this Federal Register Notice. To meet this goal, DOE intends to set the minimum allocation per Tribe at $150,000; this amount will provide each Tribe with a minimum of $30,000 for administrative expenses. This minimum funding will also ensure that each Tribe can provide upgrades for at least eight households at the maximum rebate level of $14,000. Second, DOE intends to distribute Tribal rebates program grant funds based on Tribal housing and energy upgrade needs. DOE evaluated several potential datasets for housing and energy upgrade needs, but unfortunately most datasets lacked detailed information on housing conditions and energy burden or did not provide full data for all Tribal nations. The best available dataset to describe Tribal housing upgrade needs is the formula data used by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to allocate funding for its Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program. 8 DOE intends to adopt the IHBG formula by using the proportion that each Tribe received out of the total allocations for IHBG grants in FY2023. Specifically, DOE will use the “Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation” data from the FY 2023 IHBG Final Summary sheet. 9 The Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation data sums two components from the IHBG formula, the “Need” component and the “Formula Current Assisted Stock” component, with small additional adjustments as required by IHBG regulations. 10 The IHBG formula's “Need” component uses datapoints on housing cost burden, households lacking kitchens or plumbing, low-income housing shortages, low-income Tribal households, and local American Indian and Alaska Native population within the Tribe's IHBG formula area. 11 The IHBG formula's “Formula Current Assisted Stock” component is a factor that incorporates the number of subsidized housing units that are directly managed by the Tribe prior to the enactment of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996, as amended, (NAHASDA), Public Law 104-330. 12 Because the “Need” component captures various current housing needs variables, and the “Formula Current Assisted Stock” component captures operation and modernization costs of Tribal housing developed pre-NAHASDA, DOE believes that together they may serve as a reasonable proxy of Tribal need for the home electrification and appliance rebates. DOE notes that the IHBG formula was developed through a negotiated rulemaking process. HUD and Tribal leaders and housing professionals representing geographically diverse small, medium, and large Indian Tribes used a unanimous consensus decision-making process to develop the formula. DOE also notes that under the IHBG formula regulations, Indian Tribes are authorized to challenge formula data used in any given year should they feel that the data does not accurately reflect their housing needs. 13 8 The IHBG program website is available at www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/ih/grants/ihbg. 9 The “Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation” is found in Column T of the IHBG FY 2023 Final Summary Sheets, available at https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hud.gov%2Fsites%2Fdfiles%2FPIH%2Fdocuments%2FFY_2023_Final_Summary_Sheets.xlsx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK. 10 The full regulations governing the IHBG formula are available at www.ecfr.gov/current/title-24/subtitle-B/chapter-IX/part-1000/subpart-D. 11 See 24 CFR 1000.324 for more information on this requirement. 12 See 24 CFR 1000.316 for more information on the “Formula Current Assisted Stock” component. 13 See 24 CFR 1000.336 for more information on the annual HUD challenge process data used in the IHBG formula. Third, DOE intends to distribute Tribal rebates program grant funds in an equitable manner that avoids the double-counting of the need of Tribal households with overlapping membership at multiple Tribal levels. For example, in the case of Indian Tribes in Alaska, a Tribal citizen may simultaneously be a member of an Alaska Native Village, Alaska Native Village Corporation, and Alaska Native Regional Corporation. To avoid double-counting, DOE plans to provide funding through the method utilized by the IHBG formula, which credits data on local American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) population and housing needs for the “Need” formula to the Alaska Native Village. Because each Alaska Native Village Corporation has no “Need” data, it does not receive a formula allocation from the IHBG program. If “Need” data exists that is outside of the area of jurisdiction of the Alaska Native Village, HUD credits data on AIAN population and housing needs outside the Alaska Native Village area to the regional Indian Tribe, and if there is no regional Indian Tribe, to the Alaska Native Regional Corporation for the area. 14 14 The HUD regulations for the “Need” component of the IHBG formula for Alaska Native Villages, Native Village Corporations, Regional Tribes, and Native Regional Corporations is available at www.ecfr.gov/current/title-24/subtitle-B/chapter-IX/part-1000/subpart-D/section-1000.327. Formula Factors. The Tribal allocation formula DOE intends to implement for the Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program will use the following factors: • Minimum Allocation of $150,000 per Indian Tribe. • The relative share of the funding an Indian Tribe would receive from the IHBG formula, calculated by using the Tribe's “Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation” divided the sum total of the “Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation” components for all Tribes. Funding Allocation Design: DOE's formula establishes a minimum level of funding of $150,000 per Indian Tribe. The formula then distributes the remaining funds via the relative share of the funding the Tribe would receive from the IHBG formula. For more detail on the Tribal rebates program grant funds allocation formula, see Appendix A of this notice. DOE requests feedback on its intended allocation formula for the Tribal rebates program. III. Designation of Tribal Consortium and Third-Party Agents That Can Submit on Behalf of a Tribe To assist Tribes in accessing rebates program grant funds, DOE intends to offer two alternative ways for Tribes to apply. First, a group of Tribes may form a Tribal consortium and submit a single application package. This consortium will consist of two or more Indian Tribes, as defined within IRA section 50122(d)(3), that have designated a single Indian Tribe to act on their behalf as lead Indian Tribe of the Tribal consortium. The lead Indian Tribe would be the awardee and would be responsible for meeting all grant requirements on behalf of the Tribal consortium. Second, DOE intends to allow for an individual Tribe or a Tribal consortium to authorize a third-party agent to prepare its grant application, submit the application, and manage grant funds for a Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program. Tribes may choose any organization to serve as a third-party agent, including existing affiliates such as Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs), Tribal utilities, and regional Tribal organizations, so long as that organization is properly authorized to act on the Tribe's behalf via a “Tribal Council Resolution” or “Head of Government Letter.” If authorized by a Tribe or consortium, a third-party agent may draw funds from the Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP) system and deposit them into a designated bank account for a Tribe or a Tribal consortium as needed to pay for allowable costs. The third-party agent may also be allowed to submit the required reporting for the Indian Tribe or Tribal consortium pursuant to the award. However, only the Indian Tribe or the lead Indian Tribe of the Tribal consortium may be the awardee. The Indian Tribe and/or the lead Indian Tribe of the Tribal consortium, as applicable, will ultimately be responsible for satisfying all grant requirements. Additionally, the application must be submitted in the name of the Indian Tribe (or lead Indian Tribe if using a Tribal consortium) and use the Indian Tribe's (or lead Indian Tribe's) Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) in FedConnect. A consortium application package or application package submitted by a third-party agent must include a “Tribal Council Resolution” or “Head of Government Letter” from each participating Indian Tribe designating the lead Indian Tribe of the Tribal consortium or third-party to act on its behalf and receive the funding allocated to that specific Tribe. The lead Indian Tribe in a Tribal consortium must also submit a “Tribal Council Resolution” or “Head of Government Letter” stating that it will apply for grant funding and administer the grant on behalf of all Tribes in the consortium; if the lead Tribe plans to work with a third-party agent, it must also identify the third-party agent's responsibilities within the “Tribal Council Resolution” or “Head of Government Letter”. DOE requests feedback on the Tribal consortium process and use of third-party agents working on behalf of a Tribe. Appendix A. Tribal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates Program Allocation Formula EN16AU23.003 A i = Total amount of funding allocated to Indian Tribe i m = $150,000 (minimum funding each Indian Tribe must receive) F = $218,250,000 (total amount of Tribal rebates program funding allocated to grants) n = number of Indian Tribes receiving funding allocations 15 15 See Appendix B for details on small changes made to the list of Indian Tribes eligible for funding from this formula compared to the list of Tribes included in the HUD FY2023 IHBG Summary Allocations spreadsheet. E i = The tribe's “Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation” from the IHBG allocation 16 16 See Appendix B for details on the slight adjustments made to the HUD FY2023 IHBG Summary Allocations spreadsheet, which is the source of this datapoint for each Tribe. ∑E i = The sum of all tribes' “Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation” numbers from the IHBG allocations Appendix B. Data Used in the Tribal Rebates Program Allocation Formula The formula included in Appendix A uses data from a slightly modified version of the “FY_2023_Final_Summary_Sheets” excel document made available by the HUD Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program. 17 In consultation with HUD, DOE made the following changes to the original excel document: 17 The summary spreadsheet of the HUD FY2023 IHBG allocations can be viewed at the following link: https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hud.gov%2Fsites%2Fdfiles%2FPIH%2Fdocuments%2FFY_2023_Final_Summary_Sheets.xlsx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK. 1. DOE removed state-recognized Tribes that receive IHBG allocation under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA) 18 but that are not eligible to receive allocations under IRA section 50122. These five Tribes are the Coharie Tribe, the Haliwa-Saponi Indian Tribe, the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians, and the Waacamaw Siouan Tribe. 18 The NAHASDA is available at https://www.congress.gov/104/plaws/publ330/PLAW-104publ330.pdf. 2. DOE asked HUD to calculate the FY2023 allocation that the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California would have received had they accepted IHBG funding. This allocation was then used as the basis of calculating the Tribal rebates program grant funds to be allocated to the Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California Tribe. 3. HUD informed DOE that the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation received the Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope (ICAS) regional Tribe did not receive its FY2023 IHBG allocation but intends to be the recipient of its IHBG funding in FY2024. DOE asked HUD to switch the FY2023 allocation from the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation to ICAS. This follows the IHBG formula regulations for Tribes in Alaska, which assigns the data for the “Need” factor first to the Alaska Native Village, then the regional Tribe, and then to the Alaska Native Regional Corporation. 19 19 The HUD regulations for the “Need” component of the IHBG formula for Alaska Native Villages, Native Village Corporations, Regional Tribes, and Native Regional Corporations is 24 CFR 1000.327, available at www.ecfr.gov/current/title-24/subtitle-B/chapter-IX/part-1000/subpart-D/section-1000.327. After completing these changes to the “FY_2023_Final_Summary_Sheets” excel document with HUD assistance, DOE used the revised document as the basis for the data inputs for the formula included in Appendix A: • n = 591, which is the number of Tribes included in the revised IHBG FY2023 allocations spreadsheet. • E i = The Tribe's “Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation” in Column T of the revised spreadsheet. • ∑E i = The sum of all Tribes' “Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation” numbers in Column T of the revised spreadsheet. The HUD Regulations that govern the collection of data and calculations using that data to create the “Unadjusted FY 2023 Allocation” numbers found within Column T of the revised spreadsheet under 24 CFR 1000.301, available at www.ecfr.gov/current/title-24/subtitle-B/chapter-IX/part-1000/subpart-D/. Additional information and data related to the IHBG formula is available at www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/ih/codetalk/onap/ihbgformula. Appendix C. List of Intended Formula Allocations for the Tribal Rebates Program While the data components used to calculate the intended formula allocations for the Tribal Rebates Program are from IHBG FY 2023 data, DOE updated the Tribal names included in the following table to match the Tribal names that HUD updated and published on the FY 2024 estimates on June 1, 2023. 20 States are listed to assist with potential coordination of rebate programs between Tribes and State Energy Offices. However, all Tribal Rebates program allocations will be made directly to Tribes. 20 The FY2024 estimated IHBG allocations that uses the updated list of Tribal names is available at https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hud.gov%2Fsites%2Fdfiles%2FPIH%2Fdocuments%2FFY_2024_Estimate_Allocation_Sheets.xlsx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK.
