DOE provides weatherization grants to states, which in turn provide grants to non-profit sub-grantees. These sub-grantees fall into one of three categories: 1. The sub-grantee uses its own employees to perform all the weatherization services in the home, 2. The sub-grantee uses a combination of its own employees and contractors to perform weatherization services, or 3. The sub-grantee has no employees that perform weatherization services; instead, every service is performed by a hired contractor. Must these sub-grantees be RRP-certified firms?
Answer : Beginning April 22, 2010, no firm may perform, offer, or claim to perform renovations covered by the RRP Rule without certification from EPA. Sub-grantees that use their own employees to perform any or all of the weatherization services in the home, such as the sub-grantees in the first…

The practice of recoating painted surfaces in preparation for new tenants would not constitute “renovation” unless accompanied by activities that disturb the painted surface and…
