Amends the Energy Conservation in Existing Buildings Act of 1976 to increase the labor cost limitations for weatherization materials for which financial assistance may be provided under such Act in areas where the Secretary of Energy determines that there is an insufficient number of volunteers, training participants, and public service workers available to work on weatherization projects.
Authorizes the Secretary of Energy to waive the requirement relating to assurances that applicants for weatherization assistance will use such funds to supplement, and not supplant, State and local funds where he makes the determination described above.
Makes inapplicable the limitation on the amount of weatherization assistance allowed to be used for repair to a dwelling to make such weatherization effective if the State policy advisory council requests the Secretary of Energy to increase such amount.
