Dear Chairman Mendelson:

Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code  47 -363(a) and to the

Continuing Appropriations Act, 2022, HR 5305 (approved September 30, 2021), the Office of the

Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayors request to reprogram Fiscal Year 2022

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Federal Payment funds budget authority in the amount of

$1,500,000 within the Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE). The funds are needed to

cover the cost of the Sustainable Energy Utilitys Solar Energy Capacity Development Task Order.

This action will reprogram budget authority within DOEEs Energy division, from Comptroller

Source Groups (CSGs) 40 (Other Services and Charges) and 50 (Subsidies and Transfers) to CSG

41 (Contractual Services - Other). Funds are available based on the original appropriation but

require reallocation to meet programmatic needs.

FROM:          Tommy Wells, Director Department of Energy and Environment

DATE:          October 12, 2021

SUBJECT:       FY 2022 Request to Reprogram $1,500,000 within the Department of Energy

               and Environment

The Department of Energy and Environment requests to reprogram $1,500,000 in Fund 8153-

ARPA within the agency to ensure DOEE may fully fund the Sustainable Energy Utility's

(DCSEU) Solar Energy Capacity Development Task Order. The reprogramming is necessary to

accurately track spending for the DCSEU contract in the budget. The DCSEU will install

community solar across the District, which will enable an additional 3,600 low- and moderate-

income households in solar energy assistance and will eliminate 15,000 metric tonnes of carbon

emissions annually through community renewable energy facilities (CREF) and single-family net

energy metering (NEM) facilities that will provide the energy benefits.

Why are the funds needed?

The funds are needed in Comptroller Source Group (CSG) 41 to support the DCSEU contract

and accurately track expenditures.

Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?

No, these funds are required to ensure tracking of expenditures and budget may be accurately

and timely reported.

How will the funds be reprogrammed?

See attached.

1200 First Street NE, 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20002 | (202) 535-2600 | doee.dc.gov

Why are the funds available?

The funds are available because they were placed in CSG 40 and 50 during budget formulation,

however to fulfill the requirements of these funds they must be moved to CSG 41.

What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal

year?

If this reprogramming is not approved, the agency will be unable to utilize the ARPA funds to

the purpose for which they are needed. This request will support the recovery needs of the

District of Columbias low- and moderate-income households by making more benefits

available. If the agency cannot complete this project, the District may not be able to properly

track contract expenditures for reporting purposes on ARPA funds.

What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and

the impact on the program or agency?

None.

Should you have any questions, please contact David Washington at david.washington1@dc.gov.
