support services are likely to be reduced such as advertising, technical assistance, 

 research, training, and on-site data collection. Combined cuts in support services 

 and research are expected to be in the range of S6 million to $8 million. BPA is 

 working with its customers to review a range of options to improve program 

 efficiency and reduce costs. 



One specific conservation effort which will be redesigned is the Long-Term Super 

 Good Cents Program The program is being redesigned to make it more efRcient, 

 cost effective, and mitigate any fuel switching problems. The program provides 

 incentives to builders to construct new homes to standards which exceed existing 

 building codes with respect to insulation levels and other house tightening 

 measures. Budget reductions for this program, from advertising, administrative 

 costs, and incentives are expected to reach $3 to $4 million in FY 1994. This 

 would represent about 25 percent of the Long-Term Super Good Cents Program's 

 overall budget.
