(a) Criteria and services. A public utility shall identify in its USECP the criteria used for performing incidental repairs and health and safety measures as follows:

1. (1) Incidental repairs. Expenditures on program measures may include incidental repairs to the dwelling needed to make those program measures operate effectively.
2. (2) Health and safety measures. These measures may include installing smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors, performing combustion testing and identifying and remediating potential hazards such as knob and tube wiring, mold, asbestos and moisture.

(c) Deferral. A public utility may defer a dwelling due to health, safety or structural problems or a combination of these problems that either do not meet the criteria or exceed the maximum budget allowances for incidental repairs or health and safety measures and the deferral problems cannot be addressed through coordination with other available programs. The following apply:

1. (1) If deferral is necessary, the public utility shall inform the customer in writing of the conditions that must be met for program services to be installed and provide the customer with referral assistance to organizations or other programs that can address the deferral condition or conditions, if these resources are known to be available.
2. (2) A public utility shall track and maintain a list of dwellings deferred and the reason for the deferral within the past 3 years. This information shall be reported under § 58.15a (relating to LIURP reporting and evaluation).
