What does "air conditioning" mean on the Section 8 utility allowance sheet?

I have a couple of rentals with central AC that I rent and am planning to rent to section 8 tenants. I noticed on the utility allowance sheet that there was a line item for "air conditioning" which required to be specified as being paid for either by the landlord or the tenant. The tenant is responsible for electricity, which is specified as a different line item.

My question is, how do I answer this? Is this question more geared towards window units? If I were to provide window units, it seems I should write "landlord." So, with that line of thinking, I'm guessing I should also put "Landlord" since I provided the central AC unit? Or is the question more geared towards an amount of electricity that is used to operate these items, in which case it would be "Tenant"?

I have no clue how to answer, and the housing authority never answers their phone and hardly returns calls half the time since they're so swamped, so I'm wondering if anyone else might have a clue while I continue to wait to hear back from them.
