Abstract: DOE has issued regulations governing applications for loan guarantees from the United States Department of Energy to finance projects and facilities located in the United States that employ innovative and advanced fossil energy technologies. The information applicants provide will be evaluated to determine which projects are appropriate and qualify for the Department’s Loan Guarantees. The collection of this information is critical to ensure that the government has sufficient information to determine whether applicants meet the eligibility requirements to qualify for a DOE loan guarantee and to provide DOE with sufficient information to evaluate an applicant’s project using the criteria specified in 10 CFR Part 609.
