Abstract: DOE has issued regulations governing applications for loans from the United States Department of Energy to manufacturing facilities located in the United States and engineering integration performed in the United States for the manufacture of advanced technology vehicles and components. The information applicants provide will be evaluated to determine which borrowers qualify for the Department’s loans under this program. 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 and to provide DOE with sufficient information to evaluate an applicant’s project using the criteria specified in 10 CFR Part 611.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: As described in Item 13 of the form, due to programmatic changes, DOE estimates fewer responses annually, reducing its estimated annual responses from 25 responses to 7 responses. Assuming an hourly burden estimate of 132.5 per respondent per response, this equates to total respondent hours of 928 per year. The reduction in the estimated number of responses and corresponding total hours arises specifically from the program’s efforts to better educate prospective applicants upfront about eligibility issues and related requirements of the application process, through which efforts DOE expects fewer, but higher quality applications each year in the future. The previously approved information collection also included calculation errors. Previously, DOE included an estimate of 1,447 hours per respondent per response, but such estimate was miscalculated (the previously estimated hour burden per response was erroneously multiplied by the estimated by the number of responses, then estimated at 25, to incorrectly calculate the hour burden per applicant, and then multiplied by 25 again to severely overestimate the total annual burden hours at 37,163).
