for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency; (b) the accuracy
of the agency’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information

Applications for loan guarantees
submitted to DOE in response to a

XVII or TELGP, as the case may be, and
to provide DOE with sufficient
information to evaluate an applicant’s
project using the criteria specified in 10
