| This worksheet is used to capture information on Critical Material project proposals. Input data and assumptions should be substantiated in and show clear correspondence to applicant's project narrative. Applicant should first fill out the relevant user input (green) cells in the Project Overview tab. Data will be extracted from this workbook to compare submissions. Therefore, no cells, rows, or columns should be added. |

Qualified Investment ($) |
|
|
Dollar amount of the qualified investment that "re-equips, expands, or establishes" the facility, as defined in 48C(b). |
|
|
Expected Credit Rate |
30% |
|
Applicants should select a 30% tax credit if they anticipate meeting the wage and apprenticeship requirements under 48C(e)(5) and (6). Applicants who do not anticipate meeting those requirements should select 6% from the dropdown. |

Do the construction jobs meet wage and apprenticeship requirements, as specificed in 48C(e) and treasury guidance? |
|
| Direct Operating Jobs |
|
FTE equivalent |
Quantify the number of direct jobs that will be created during operation of the facility. For retrofits/reequipped facilities, only include the number of additional operating jobs created by the project. |

Applicant should first fill out the relevant user input (green) cells below. If the project is producing multiple critical minerals and or is involved in multiple production stages (processing refining, recycling), fill in quantity in each relevant mineral and or production stage that is applicable. Data will be extracted from this workbook to compare submissions. Therefore, no cells, rows, or columns should be added.
Any encourage/discourage recommendation from DOE does not serve as a guarantee that: a listed material from the Draft DOE Critical Materials list (indicated with an asterisk) will be included in the Final DOE Critical Materials list and that a full application can be based on that material. |

Notes |
| If other material is produced, enter the material and associated amounts after row 78 |
If the facility performs any processing (converting ore into high-value concentrate e.g., comminution, dewatering, beneficiation), fill out this column with the average annual output tonnage of the metal or element content contained in the concentrate produced. (E.g., If you produce a concentrate that contain multiple recoverable critical materials, please calculate each recoverable material content contained in your concetrate and fill out the annual average amount in each respective material below) |
If the facility performs any refining at all (converting a concentrate into metal or element e.g., smelting, purifying, reduction), fill out this column with the average annual output tonnage of each respective metal or element produced. |
If the facility performs any recycling activities, fill out this column with the average annual output tonnage of the metal or element produced/recovered from the recyling activity. |
