Abstract:
This information collection consists of the solicitations that DOE issues inviting applications for loan guarantees under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as amended, 16516 (Title XVII), 42 U.S.C. 16511, and under Section 2602(c) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, as amended (TELGP), 25 U.S.C. 3502(c). DOE uses the information applicants submit to determine their eligibility under these programs and to evaluate the projects they propose for DOE loan guarantees. The collection of this information, which is done in accordance with 10 CFR part 609 (Title XVII) and the applicable TELGP solicitation, is necessary to ensure loan guarantees are issued only to qualified projects and in accordance with the law.

Short Statement:
The Department will no longer require a Community Benefits Plan, which was estimated at 14 hours per application. As explained above, DOE anticipates approximately the same number of respondents to the program. Where DOE once assumed 92 applicants, it now estimates 100 applicants given recent appropriations and program expiry dates. DOE anticipates approximately the same number of burden hours to produce an application, and approximately the same number of applicants. However, there is a net increase in total time burden, attributable to the increased number of applicants; and a net increase in total cost burden attributable to increases in employer costs for total employee compensation from 2020 to 2025 across all occupational categories and functions.
