SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the
extended collection of information is necessary 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 on respondents, including through the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
This information collection request contains: (1) OMB No.: 1910-
5134; (2) Information Collection Request Title: DOE Loan Guarantees for
Energy Projects; (3) Type of Request: Extension; (4) Purpose: This
information collection package covers collection of information
necessary to evaluate applications for loan guarantees submitted 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). Applications for
loan guarantees submitted to DOE in response to a solicitation under
Title XVII or TELGP must contain certain information. This information
will be used to analyze whether a project is eligible for a loan
guarantee and to evaluate the application under criteria specified in
the final regulations implementing Title XVII, located at 10 CFR part
609, and adopted by DOE for purposes of TELGP, with certain immaterial
modifications and omissions. 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 under Title 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 CFR part 609
(for Title XVII applications) or the applicable solicitation (for TELGP
applications); (5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 92; (6)
Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 92; (7) Annual Estimated
Number of Burden Hours: 12,190; (8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $2,490,900.
Authority: Title XVII and TELGP authorize the collection of
information.

signed on October 25, 2021, by Jigar Shah, Executive Director, Loan
Programs Office, pursuant to delegated authority from the Secretary of
Energy. That document with the original signature and date is
maintained by DOE. For administrative purposes only, and in compliance
with requirements of the Office of the Federal Register, the
undersigned DOE Federal Register Liaison Officer has been authorized to
sign and submit the document in electronic format for publication, as
an official document of the Department of Energy. This administrative
process in no way alters the legal effect of this document upon
publication in the Federal Register.
