SUMMARY: The Loan Programs Office (``LPO'') of the Department of Energy
(``DOE'') is seeking public input to inform its implementation of the
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provisions relating to the Advanced
Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program (the ``ATVM Program'').
On May 29, 2024, DOE published an RFI on these subjects. The RFI
provided an opportunity for submitting written comments, data, and
information no later than June 28, 2024. DOE received requests for an
extension of the public comment period for an additional two weeks. DOE
has reviewed these requests and is reopening the public comment period
for 14 days to allow comments to be submitted.
DATES: The comment period for the RFI published on May 29, 2024 (89 FR
46378), which closed on June 28, 2024, is reopened. DOE will accept
comments, data, and information regarding the RFI received no later
than July 22, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 29, 2024, DOE published an RFI
initiating a review to consider whether and how to amend DOE's ATVM
Program regulations at 10 CFR part 611. 89 FR 46378. In the RFI, DOE
identified certain programmatic and procedural issues on which it is
interested in receiving comment. These issues include implementation of
new categories of advanced technology vehicles and incorporation of
community jobs and justice goals in the ATVM Program application
process. The RFI set a comment period deadline of June 28, 2024.
Certain interested parties requested a two-week extension of the
public comment period to respond appropriately to the RFI with
considered comments regarding future implementation and administration
of the ATVM Program. DOE anticipates that reopening the public comment
period will enable additional stakeholders to submit valuable comments
in response to the RFI.
DOE has determined that reopening the public comment period is
appropriate to allow interested parties additional time to submit
comments for DOE's consideration. Thus, DOE is reopening the comment
period for 14 days.
