utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the

utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways

including through the use of automated collection techniques or other

    This information collection request contains:
    (1) OMB No.: 1910-5137;
    (2) Information Collection Request Titled: Application for Loans 
under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentive Program;
    (3) Type of Review: Extension;
    (4) Purpose: The ATVM Program is implemented pursuant to Section 
136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, as amended. 42

for projects that reequip, expand, or establish manufacturing 
facilities in the United States to produce qualified advanced 
technology vehicles, qualified components, or ultra efficient vehicles; 
and for associated engineering integration costs. DOE set forth 
regulations at 10 CFR part 611 to implement the ATVM Program, and 
established application requirements. This information collection 
request covers the information necessary to evaluate those 
applications. The collected information will be used to analyze whether 
an applicant and its project is eligible for a loan under the ATVM 
Program. 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 an ATVM 
loan and to provide DOE with sufficient information to evaluate an 
applicant's project using the criteria specified in 10 CFR part 611;
    (5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 20;
    (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 20;

$674,220.
    Statutory Authority: Section 136 of the Energy Independence and 
Security Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-140), as amended (and codified at 42 
U.S.C. 17013(d)(2)).
