Department of Energy seeks
applications for loans authorized under section 136 of the Energy
Independence and Security Act of 2007, Public Law 110-140. Under
the proposed information collection, applicants must file an
application for review by DOE to determine eligibility and other
issues. If the information provided in the application meets the
suggested requirements of the Guidelines, DOE may grant the
applicant's loan request.
Section 136 of EISA
requires DOE to act with extreme expedition in the establishment
and implementation of the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing
Incentive Program. Also, Congress mandated that this interim final
rule be promulgated no later than 60 days after enactment of the
Continuing Resolution 2009. Further, DOE is cognizant of the
current extraordinary and adverse credit market conditions and
believes it would be contrary to the public interest to delay the
effective date of regulations implementing a program that may help
respond to those conditions.
