The Department may also publish aggregated information from statements of interest, pre-applications, and applications, but no specific statistical analyses are planned with the information collected under this information collected package. Any accepted non-binding Preliminary Memorandum of Terms or CHIPS Incentives Awards will specify additional information that the Department may further analyze or make public.
Describe the procedures for the collection of information including:
The procedures for collecting information include voluntary applicants entering data into webforms and uploading documents in a secure application portal. These procedures do not include sampling methodologies, estimation procedures, or specialized sampling procedures. There are not periodic data collection cycles because the information collection is not intended to be periodic for most respondents unless they choose to submit multiple applications.
We may publish information concerning the award of incentives throughout the review, selection, and award process. At the full application stage, we may publicly disclose information regarding the identity of the applicant and its ultimate corporate parent, the location of the proposed project(s), the status of its application (e.g. complete and pending review, approved for entry into due diligence, in due diligence, denied, or withdraw), whether a non-binding Preliminary Memorandum of Terms has been offered to the applicant, as well as basic terms thereof; disclosures of project information and environmental impacts required under Federal environmental review requirements, such as the National Environmental Policy Act (as determined by the Department), any notifications to Congress required by law, or any other disclosures required by law.
