(4)Purpose: This information collection package covers collection of information necessary to evaluate applications for loans submitted under Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, as amended
(EISA)(42 U.S.C. 17013). Applications for loans submitted to DOE under Section 136 of EISA must contain certain information. This information will be used to analyze whether a project is eligible for a loan and to evaluate the application under criteria specified in the interim final regulations implementing Section 136 of EISA, located at 10 CFR part 611. 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 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: 7 Applications;
(6)Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: It is estimated that the total number of annual responses will not exceed 7;
(7)Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 910 hours, most of which is likely to be time committed by firms that seek debt and/or equity financing for their projects, regardless of their intent to apply for a DOE loan;
(8)Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: It is estimated that the annual estimated reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for applicants will not exceed $26,296 per annum, per applicant. *Authority:* Section 136 of the EISA authorizes the collection of information. Signed in Washington, DC, on October 18, 2018. John Sneed, Executive Director, Department of Energy Loan Programs Office. [FR Doc. 2018-23457 Filed 10-25-18; 8:45 am]
