SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DoN
intends to move expeditiously to license
these inventions. Licensing application
packages are available from TechLink
and all applications and
commercialization plans must be
returned to TechLink by September 15,
2013. TechLink will turn over all
completed applications to the DoN for
evaluation by October 1, 2013, with
final negotiations and awards occurring
during the months of October and
November, 2013.
The DoN will consider requests for
nonexclusive and partially exclusive
licenses in the U.S., and may prefer to
grant an exclusive license outside of the
U.S. to a company both capable of broad
commercialization and the ability to
prosecute and maintain national stage
filings in most territories outside of the
U.S. The DoN intends that licensees
interested in a license in territories
outside of the U.S. will assume foreign
prosecution and pay the cost of such
prosecution.
The DoN, in its decisions concerning
the granting of licenses, will give special
consideration to existing licensee’s,
small business firms, and consortia
involving small business firms. The
DoN intends to ensure that its licensed
inventions are broadly commercialized
throughout the United States.

Since this is a competitive program, the
Department needs to collect
applications in order to determine
which eligible applicants should receive
a grant award. The Department will
make three types of awards under this
program: Scale-up Grants, Validation
Grants, and Development Grants. These
grants will provide funding to support
local educational agencies (LEAs), and
nonprofit organizations in partnership
with one or more LEAs or a consortium
of schools to apply for funding to
expand and develop innovate practices
that can serve as models of best
practices; allow eligible entities to work
in partnership with the private sector
and the philanthropic community; and
identify and document best practices
that can be shared and taken to scale
based on demonstrated success.

This
information collection request contains:
(1) Information Collection Request
Title:10 CFR Part 609—Loan Guarantees
for Projects that Employ Innovative
Technologies; (2) Type of Request:
Reinstatement (3) Purpose: This
information collection package covers
collection of information necessary to
evaluate applications for loan
guarantees submitted under Title XVII
of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 16511–16516.
Applications for loan guarantees
submitted to DOE in response to a
solicitation must contain certain
information. This information will be
used to analyze whether a project is
eligible for a loan guarantee and to
evaluate the application under criteria
specified in 10 CFR Part 609. 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
guarantee and to provide DOE with
sufficient information to evaluate an
applicant’s project using the criteria
specified in 10 CFR Part 609; (5) Annual
Estimated Number of Respondents: 100
Pre-Applications/10 Full Applications;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of Total
Responses: It is estimated that the total
number of annual responses will not
exceed 100; (7) Annual Estimated
Number of Burden Hours: 13,000 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 guarantee; (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 $25,000 per
annum.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority: Title XVII of the Energy Policy
Act of 2005 42 U.S.C. §§ 16511–16516
authorizes the collection of information.
