ATVM Projects 

Under the ATVM Statute, loans may, 

under applicable law, be made to 

borrowers for projects (‘‘ATVM Eligible 

Projects’’) that are: (a) Financially viable 

without the receipt of additional Federal 

funding associated with the proposed 

project; and (b) automobile 

manufacturers, ultra-efficient vehicle 

manufacturers, or component suppliers 

to pay the costs of: (1) Reequipping, 

expanding, or establishing a 

manufacturing facility in the United 

States to produce qualifying advanced 

technology vehicles (‘‘ATVs’’) or 

‘‘qualifying components’’ for ATVS; and 

(2) engineering integration performed in 

the United States of ATVs and 

qualifying components. 

Under the applicable provisions of the 

ATVM statute, DOE must limit its 

relevant support to ‘‘manufacturing 

facilities’’ producing ATVs and 

‘‘qualifying components’’—which are 

defined as products or equipment 

designed for, and installed in, ATVs for 

the purpose of meeting ATV 

performance requirements. 

Examples of Potential Minerals Projects 

Under the ATVM Statute 

Minerals or Minerals Production 

projects that may qualify for support 

under the ATVM Statute include, 

without limitation, the following: 

1. Processing of Critical Minerals, 

including lithium, nickel, manganese, 

graphite, or cobalt, for use in electric 

vehicle battery systems for ATVs; 

2. Processing or refining of aluminum, 

chromium, manganese, vanadium, or tin 

used for the light-weighting of ATVs; 

3. Processing or refining of platinum 

group metals (‘‘PGMs’’), and the PGM 

catalysts from which they are derived, 

for use in hydrogen fuel cells and fuel 

cell electric vehicles that are ATVs; and 

4. Processing of Critical Minerals (to 

include neodymium, praseodymium, 

dysprosium, and terbium), for use in 

permanent magnets and permanent 

magnet electric motors for application 

in electric drive motors for qualifying 

ATVs; and 

5. Other Critical Minerals projects that 

meet the criteria of the ATVM statute. 

Early Discussion With LPO Regarding 

Potential Projects Is Encouraged 

It is the preference of LPO to become 

involved with potential applicants as 

early as possible in the development of 

Title XVII and ATVM Eligible Projects. 

Therefore, potential applicants are 

encouraged to contact LPO before 

making a formal application, and as 

early as possible in the development of 

a potential project. The foregoing does 

not change or modify that current 

application process. LPO will respond 

in writing to any inquiry from the 

applicant regarding the status of an 

application within ten (10) business 

days after the date of such inquiry. 

Potential applicants may inquire with 

LPO about opportunities for emerging 

areas involving Critical Minerals and 

other minerals by contacting LPO. For 

further information on the application 

process for either program, please see: 

https://www.energy.gov/lpo/loanprograms-office. 

Preference for American Made 

Products 

A preference will be given to those 

projects with a plan to utilize American 

made products and employ American 

workers. 

Early Engagement With LPO 

Potential applicants may inquire with 

LPO about opportunities for emerging

Commission 

[Docket No. RM98–1–000] 

Records Governing Off-the-Record 

Communications; Public Notice 

This constitutes notice, in accordance 

with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt 

of prohibited and exempt off-the-record 

communications. 

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, 

September 22, 1999) requires 

Commission decisional employees, who 

make or receive a prohibited or exempt 

off-the-record communication relevant 

to the merits of a contested proceeding, 

to deliver to the Secretary of the 

Commission, a copy of the 

communication, if written, or a 

summary of the substance of any oral 

communication. 

Prohibited communications are 

included in a public, non-decisional file 

associated with, but not a part of, the 

decisional record of the proceeding. 

Unless the Commission determines that 

the prohibited communication and any 

responses thereto should become a part 

of the decisional record, the prohibited 

off-the-record communication will not 

be considered by the Commission in 

reaching its decision. Parties to a 

proceeding may seek the opportunity to 

respond to any facts or contentions 

made in a prohibited off-the-record 

communication and may request that 

the Commission place the prohibited 

communication and responses thereto 

in the decisional record. The 

Commission will grant such a request 

only when it determines that fairness so 

requires. Any person identified below as 

having made a prohibited off-the-record 

communication shall serve the 

document on all parties listed on the 

official service list for the applicable 

proceeding in accordance with Rule 

2010, 18 CFR 385.2010. 

Exempt off-the-record 

communications are included in the 

decisional record of the proceeding, 

unless the communication was with a 

cooperating agency as described by 40 

CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR 

385.2201(e)(1)(v). 

The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently 

received by the Secretary of the 

Commission. The communications 

listed are grouped by docket numbers in 

ascending order. These filings are 

available for electronic review at the
