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.

(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

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. 

Authority: Title XVII of the Energy Policy 

Act of 2005 42 U.S.C. §§ 16511–16516 

authorizes the collection of information.
