B. Issues on Which DOE Seeks 

Information 

For this RFI, DOE requests comments, 

information, and recommendations on 

the following concepts for the purpose 

of the continued use of evergreen funds 

by SEP and EECBG grantees. As set forth 

below, we seek comment on DOE’s 

requirements for (1) Types of Evergreen 

Funds; (2) Ending an Evergreen Fund 

After The End of the Grant Period; (3) 

Monitoring; and (4) Reporting. The 

sequence of these questions does not 

reflect any specific DOE preference. 

(1) Types of Evergreen Funds 

a. Under existing Department rules, 

evergreen funds such as RLFs and LLRs 

are eligible uses of funds under the SEP 

and EECBG Programs to the extent that 

the activities supported by the loans are 

eligible activities under the program. 

DOE would like to continue to promote 

the use of these types of evergreen 

funds. Which types of evergreen funds 

are being used by grantees and 

subgrantees in both programs? What are 

the costs and benefits of using these 

types of evergreen funds? 

b. Currently, the SEP and EECBG 

regulations allow a grantee to elect to 

use a third party to administer evergreen 

funds. What recourse should be 

available for a grantee if a third party 

fails to follow through on properly 

administering the financing 

mechanism? Should that recourse be 

available if the third party fails just once 

to properly administer a financing 

mechanism? Should DOE disallow a 

third party with a history of poor 

performance from acting as a third party 

representative? 

(2) Ending an Evergreen Fund After the 

End of the Grant Period 

Currently, the SEP and EECBG 

programs allow grantees to end or 

reduce funding for a RLF program, LLR, 

or other eligible financing program at 

any time as long as any remaining funds 

are used by the grantee for an eligible 

purpose after submitting and finalizing 

an amendment through the DOE Project 

Officer. Alternatively, the funds may be 

returned to DOE. 

(3) Periodic Reporting 

a. DOE is considering periodic 

reporting by grantees that operate 

evergreen funds that continue beyond 

the grant period specified in the 

Recovery Act grant awards. This 

reporting would be separate from 

reporting requirements for annual 

appropriated funds in both programs. 

DOE seeks comment on whether DOE 

periodic reporting according to 

specified conditions and criteria. 

b. With regard to such periodic 

reporting, the Department seeks 

comment on the following conditions 

and criteria: 

Information Flow 

(i) Should reporting occur more 

frequently than on an annual basis? 

(ii) DOE requests comment on the 

types of information that grantees can 

provide on evergreen funds, for example 

how many loans were issued in the 

period, what types of loans, the dollar 

amount of loans, what projects were 

completed, what loans were paid back. 

(iii) DOE requests comment on when 

information on a loan that is defaulted 

upon can be provided to DOE and what 

other information grantees can provide 

in this situation. 

Cost 

(i) DOE requests comments regarding 

the cost burden placed on grantees for 

the above described reporting. Please 

provide a detailed description of the 

anticipated costs and supporting 

information. 

(4) Monitoring 

a. DOE is considering periodic 

monitoring that would be applicable to 

all evergreen funds that continue 

beyond the grant period specified in the 

Recovery Act grant awards. This 

requirement would be separate from 

monitoring requirements for annual 

appropriated funds in both programs. 

DOE seeks comment on whether 

grantees should conduct periodic 

monitoring according to specified 

conditions and criteria. 

b. With regard to such periodic 

monitoring, the Department seeks 

comment on the following conditions 

and criteria: 

Information Flow 

(i) Should monitoring occur on more 

than an annual basis? 

(ii) DOE requests comment on the 

types of information that grantees can 

provide on evergreen funds, for example 

how many loans were issued in the 

period, what types of loans, the dollar 

amount of loans, what projects were 

completed, what loans were paid back. 

(iii) DOE requests comment on when 

information on a loan that is defaulted 

upon can be provided to DOE and what 

other information grantees can provide 

in this situation. 

(iv) Should monitoring be performed 

by an independent third party, in 

addition to DOE monitoring? 

Cost 

(i) DOE requests comments regarding 

the anticipated cost burden placed on 

grantees for the above described 

monitoring. Please provide a detailed 

description of the costs and supporting 

information.
