SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This information collection request 
contains: (1) OMB No.: 1910-5134; (2) Information Collection Request 
Title: DOE Loan Guarantees for Energy Projects; (3) Type of Request:

collection of information necessary to evaluate applications for loan

2602(c) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, as amended (TELGP), 25 U.S.C. 
3502(c). Applications for loan guarantees submitted to DOE in response 
to a solicitation under Title XVII or TELGP must contain certain

eligibility requirements to qualify for a DOE loan guarantee under 
Title XVII or TELGP, as the case may be, and to provide DOE with 
sufficient information to evaluate an applicant's project using the 
criteria specified in 10 CFR part 609 (for Title XVII applications) or 
the applicable solicitation (for TELGP applications); (5) Annual 
Estimated Number of Respondents: 92; (6) Annual Estimated Number of 
Total Responses: 92; (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours:
