the agency; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.

DATES: Comments regarding this proposed information collection must be 
received on or before October 15, 2018. If you anticipate difficulty in

as amended (EISA) (42 U.S.C. 17013). Applications for loans submitted 
to DOE under Section 136 of EISA must contain certain information. This 
information will be used to analyze whether a project is eligible for a 
loan and to evaluate the application under criteria specified in the 
interim final regulations implementing Section 136 of EISA, located at 
10 CFR part 611. 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 and to provide DOE with sufficient information to evaluate an 
applicant's project using the criteria specified in 10 CFR part 611;

Estimated Number of Total Responses: It is estimated that the total 
number of annual responses will not exceed 7; (7) Annual Estimated

projects, regardless of their intent to apply for a DOE loan; (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 $26,296 per annum, per applicant.
    Authority: Section 136 of the EISA authorizes the collection of 
information.
