This notice announces the Department of Energy's (DOE's) decision, pursuant to 10 CFR 1021.343(c), that it is in the interest of public welfare to grant a variance from certain requirements of its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) in regard to the review of applications under the Electric Drive Vehicle Battery and Component Manufacturing Initiative funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). The variance is limited to certain requirements identified in 10 CFR 1021.216, Procurement, Financial Assistance, and Joint Ventures. The variance in no way affects the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement for any application selected for funding. The merit review of applications in response to this funding opportunity will include consideration of the potentially significant environmental impacts of the projects proposed for funding that are within the competitive range. By providing this variance, DOE can reduce the time needed to select applications for possible future funding consistent with the sense of urgency underpinning the Recovery Act.
