All payments will be made based upon the terms and conditions provided in the prior NOFA, which authorized $20 million for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009. This notice announces the availability of the remaining FY 2009 funds that were not requested under the previous NOFA.

VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:18 Mar 11, 2010 Jkt 220001 On June 12, 2009, RBS published a Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) and Solicitation of Applications in the Federal Register announcing general policy and application procedures for the Repowering Assistance Program. Not all this funding was used and the remaining FY 2009 funding is available to make payments to eligible biorefineries to encourage the use of renewable biomass as a replacement fuel source for fossil fuels used to provide process heat or power in the operation of these eligible biorefineries. This Notice is for a one-time application window for remaining FY 2009 funds. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Paperwork Reduction Act In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the paperwork burden associated with this Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB Control Number 0570–0058. The PRA burden associated with the original FY 2009 Notice was approved by OMB under emergency conditions, with an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the program, and was intended to be a one-time approval. Since the emergency approval of the original FY 2009 Notice for this program, the Agency has resubmitted the PRA package to OMB and received regular approval. Applications and accompanying materials required under this Notice will be covered under the regular PRA package. Since the publication of the FY 2009 Notice, the Agency has not received a sufficient number of qualified applications to allocate all of the FY 2009 authorized funds. Therefore, the Agency is opening a new application window to accept additional applications for the remaining FY 2009 funds for this program. Biorefineries seeking funding under this program have to submit applications that include specified information, certifications, and agreements. Forms specific to the Repowering Assistance Program approved under OMB Control Number 0570–0058 are: (1) Form RD 9004–1, ‘‘Repowering Assistance Program Application,’’ and (2) Form RD 9004–2, ‘‘Repowering Assistance Program Agreement.’’ All of the forms, information, certifications, and agreements required to apply for this program under this Notice have been authorized under the emergency request and approved under OMB Control Number 0570–0058.
