OMB Control Number: 1850–0930. Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 306. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,938. Abstract: The School-Level Finance Survey (SLFS) data collection is conducted annually by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED). SLFS complements two existing data collections conducted by NCES in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau (Census): The School District Finance Survey (F–33) and the state-level National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS). SLFS expands F–33 to include its finance variables at the school level. Beginning with FY18, the SEAs will report total current expenditures at the school level in the same manner as for the district level on F–33. This request is to conduct in 2019 through 2021 SLFS for fiscal years 2018 through 2020 (corresponding to school years 2017/18 through 2019/ 20) and to expand the collected data to be analogous to the current ESSA expenditures per pupil provision.

Proposed Agency Information Collection Extension

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, intends to extend for three years an information 
collection request with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). 
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the extended collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
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 
submitting comments within that period, contact the person listed in 
ADDRESSES as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be sent to Andrea Lachenmayr, U.S. 
Department of Energy, LPO-70, Room 4B-170, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, 
Washington, DC 20585 or by email to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the information collection instrument and instructions should

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: 
Extension (4) Purpose: This information collection package covers 
collection of information necessary to evaluate applications for loan 
guarantees submitted under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, 
as amended, 16516 (Title XVII), 42 U.S.C. 16511, and under Section 
2602(c) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, as amended (TELGP), 25 U.S.C. 
3502(c). Because the information collection package pertains to 
applications for loan guarantees under both Title XVII and TELGP (the 
latter of which does not require innovative technology), the 
Information Collection Request Title is being changed from its original 
title, ``10 CFR part 609--Loan Guarantees for Projects that Employ 
Innovative Technologies'' to its new title, ``DOE Loan Guarantees for 
Energy Projects.'' This title is more descriptive of the purpose of the 
Information Collection Request. Applications for loan guarantees 
submitted to DOE in response to a solicitation under Title XVII or 
TELGP must contain certain information. This information will be used 
to analyze whether a project is eligible for a loan guarantee and to 
evaluate the application under criteria specified in the final 
regulations implementing Title XVII, located at 10 CFR part 609, and 
adopted by DOE for purposes of TELGP, with certain

immaterial modifications and omissions. 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 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: 20 Applications; (6) Annual Estimated Number of 
Total Responses: It is estimated that the total number of annual 
responses will not exceed 20; (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden 
Hours: 2,650 hours, most of which is likely to be time committed by 
firms that seek debt and/or equity financing for their projects, 
regardless of their intent to apply for a DOE loan guarantee; (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: Title XVII and TELGP authorize the collection of 
information.
