Today's final rule includes changes in response to comments received on the notice of proposed rulemaking published June 19, 2007. Most notably, today's final rule does not establish a reporting requirement, as initially proposed, for federal agencies under procurement requirement of NECPA.

Section 136 also provides that grants and loans may cover engineering integration costs associated with such projects. The program established by section 136 is referred to as the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentive Program. This notice announces that DOE has determined to change the previously announced process for submission of applications for a loan under section 136.
