Energy Savings Performance Contract Energy Sales Agreement; Request for Information
The Federal Energy Management Program Office (FEMP), within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), published a notice, ``Request for Comments on the Tax Treatment of an Energy Savings Performance Contract Energy Sales Agreement,'' on its Web site to gather information on specific concerns related to the Federal Investment Tax Credit eligibility of a renewable energy project structured as an Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) Energy Sales Agreement (ESA) that could benefit from clarification in the form of guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Procedural Rules for DOE Nuclear Activities
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to amend its Procedural Rules for DOE Nuclear Activities to clarify that the Department may assess civil penalties against certain contractors and subcontractors for violations of the prohibition against retaliating against an employee who reports violations of law, mismanagement, waste, abuse, or dangerous/unsafe workplace conditions, among other protected activities, concerning nuclear safety (referred to as ``whistleblowers''). Specifically, this proposed rule would clarify that the prohibition against whistleblower retaliation is a DOE Nuclear Safety Requirement to the extent that it concerns nuclear safety. The proposed rule would also explain the circumstances under which DOE would investigate alleged violations of this prohibition. The proposed rule would also delineate which DOE regulations are DOE Nuclear Safety Requirements.
