SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) submitted an information

facilities who apply annually for Renewable Energy Production Incentive

producing the requisite amount of net electricity. The information 
gathered by the ICR ensures that the government has sufficient 
information to determine whether public funds are being properly used 
for these incentive payments.

information concerning annual applications from the owners of qualified 
renewable energy generation facilities must be received on or before

allowed by this notice, please advise the OMB Desk Officer of your 
intention to make a submission as soon as possible. The Desk Officer
