SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction

    In FR Doc. 2023-06376 of March 31, 2023 (88 FR 19239), on page 
19240, in column 3, under Section A.3, the second paragraph that starts 
with ``For the purpose of this Notice,'' is being replaced with:

    For the purpose of this Notice only, underutilized renewable 
energy technologies (underutilized technologies) are defined as 
those technologies which make up less than 20 percent of the total 
grant dollars obligated at the end of the fiscal year, two (2) 
fiscal years prior to the current year. No single technology may 
receive more than 50 percent of the total funding available in each 
fiscal year, excepting years in which all underutilized technology 
applications have been processed, and applications remain unfunded 
with funding still available in the set-aside.'' For example, FY 
2021 award data will be utilized to determine which technologies are 
underutilized technologies for the FY 2023 competition.
