National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program
14 CFR Part 1259 establishes policies and procedures for the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program authorized by the NASA Authorization Act of 1988. It defines the program's scope, designates Space Grant colleges and regional consortiums, establishes a graduate fellowship program in space-related fields, and creates a Space Grant Review Panel to advise NASA's Administrator on program execution.
Appropriate Technology Small Grants Program
10 CFR Part 470 establishes the Appropriate Technology Small Grants Program under the Energy Research and Development Administration Appropriation Authorization Act of 1977. The regulation defines program terms and eligible entities, including small businesses, local governments, state agencies, tribal organizations, and nonprofit institutions. The program provides financial support through grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts to advance appropriate technology development.
Recapture of Civil Nuclear Credits
This regulation establishes procedures for the Department of Energy to recapture civil nuclear credits awarded to nuclear reactor owners/operators under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Credits are subject to recapture if a reactor terminates operations during the award period, or if the reactor would not have operated at an annual loss without the credits at the conclusion of the four-year award period. The Department must provide written notice before recapture and allow owners/operators to request reconsideration within 30 days.
Production Incentives for Cellulosic Biofuels
This regulation establishes the Department of Energy's reverse auction process for awarding production incentive payments to eligible producers of cellulosic biofuels under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Eligible facilities must be located in the US, meet federal and state permitting requirements, employ demonstrated refining technology, and produce at least 10 million gallons annually. Applicants must submit pre-auction eligibility documentation including implementation plans, financial statements, and financing sources to compete in the bidding process.
State Energy Program
This regulation establishes the State Energy Program under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, providing federal financial and technical assistance to states to promote energy conservation, reduce energy demand growth, and decrease dependence on imported oil. The program supports comprehensive state energy initiatives including building energy efficiency standards, alternative transportation fuels, and energy audit measures.
Weatherization Assistance for Low-Income Persons
10 CFR Part 440 establishes a federal weatherization assistance program providing grants to improve energy efficiency of low-income households, with particular focus on vulnerable populations (elderly, disabled, high-burden families). It sets administrative requirements for states, tribes, and subgrantees regarding grant compliance, intergovernmental coordination, and FOIA-compliant treatment of applicant and recipient information, with provisions balancing privacy protections against public interest disclosure.
Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturer Assistance Program
The Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturer Assistance Program (10 CFR Part 611) establishes DOE loan assistance for manufacturing facilities producing advanced technology vehicles and qualifying components. Eligible projects include reequipping or establishing U.S. manufacturing facilities, engineering integration work, and critical minerals processing for vehicle supply chains. The program, authorized under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and expanded by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, provides federal loans through the Federal Financing Bank to support domestic production of fuel-efficient and advanced technology vehicles.
Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Research, Development, and Demonstration Program; Petroleum-Equivalent Fuel Economy Calculation
This regulation establishes the methodology for calculating petroleum-equivalent fuel economy values for electric vehicles, required under 49 U.S.C. 32904(a)(2). The calculation uses combined energy consumption data from EPA-standardized urban and highway driving cycles (weighted 55/45 percent), dividing a petroleum-equivalency factor (12,307 Watt-hours per gallon, adjusted if petroleum-powered accessories are present) by the combined energy consumption value to produce miles-per-gallon equivalents for corporate average fuel economy reporting.
Automotive Propulsion Research and Development
Part 473 establishes procedures for reviewing and certifying grants, cooperative agreements, contracts, and projects funded under the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1978 for automotive propulsion research and development. The regulations define applicants, projects, and solicitation requirements for advancing technology in automobile propulsion systems, excluding subcontractors and pre-existing agreements.
Loan Guarantees for Clean Energy Projects
10 CFR Part 609 establishes DOE policies and procedures for receiving, evaluating, and approving loan guarantee applications under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The regulation defines key terms and conditions for supporting Eligible Projects through loan guarantees, including definitions of applicants, borrowers, eligible lenders, and administrative costs incurred during application evaluation, negotiation, and ongoing monitoring of loan guarantee agreements.
Alternative Fuel Transportation Program
10 CFR Part 490 implements the Alternative Fuel Transportation Program under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, establishing requirements and definitions for State government and alternative fuel provider fleets. The regulation defines alternative fuels (methanol, ethanol, natural gas, biodiesel, hydrogen, electricity, etc.), alternative-fueled vehicles, and operational requirements for centrally-fueled vehicle fleets, setting the framework for federal fleet compliance with alternative fuel acquisition mandates.
Federal Energy Management and Planning Programs
This regulation establishes federal energy management and planning programs requiring federal agencies to reduce energy consumption in federal buildings by at least 10% per gross square foot by 1995 compared to 1985 baseline. It sets methodology for life cycle cost analyses of building energy systems, water systems, and conservation measures; promotes energy savings performance contracts for private investment in facility retrofits; and requires efficiency considerations in federal building leases.
Materials Allocation and Priority Performance Under Contracts or Orders to Maximize Domestic Energy Supplies
10 CFR Part 216 establishes procedures for the Department of Energy to allocate materials, equipment, services, and facilities or grant priority performance under contracts to maximize domestic energy supplies under the Defense Production Act. DOE determines whether programs maximize domestic energy supplies and whether supplies are critical and essential for exploration, production, refining, transportation, conservation, or facility construction/maintenance, then communicates findings to the Department of Commerce for final determination on scarcity and necessity before granting Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) priority ratings.
