A memo issued by former Under Secretary for Infrastructure David Crane addressed the imperative to mobilize private sector investment and stresses the importance of community benefits commitments in DOE-funded projects. This memo includes topics like tangible property interest, non-federal cost share, community benefits commitments, and more.
To discuss these key issues that often arise during the negotiations of awards for large capital projects administered by the Office of Infrastructure, a webinar was held for private and public sector stakeholders. Watch it here.
To further help clarify these key issues, the office will be publishing user’s guides on the most commonly asked questions. The first in this series is “User’s Guide to DOE’s Property Interest in DOE Financial Assistance Awards.” This document is a Q&A reference guide to highlight the most commonly asked questions related to DOE’s interest in real property and equipment in DOE financial assistance awards. The document aims to provide high-level clarity for the public, including recipients, subrecipients, and their legal representatives and lenders on DOE’s Award Property interest. Read the full guide.
