Financial Assistance Letter
What is the purpose of this FAL?
The purpose of this FAL is to provide information and guidance regarding the
Department of Energy’s (DOE or Department) implementation of sharing information, to the extent permissible by law, with executive departments and agencies regarding funding energy infrastructure and critical mineral and material projects subject to the Presidential Memorandum, “Simplifying the Funding of Energy Infrastructure and Critical Mineral and Material Projects,” dated June 30, 2025. This FAL does not address the requirement in the Presidential Memorandum to develop a common application for Federal funding opportunities related to energy infrastructure or critical mineral or material-related projects that enables applicants to apply simultaneously to multiple Federal Government funding programs using one common application. This requirement will be handled in a separate FAL.
