SUMMARY: Provides information and guidance regarding the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) implementation of Presidential Memorandum – Simplifying the Funding of Energy Infrastructure and Critical Mineral and Material Projects.
Attached for your information is guidance and 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 guidance 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 policy flash.
Questions concerning this policy flash should be directed to the Contract and Financial Assistance Policy Division at DOE_OAPMPolicy@hq.doe.gov.
