Sec. 600.30  Cost sharing.

    In addition to the requirements of Sec. 600.123 or Sec. 600.224, the 
following requirements apply to research, development, and demonstration 
projects:
    (a) When DOE awards financial assistance for research, development, 
and demonstration projects where the primary purpose of the project is 
the ultimate commercialization and utilization of technology by the 
private sector and when there are reasonable expectations that the 
recipient will receive significant present or future economic benefits 
beyond the instant award as a result of the performance of the project, 
cost sharing shall be required. Unless the cost sharing is required by 
statute, a waiver of the requirement on a single-case or class basis may 
be approved by the cognizant Program Assistant Secretary or designee.
    (b) Except as provided in section 3002 of the Energy Policy Act of 
1992, 42 U.S.C. 13542, or program rule, DOE will decide, on a case-by-
case basis, the amount of cost sharing required for a particular 
project.
    (c) Factors in addition to those specified in Sec. 600.123 or 
Sec. 600.224, which may be considered when negotiating cost sharing for 
research, development, and demonstration projects include the potential 
benefits to a recipient resulting from the project and the length of 
time before a project is likely to be commercially successful.
