Sec. 455.110  Grant application submittals for technical assistance and 
energy conservation measures.


    (a) Each eligible applicant desiring to receive financial assistance 
(either from DOE directly, through a State serving as a coordinating 
agency, or through another organization serving as a coordinating 
agency) shall file an application in accordance with the provisions of 
this subpart and the approved State Plan of the State in which such 
building is located. The application, which may be amended in accordance 
with applicable State procedures at any time prior to the State's final 
determination thereon, shall be filed with the State energy agency 
designated in the State Plan. Coordinating agencies shall file a single 
application with DOE which includes all of the information required 
below for each building for which assistance has been requested and to 
which is attached a copy of each application from each building owner.
    (b) Applications from schools, hospitals, units of local government, 
public care institutions, and coordinating agencies for financial 
assistance for technical assistance programs shall include the 
certifications contained in Sec. 455.111 and:
    (1) The applicant's name and mailing address;
    (2) The energy audit or energy use evaluation required by the State 
pursuant to Sec. 455.20(k) for each building for which financial 
assistance is requested;
    (3) A project budget, by building, which stipulates the intended use 
of all Federal and non-Federal funds, including in-kind contributions 
(valued in accordance with the guidelines in 10 CFR part 600), to be 
used to meet the cost-sharing requirements described in subpart I of 
this part;
    (4) A brief description, by building, of the proposed technical 
assistance program, including a schedule, with appropriate milestone 
dates, for completing the technical assistance program;
    (5) Additional information required by the applicable State Plan and 
any other information which the applicant desires to have considered, 
such as information to support an application from a school or hospital 
for financial assistance in excess of the 50 percent Federal share on 
the basis of severe hardship or an application which proposes the use of 
Federal funds, paid under and authorized by another Federal agreement to 
meet cost sharing requirements.
    (c) Applications from schools and hospitals and coordinating 
agencies for financial assistance for energy conservation measures, 
including renewable resource measures, shall include the certifications 
contained in Sec. 455.111 and:
    (1) The applicant's name and mailing address;
    (2) A description of each building for which financial assistance is 
requested sufficient to determine the building's eligibility, ownership, 
use, and size in gross square feet;
    (3) A project budget, by measure or building, as provided in the 
State Plan which stipulates the intended use of all Federal and non-
Federal funds and identifies the sources and amounts of non-Federal 
funds, including in-kind contributions (valued in accordance with the 
guidelines in 10 CFR part 600) to be used to meet the cost-sharing 
requirements described in subpart I of this part;
    (4) A schedule, including appropriate milestone dates, for the 
completion of the design, acquisition, and installation of the proposed 
energy conservation measures for each building;
    (5) For each energy conservation measure proposed for funding, the 
projected cost, the projected simple payback period, and if appropriate, 
the life-cycle cost savings-to-investment ratio calculated under Sec. 
455.64. Applications with more than one energy conservation measure per 
building shall include projected costs and paybacks,

[[Page 491]]

and if appropriate, the savings-to-investment ratios for each measure 
and the average simple payback period or overall savings-to-investment 
ratio for all measures proposed for the building;
    (6) The report of the technical assistance analyst (unless waived by 
DOE because the report is already in its possession). This report must 
have been completed since the most recent construction, reconfiguration, 
or utilization change to the building which significantly modified 
energy use, for each building;
    (7) An update of the technical assistance program report if required 
by the State in its State Plan and as specified in Sec. 455.20(q);
    (8) If the applicant is aware of any adverse environmental impact 
which may arise from adoption of any energy conservation measure, an 
analysis of that impact and the applicant's plan to minimize or avoid 
such impact; and
    (9) Additional information required by the applicable State Plan, 
and any additional information which the applicant desires to have 
considered, such as information to support an application for financial 
assistance in excess of the non-Federal share set forth in the State 
plan on the basis of severe hardship, or an application which proposes 
the use of Federal funds paid under and authorized by another Federal 
agreement to meet cost sharing requirements.
