any person for research and development of a substantially similar 
advanced automobile propulsion system;
    (c) Justify research and development activities on an advanced 
automobile propulsion system abandoned by any person because of a lack 
of mass production potential by presenting information showing a 
significant intervening technological advance, promising conceptual 
innovation, or other special consideration;
    (d) Provide--
    (1) An assurance that the amount of funds to be expended for 
research and development of advanced automobile propulsion systems 
during the initial annual funding period will exceed the amount of funds 
expended, if any, during the previous year for the same purpose by at 
least the amount of the grant, cooperative agreement, or contract being 
sought; and
    (2) An assurance that the level of research and development effort 
on advanced automobile propulsion systems in the initial annual funding 
period will not be decreased in future annual funding periods.
    (e) Provide to the extent possible--
    (1) An assurance that the time period for completing research and 
development of the advanced automobile propulsion is likely to be 
shorter as a result of a grant, cooperative agreement, or contract; and
    (2) The estimated delay, if any, which is likely to occur if the 
application for a grant, cooperative agreement, or contract is denied.
