Sec. 473.30  Standards and criteria.

    Research and development to be performed under a grant, under a 
cooperative agreement, under a contract, as a DOE project, or as an 
agency project under the Act may be certified under these regulations 
only if the research and development to be conducted--
    (a) Supplements the automotive propulsion system research and 
development efforts of industry or any other private researcher;
    (b) Is not duplicative of efforts previously abandoned by private 
researchers unless there has been an intervening technological advance, 
promising conceptual innovation, or justified by other special 
consideration;
    (c) Would not be performed during the annual funding period but for 
the availability of the Federal funding being sought;
    (d) Is likely to produce an advanced automobile propulsion system 
suitable for steps toward technology transfer to mass production in a 
shorter time period than would otherwise occur;
    (e) Is not technologically the same as efforts by any person 
conducted previously or to be conducted during the annual funding period 
regarding a substantially similar advanced automobile propulsion system; 
and
    (f) Is not likely to result in a decrease in the level of private 
resources expended on advanced automotive research and development by 
substituting Federal funds without justification.
