["DE-FOA-0002826 - Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) Pilot Demonstrations"]
["Question #","Date Submitted","Topic","Question","Answer"]
[1,"2024-07-02","Data Management","I have a question regardinging data confidentiality for data collected under a GTO award for the current BIL EGS FOA. Is data collected under the award protected from public disclosure for a short period of time before it's made public? This is the case for data award under the CarbonSAFE program, for instance where data is protected for 2 years before it's made public.","The data collected under this award is allowed to be marked as ‘protected’ and this prevents the data from being publicly disclosed for up to 5 years."]
[2,"2024-08-02","Other","Can the budget narrative include the costs incurred by the prime and subrecipients based on the commercial rate for a “commercial product” as defined by FAR 2.101?","Please see the DOE Grants and Agreements Regulations, 2 CFR Part 200 as amended by 2 CFR Part 910 at http://www.eCFR.gov for information regarding supplies and equipment, “commercial product”.  It may be helpful to visit the definitions as outlined in §200.1 Definitions and §200.439 Equipment and other capital expenditures.  The regulatory reference in the original question is under the Federal Acquisition Regulations. "]
[3,"2024-08-16","Eligibility","We understand that the deadline for the Letter of Intent submission has passed. However, if we can get together a Letter of Intent by [Date] and submit by email, could we still be eligible to apply for a full application?","Please refer to Section IV.C  Content and Form of the Letter of Intent which states that “Applicants must submit a Letter of Intent by the specified due date and time to be eligible to submit a Full Application.”.  Please also refer to Section III.C  Compliance Criteria which states that “…DOE will not review or consider submissions submitted through means other than EERE eXCHANGE, submissions submitted after the applicable deadline, or incomplete submissions.” "]
[4,"2024-09-18","Application Content/Format","In reference to FOA DE-FOA-0002826 will you please confirm if a Table of Contents is required?  Also, I’m inquiring if there is a standard template for the Technical Volume section of the proposal.","Refer to the FOA, Section IV D: Content and Form of the Full Application.  While there is no prescribed template for the Technical Volume, Subsection ii. Technical Volume includes details on requirements and limitations for the submission."]
[5,"2024-09-19","Cost Sharing","If a project is taking place on subrecipient land (which the subrecipient owns) and the project team (applicant, subrecipient, and other partners) is looking to use the land's value (as it is a critical part of the project completion), how should that be documented and shown as a cost-share? We understand it could not be listed as in-kind as the subrecipient is not donating the land to the prime applicant.","Please refer to Section III.B Cost Sharing for information on Cost Sharing eligibility requirements. Also, see Section IV.I.i Allowable Costs, where it refers to the Code of Federal Regulations for further details. In association with questions on land refer to Section IV.D.xxii Geothermal Drilling Permit and Geothermal Leasehold/Legal Rights Documentation."]
[6,"2024-09-19","Application Content/Format","We are encountering a deviation between the EERE eXCHANGE proposal space and the solicitation. The solicitation calls for the following documents to be submitted: Impacted Indian Tribe, Community Partnership, Transparency of Foreign Connections, Potentially Duplicative Funding Notice, Locations of Work. However, in the proposal space generated in EERE eXCHANGE, there are no upload sections for these documents to be uploaded. Can you please suggest how to proceed with submission?

Something else?","For applicants posting files for: Impacted Indian Tribe, Community Partnership, Transparency of Foreign Connections, Potentially Duplicative Funding Notice, Locations of Work, use the optional files field to upload the documentation to eXCHANGE."]
