SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction
In FR Doc. 2023-06376 of March 31, 2023 (88 FR 19239), on page 19240, in column 3, under Section A.3, the second paragraph that starts with "For the purpose of this Notice," is being replaced with:
For the purpose of this Notice only, underutilized renewable energy technologies (underutilized technologies) are defined as those technologies which make up less than 20 percent of the total grant dollars obligated at the end of the fiscal year, two (2) fiscal years prior to the current year. No single technology may receive more than 50 percent of the total funding available in each fiscal year, excepting years in which all underutilized technology applications have been processed, and applications remain unfunded with funding still available in the set-aside." For example, FY 2021 award data will be utilized to determine which technologies are underutilized technologies for the FY 2023 competition.
