Protecting Your Privacy

When you visit the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) eXCHANGE site to submit your proposal, you will be providing information to the DOE, acting on behalf of the Department of Treasury’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a tax administration purpose. Applications, communications between the DOE and applicants, and other records created while determining allocations and credits are confidential return information of the taxpayer maintained by the IRS. The DOE will protect your privacy in accordance with the IRS’s tax information protection standards under Internal Revenue Code Section 6103 and other federal laws and regulations. For more guidance on the way the DOE protects your information, please review the DOE’s privacy policy at www.energy.gov/privacy; for more guidance on how IRS protects taxpayer information and your privacy, please review the IRS’s privacy policies at www.irs.gov/privacy.

If you have any technical problems with eXCHANGE, please send an email to InfrastructureExchangeSupport@hq.doe.gov with the FOA name and number in the subject line.
