In addition to risks associated with foreign ownership, control, and influence, there are also risks related to project personnel with concerning foreign connections and affiliations (e.g., Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs); technology risks (e.g., does the project involve critical and emerging technologies of concern); risk of intellectual property theft; physical threats (e.g., access to sensitive grid information that expose vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors); procurement of equipment that may have embedded surveillance technology; undisclosed project collaborations with foreign entities or individuals; and supply chain risks. </p><p>Accordingly, it is critical that DOE has appropriate tools to address these different forms of RTES risks. As it does so, DOE will strive for consistency with interagency policies, procedures, and practices to the extent practicable. </p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktemplate"> <div></div> <div class="field field--entity_reference_revisions_entity_view field--field_paragraph_reference field field--name-field-paragraph-reference field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--two-column-image-and-text paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="grid-row grid-gap"> <div class=" tablet:grid-col-4 tablet:order-first "> <p class="title-2xl force-fullwidth--tablet">DOE Principles for Evaluating RTES Risk </p> </div> <div class=" tablet:grid-col-8 tablet:order-1"> <div class="field field--text_default field--field_card_text field field--name-field-card-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>1. Onshore, Reshore, and Reassert U.S. Leadership in Manufacturing and Deployment of Critical and Emerging Energy Technologies.</strong> The United States<strong> </strong>must strengthen its competitive edge by making critical domestic investments, especially in sectors that are vital to U.S. national security and economic interests; and protecting and building the resiliency of those investments. Bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. will necessarily involve interaction with foreign entities, but doing so smartly and with eyes-wide-open will ultimately benefit the U.S. economy by developing domestic expertise and building resilient supply chains.</p><p><strong>2. Bolster Supply Chain Security. </strong>Diverse and resilient energy supply chains are imperative for U.S. national security. DOE will support projects that have the potential to build secure supply chains in partnership with our allies and to reduce our reliance on countries of concern. Until we have guaranteed access to secure supply chains, we must remain vigilant that the supply chains we depend on are not exploited by countries of concern. </p><p><strong>3. Make Risk-Based Investment Decisions. </strong>In making historic investments in clean energy, the Department must make risk-based decisions that minimize potential intellectual property loss, supply chain dependencies, and threats to national security. DOE will balance the need to address RTES with the imperative to bolster our overall competitiveness and to maintain core scientific principles of openness and collaboration.</p><p><strong>4. Protect the Taxpayer.</strong> The Department’s fundamental responsibility is to be an effective steward and protector of taxpayers’ money. It will accordingly not fund any State-Owned Enterprise of a country of concern. If the Department partners with an entity with ties to a country of concern, it will do so in a responsible manner, and only if, after careful deliberation, it is determined there is a significant net-benefit to the U.S. and the risks can be sufficiently mitigated. </p><p><strong>5. Ensure Transparency.</strong> Entities applying for DOE support must be fully forthcoming regarding foreign connections associated with individuals and entities participating in a project, particularly connections involving countries of concern. Transparency includes sharing sources of intellectual property rights, equipment, materials, property, and other support throughout the project. Likewise, DOE’s policies will incorporate transparency. </p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="layout blade-section--fullwidth blade-section--default blade-section" id="feature"> <div class="blade-color " > <div class="grid-container"> <div class="grid-row"> <div class="grid-col"> <div class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktemplate"> <div><div class="paragraph-reference-heading-wrapper paragraph-reference-heading-wrapper--"><h2 class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktemplate"> How DOE Addresses RTES Concerns </h2></div></div> <div class="field field--entity_reference_revisions_entity_view field--field_paragraph_reference field field--name-field-paragraph-reference field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-field paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="paragraph__column"> <div class="field field--text_default field--field_text field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Critical and emerging technologies are increasingly at the center of global competition, providing the foundational research and developments that underpin future industries and drive economic growth. These critical and emerging technologies—which are the focus of many DOE programs—will alter economic, political and security dynamics and directly affect national security and competitiveness. These knowledge-based industries rely on collaborations and sharing of data, research and human capital across national borders. The open exchange of scientific and technical information has long been a fundamental tenet of science and an important feature of academic and federally funded research in the United States. While this has been a strength of the United States, it creates vulnerabilities in the U.S. innovation base as some countries use these collaborations and exchanges to support the expropriation of existing know-how and talent. This often includes the acquisition of technology and technological knowhow through legal, illegal and extralegal means. DOE’s unique role, as a funder of basic research, applied research and development (R&D) and demonstration and deployment (D&D) stage, for-profit entities, and technology that impacts critical U.S. energy infrastructure, necessitates an expanded research, technology and economic security approach for the DOE portfolio. <br><br>DOE’s <strong>RTES Office</strong> is responsible for conducting due diligence reviews and risk assessments for DOE’s financial assistance and loan agreements, developing mitigation strategies, building RTES awareness within DOE, and engaging with external stakeholders on RTES matters. RTES due diligence reviews are conducted prior to DOE decisions to invest in a project or prior to new individuals or organizations being added to an existing project. DOE’s concern is protecting against the actions of certain nation states, and the Department is committed to addressing those issues without alienating or unfairly targeting our international colleagues and peers. <br><br>DOE’s <strong>RTES Policy Working Group</strong> is responsible for developing and reviewing RTES policy for financial assistance, DOE National Laboratories, acquisition, and Federal and contractor staff. In developing RTES policy, DOE coordinates with interagency partners to minimize burden to the research community and harmonize requirements with other federal funding agencies to the greatest extent practicable. </p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="layout blade-section--fullwidth blade-section--default blade-section" id="press-releases">
