"We write today to support Treasury's proposed rule to expand the LICBC Program into additional clean energy technologies with a greenhouse gas emissions rate of zero or less," the letter says. "As the Administration revamps the program with additional eligible clean energy technologies, we also encourage you to design the LICBC Program application process in such a way that puts a premium on union clean energy job creation and prioritizes projects that have high labor standards, are compliant with prevailing wage standards and conform to IRA apprenticeship requirements. If finalized, this proposal has the potential to expand opportunities to build and grow clean energy economies in low-income and historically disadvantaged communities with good-paying, union jobs."
