Changes the program from providing 'loans' to providing 'grants' throughout the section, including in the section title and all references to fund disbursement. (Page 121, lines 9, 15, 20, 23; Page 122, lines 1, 3, 11, 20, 21, 23)
Modifies the funding purpose from 'enter into one or more loans' to 'provide funds for grants for energy matching projects related to rare earth resources.' (Page 121, lines 13-17)
