(3) Modeled off Diesel Emissions Reduction Act To the extent practicable, the Administrator shall administer the program in a manner similar to the national grant program of the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under subtitle G of title VII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ( 42 U.S.C. 16131 et seq. ). (4) Eligible entities An entity eligible for an award under the program is an owner of a Jones Act vessel that currently uses marine fuel oil for propulsion power. (5) Selection (A) Application An eligible entity seeking an award under the program shall submit to the Administrator an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Administrator may require, which shall include a certification that an award under the program will be used, as applicable— (i) to purchase, or enter into a contract for the construction of, a vessel that exclusively uses a battery or low-carbon fuels for all propulsion power; or (ii) to retrofit an existing Jones Act vessel that uses marine fuel oil for propulsion power into a vessel that is propelled using batteries or low-carbon fuels. (B) Priority In selecting the recipients of awards under the program, the Administrator shall give priority to entities the replacement of whose vessels with vessels that use batteries or low-carbon fuels for all propulsion power would— (i) maximize the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; (ii) maximize the public health benefits from the reduction of criteria air pollutants; (iii) maximize water quality in ports and other bodies of water; (iv) maximize public health and environmental benefits from every dollar spent under the program
