Quoting are we? Hmmm, let's get down to the basics then:
"In order to be financially eligible for an ATVM loan, an applicant must be financially viable without the receipt of additional federal funding for the proposed project."

...."without the receipt of additional federal funding"....
The key word is "ADDITIONAL"!
In context, that means over and above the ATVM loan.
