DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Chicago Operations Office; Financial Assistance Award; Purdue 
Research Foundation

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy.

ACTION: Intent to award based on an unsolicited application.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy announces that pursuant to the 
provisions of 10 CFR 600.14, it intends to renew Grant No. DE-FG02-
85CE40772 based on an unsolicited application received from Purdue 
Research Foundation for research and development in the Production of 
Higher Value Chemicals from Food Process Wastes Using a Novel 
Fermentor-Separator. The determination to renew this grant is based on 
the following information: A technical evaluation of the proposed 
project was performed pursuant to 10 CFR 600.14 (d) and (e). It is 
determined that the proposed project is meritorious based on the fact 
that it will provide value to all food processing companies with 
similar product waste streams. The probability of achieving the 
anticipated objectives are extremely high. The facilities and 
qualifications of the key personnel are appropriate. DOE knows of no 
other entity which is conducting or planning to conduct such an effort. 
This effort is not considered suitable for competitive financial 
assistance. The DOE share of funding is estimated at $589,000 for the 
three year project period and shall be used to pay for salaries and 
wages, fringe benefits, equipment, travel, direct and indirect costs. 
The anticipated term of the renewal period is March 1, 1994 through 
February 28, 1997.
