DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 

Noncompetitive Award of Financial Assistance; Industrialized 
Housing: Product and Process Research Proposal

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Chicago Field Office, through 
the Seattle Support Office, announces that pursuant to DOE Financial 
Assistance Rules 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2), it intends to award a cooperative 
agreement to University of Oregon (UO). The award represents a 
continuation of DOE funded research for the UO to produce marketable 
industrialized housing that is more energy efficient. Public Law 95-224 
provides the statutory authority for the proposed award.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: UO has been engaged in industrialized 
housing research for the last four years and has made successful 
advances to produce marketable industrialized housing that is more 
energy efficient and has a lower operating and first cost than 
conventional ``stick-built'' construction. Research under the 
cooperative agreement will provide needed data to DOE and industry 
utilizing industrialized housing technologies.
    Therefore, the financial assistance application is being accepted 
because the work to be funded is necessary to continue activities 
presently being funded by DOE and the work will enhance the public 
benefit. DOE knows of no other entity which is conducting such an 
activity in the near or distant future. The project period for the 
cooperative agreement is expected to begin in November 1993 for a five 
year period. DOE plans to provide funding in the amount of $10,075,000 
for this project period.

Energy, Seattle Support Office, 800 Fifth Avenue, suite 3950, Seattle, 
WA 98104, (206) 553-2079.
