AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office, 
announces that pursuant to the DOE Financial Assistance Rules 10 CFR 
600.7, it intends to award a new start Grant Number DE-FG07-94ID13290 
to the State of Idaho. The proposed grant will fund new business 
development activities by the State of Idaho. The Federal Domestic 
Catalog Number is 81.104.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ginger L. Sandwina, U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office, 
785 DOE Place, MS 1221, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401-1562, (208) 526-8698.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The statutory authorities for the proposed 
award are 42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq., Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as amended 
and Public Law 95-91, Department of Energy Organization Act. The 
proposed award meets the criteria for ``non-competitive'' financial 
assistance as set forth in 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(c). The applicant 
represents a unit of government and the activity to be supported is 
related to performance of a governmental function within the subject 
jurisdiction, thereby precluding DOE provision of support to another 
entity. The award of this grant was authorized by the Secretary in the 
signing of the Settlement Agreement to end the ongoing litigation over 
the acceptance and storage of spend nuclear fuel at the INEL. The grant 
provided funding to the State of Idaho to support regional economic 
development, such as technology transfer, worker training and enhanced 
training, and local business development. The grant will cover these 
activities for an indetermined period and will be funded at a level of 
$500,000 for the initial period and in such amounts as are agreeable to 
the State and DOE thereafter.
