DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Financial Assistance Award; Intent To Award Cooperative Agreement 
to Urban Energy and Transportation Corporation

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of non-competitive financial assistance award.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 CFR 
600.6(a)(5), it is making a discretionary financial assistance award 
based on the criterion set forth at 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(A) to Urban 
Energy and Transportation Corporation (UETC) under Cooperative 
Agreement Number DE-FC01-94EW54065. Estimated total funding in the 
amount of $15,000,000 will be provided to obtain local officials' 
participation and expertise in transportation activities including 
collection and dissemination of information, conducting regional and 
national workshops, providing technical assistance, and identification 
and analyses of issues related to transportation of hazardous materials 
through large urban areas. This activity will promote better 
understanding of local views concerning clean-up technologies, 
emergency management and training issues, and transportation operations 
and outreach. As a result, this will enable DOE to develop programs 
that will better meet those local needs.
    The Department of Energy has determined in accordance with 10 CFR 
600.7(b)(2)(i)(A) that UETC will provide continued activity which is 
necessary to the satisfactory completion of an activity presently being 
funded by DOE, and for which competition for support would have a 
significant adverse effect on continuity or completion of the activity.
    The proposed effort is to establish and maintain networks of senior 
decision-makers from local communities who are responsible for or 
concerned about technology development, transportation, and emergency 
issues associated with energy-related facilities.
    UETC has a vast array of techniques to accomplish the objectives of 
the proposed project, including professional techniques in structured 
meeting design and facilitation, information dissemination through 
printed products such as newsletters and electronic media, opinion 
surveys, planning and program evaluation, and public and institutional 
involvement.
    The anticipated period of performance is 60 months from the 
effective date of award.
