DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Financial Assistance Award; Intent To Award Grant to Magnetic 
Seal Corporation

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of unsolicited application financial assistance award.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 
CFR 600.6(a)(2) it is making a financial assistance award under Grant 
Number DE-FG01-94CE15585 to Magnetic Seal Corporation, Inc. The 
proposed grant will provide funding in the amount of $90,050 by the 
Department of Energy for purposes of saving energy through development 
of an interior insulating window using double magnet sealing design.
    The Department of Energy has determined in accordance with 10 CFR 
600.14(e)(1) that the application submitted by Magnetic Seal 
Corporation is meritorious based on the general evaluation required by 
10 CFR 600.14(d) and that the proposed project represents a unique idea 
that would not be eligible for financial assistance under a recent, 
current or planned solicitation. The principal investigator, Mr. 
Boomershine, has received U.S. and Canadian patents on his invention 
and has experience in developing the new energy saving technology. The 
proposed project is not eligible for financial assistance under a 
recent, current or planned solicitation because the funding program, 
the Energy Related Invention Program (ERIP), has been structured since 
its beginning in 1975 to operate without competitive solicitations 
because the authorizing legislation directs ERIP to provide support for 
worthy ideas submitted by the public. The program has never issued and 
has no plans to issue a competitive solicitation.
    The anticipated term of the proposed grant is 18 months from the 
date of the award.

Administration, ATTN: Rose Mason, HR-531.23, 1000 Independence Ave.,
