DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Financial Assistance: Weirton Steel Corporation

AGENCY: Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 
CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(A) it plans to negotiate a renewal award to 
Cooperative Agreement DE-FC07-92ID13162 with Weirton Steel Corporation, 
Weirton, West Virginia.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Linda A. Hallum, Contract Specialist, (208) 526-5545; U.S. Department 
of Energy, 850 Energy Drive, MS 1221, Idaho Falls, ID 83401-1563.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The objective of the project is to develop a 
material marking and tracking system and a process planning and 
scheduling system suitable for use in a steel plant. These systems are 
part of a larger effort to provide a comprehensive Integrated 
Manufacturing Information System (IMIS). The renewal award will 
continue with Phase II tasks. DOE has no recent, current, or planned 
solicitations under which this proposal would be eligible. The activity 
to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory continuation of an 
activity currently funded by DOE and for which competition for support 
would have a significant adverse effect on continuity or completion of 
the project. Anticipated project benefits include energy savings, 
economic benefits, and environmental enhancement. The renewal award 
will be for two years at a total estimated cost of $9,137,433 per year. 
Weirton must cost share at least 50% of the project costs and DOE 
obligations will not exceed amounts authorized for this project. DOE 
has $2,912,000 available for FY 94 and expects a similar amount for FY 
95. Statutory authority for this award is Public Law 93-577, Federal 
Non-Nuclear Energy Research and Development Act of 1974. The Federal 
Domestic Catalog Number is 81.078.

    Dated: March 28, 1994.

Acting Director, Procurement Services Division.
