ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the DOE 
Financial Assistance Rules, 10 CFR 600.7, is announcing its intention 
to award a cooperative agreement to Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. 
for the continuation of development and marketing of novel active-
transport membranes for separation of industrial gasses.

ADDRESSES: Questions regarding this announcement may be addressed to 
the U.S. Department of Energy, Golden Field Office, 1617 Cole Blvd., 
Golden, Colorado 80401, Attention: M.A. Barron, Contract Specialist,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed effort will complete the 
activity started under Cooperative Agreement No. DE-FC02-89ID12779 for 
the development of active transport membranes for gas separation. Under 
the previous agreement, Air Products developed Active Transport 
Membranes (ATM) to the point that commercialization appears to be 
feasible.
    Air Products is now proposing to develop commercial prototypes and 
begin commercializing ATM's by placing them in industrial settings for 
field evaluation. The last stage of development involving commercial 
demonstration on a full scale basis has also been added in order to 
ensure commercial usage.
    DOE has performed a review in accordance with 10 CFR 600.7, and has 
determined that the activity to be funded is necessary to the 
satisfactory completion of, and is a continuation of an activity 
presently being funded by DOE, and for which competition for support 
would have a significant adverse effect on continuity and satisfactory 
completion of the activity. DOE intends to restrict eligibility to Air 
Products and Chemicals, Inc. for this activity in accordance with 10 
CFR Part 600.7(b)(2)(i) (A) and (D).
    The total estimated cost to complete the project is $15,249,800. 
The proposed cost share for Air Products is $6,261,000 (41%) and 
$8,988,800 (59%) for DOE over a 5 year project period.
