AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Richland Operations Office.

ACTION: Notice of intent to make a noncompetitive financial assistance 
award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------.


SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Richland Operations Office 
(RL) announces that pursuant to Public Law 95-91, as amended, 
Department of Energy Organization Act, it intends to make a 
discretionary financial assistant award based on the criterion set 
forth in 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(D) to the Tri-City Industrial 
Development Council (TRIDEC), Kennewick, Washington, under Grant Number 
DE-FGO6-94RL12917. The primary purpose of the grant is to act for DOE 
as facilitator in regard to submission of community economic 
development diversification proposals. This three year effort will have 
an estimated cost of $228,000 for the first budget year.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions regarding this announcement should be addressed to the U.S. 
Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office, Procurement Division, 
Mail Stop A7-80, P.O. Box 550, 825 Jadwin Avenue, Richland, Washington 
99352, ATTN: Jo Laughlin, Contract Specialist.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support of the transformation within the 
Department of Energy as it redirects its focus from a primarily mission 
oriented, inward-facing agency to a service-oriented, customer-driven 
agency, the Secretary of Energy has implemented plans for supporting 
economic development and community assistance activities around DOE 
sites affected by changing program missions. Each Operations Office has 
been charged with notifying the public of available facilities, 
technology partnership opportunities and economic development and 
diversification programs for the purpose of stimulating local economic 
growth through community partnerships. It is anticipated that 
assistance through community economic development plans will help to 
minimize the impact of DOE downsizing on the local area and work force. 
Community representatives, including elected officials, business 
executives, community leaders, and the academic field, have selected 
TRIDEC, under a Memorandum of Understanding, to be the Community Reuse 
Organization (CRO) and single point of contact for coordinating 
community efforts and resources and performing site-specific economic 
development planning and management. The ultimate goal is to stimulate 
local economic growth through community partnerships so that when the 
Department of Energy has completed its mission and closes its 
operations at this site, the economical impact on the community will be 
minimal.
