DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Nevada Operations Office; Award of a Grant, Noncompetitive 
Financial Assistance

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE), Nevada Operations Office.

ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance.

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

SUMMARY: DOE announces that pursuant to the DOE Financial Assistance 
Rules, 10 CFR 600.14(e)(1), it intends to award a noncompetitive 
financial assistance grant to the state of Nevada, Department of 
Conservation and Natural Resources (NDCNR), for providing environmental 
oversight and monitoring initiatives, which will ensure the DOE Nevada 
Operations Office compliance with applicable federal, state, and local 
environmental requirements.
    This grant will implement an agreement with the NDCNR to improve 
the accountability of DOE in the area of environmental protection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The state of Nevada, NDCNR, will provide 
independent validation of environmental compliance data, establish 
environmental cleanup schedules, and provide a mechanism for assisting 
DOE to prioritize its cleanup activities.
    The state of Nevada will assume a more substantive role in 
overseeing DOE's compliance with state environmental laws, and to help 
assure the citizens of Nevada that DOE operations do not constitute a 
health hazard.
    Eligibility for the award of this grant is being limited to the 
state of Nevada because the applicant is a unit of government, and the 
activity to be supported is related to performance of a governmental 
function within the subject's jurisdiction, thereby precluding DOE 
provision of support to another entity.
    The term of this grant is five years and will commence July 1, 
1994, and end June 30, 1999. The total estimated cost of this award is 
$4 million.
