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 nomcompetitive 
financial assistance grant to the state of Nevada, Department of Human 
Resources (NDHR), 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 NDHR to improve the 
accountability of DOE in the areas of environmental protection and 
public health and safety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The state of Nevada, NDHR, will develop 
programs for oversight to ensure compliance with applicable federal, 
state, and local regulations at DOE locations in the state of Nevada.

    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 application 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 provisions of support to another entity.
    The term of this grant is for five years and will commence July 1, 
1994, and end June 30, 1999. The total estimated cost of this award is 
$1.2 million.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada 
Operations Office, Attn: Donald R. Elle, PO Box 98518, Las Vegas, NV
