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, Division of 
Emergency Management (NDEM), for providing emergency management 
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 NDEM to improve the 
accountability of the DOE in the areas of environmental protection, 
public health and safety, and emergency management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The state of Nevada, NDEM, will provide emergency management 
initiatives 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 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 
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 
$1.4 million.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada
