DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Financial Assistance Award; American Sun Company

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent to award an unsolicited application financial 
assistance award.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 CFR 
600.6(a)(2), it is making a discretionary financial assistance award 
based on acceptance of an unsolicited application meeting the criteria 
of 10 CFR 600.14(e)(1) under Grant Number DE-FG01-94CE15601 to American 
Sun Company. The proposed grant will provide funding in the estimated 
amount of $99,824 by the Department of Energy for the purpose of saving 
energy through the development and construction of an extra-focal, 
convective suppressing solar collector to use in such applications as 
water heating, space heating, industrial process heating, absorption 
cooling, and desiccant cooling. The proposed technology has a strong 
possibility of adding to the Nation's Energy Resources by enabling 
solar energy to be used in household and industrial processes that now 
can only be served cost effectively by fossil fuels and electricity.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please write the U.S. Department of 
Energy, Office of Placement and Administration, ATTN: John Windish, HR-
531.23, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy has determined in 
accordance with 10 CFR 600.14(f) that the unsolicited application for 
financial assistance submitted by American Sun Company, is meritorious 
based on the general evaluation required by 10 CFR 600.14(d) and that 
the proposed project represents a unique idea, that would not be 
eligible for financial assistance under a recent, current, or planned 
solicitation. Miles Maiden will be the principal investigator. He has 
pursued the development, refinement, manufacture, and marketing of this 
invention since 1990. The Energy Related Inventions Program (ERIP) has 
been structured, since its beginning in 1975, to operate without 
competitive solicitations because the authorizing legislation directs 
ERIP to provide support for worthy ideas submitted by the public. The 
program has never issued and has no plans to issue a competitive 
solicitation.
    The anticipated term of the proposed grant is 18 months from the 
effective date of award.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on May 4, 1994.

Scott Sheffield,

Director, Headquarter Operations Division B, Office of Placement and 
Administration.
