DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Financial Assistance Award: Intent to Award a Cooperative 
Agreement to Tulane University

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of non-competitive financial assistance award.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy announces that, pursuant to 10 CFR 
600.6(a)(5), it is making a discretionary financial assistance award 
based on the criteria set forth at 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(H) to Tulane 
University of Louisiana under Cooperative Agreement Number DE-FG01-
94EW54102. The subject Cooperative Agreement will be for a two year 
project period and a total estimated amount of $23,000,000.
    Under this Cooperative Agreement Tulane will initiate a 
comprehensive risk evaluation program that will focus on identifying 
urgent human health risks, including worker safety, that exist at and 
around the nation's major hazardous and mixed waste facilities and 
sites; and provide a mechanism for the systematic evaluation of hazards 
to health and the environment that will facilitate near-term decision-
making, consistent with the goals of the nation's environmental cleanup 
initiative. The Tulane/Xavier Center for Bioenvironmental Research has 
extensive experience in environmental and occupational health and 
safety research, which provides the critical foundation for the rapid 
initiation and completion of an unbiased, comprehensive study that will 
have a high degree of credibility with all stakeholders.
    The Department of Energy has determined in accordance with 10 CFR 
600.7(b)(2)(i)(H), that the award of this non-competitive Cooperative 
Agreement to Tulane University is in the public interest.
