DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Financial Assistance Award: Clean Air Cab Company, Inc.

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. 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 Sec. 600.7(b)(2)(i)(H) 
to the Clean Air Cab Company, Inc., under Grant Number DE-FG01-
94CE50395 to initiate a demonstration project from which operational 
data will be collected and emissions testing will take place of the 
grantee's cabs which will be modified to operate on compressed natural 
gas. The Department of Energy has determined that a noncompetitive 
award is in the public interest.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy has determined in 
accordance with 10 CFR Sec. 600.7(b)(2)(i)(H) that a noncompetitive 
award based on the application submitted by the Clean Air Cab Company 
is in the public interest. This program will be used to stimulate and 
support the use of alternative fueled vehicles. The proposed grant will 
provide funding in the estimated amount of $90,000 for the first budget 
period or $270,000 over a three year period. Data obtained from the 
grantee will be useful to the Government, industry and the public in 
determining the adequacy of systems used on these alternative fuel 
vehicles. The Department of Energy has determined it to be in the 
public interest to award a noncompetitive grant to the Clean Air Cab 
Company because the proposed project has been initiated by the 
applicant using his own resources. The Grantee's vehicles are all 
equipped with state-of-the-art cellular monitoring equipment, which 
makes electronic tracking of mileage, maintenance, and refueling 
information reliable and instantaneous. The proposed project is 
authorized under the Alternative Motor Fuels Act of 1988, and it will 
allow the Department to evaluate other types of alternative fuel 
vehicles in the future as they become available.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please write the U.S. Department of 
Energy, Office of Placement and Administration, ATTN: Rose Mason HR-
531.23, 1000 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20585.
    The anticipated term of the proposed grant is three years from the 
date of award.

    Issued in Washington, DC on June 15, 1994.
