DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 

Financial Assistance Award: DCS Corporation

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 
CFR 600.6(a)(2) it is making a discretionary financial assistance award 
based on the acceptance of an unsolicited application meeting the 
criteria of 10 CFR 600.14(e)(1) to DCS Corporation under Grant Number 
DE-FG01-94CE15605. The proposed grant will provide funding in the 
estimated amount of $99,960 by the Department of Energy for the purpose 
of saving energy through development of the grantee's, Mr. W, Paul 
Blase's, ``Surface Profiling System Optimized for Inspection of Turbine 
Blades''.

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 DCS Corporation is meritorious based 
on the general evaluation required by 10 CFR 600.14(d) and the proposed 
project represents a unique device offering the potential for high 
speed and high accuracy in turbine inspection which should translate to 
faster inspection time, larger sample sizes, and lower production time 
with commensurately reduced costs and energy savings. The proposed 
project is not eligible for financial assistance under a recent, 
current or planned solicitation because the funding program, the Energy 
Related Invention 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 was never issued and has no 
plans to issue a competitive solicitation.

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., S.W., Washington, DC 20585.
    The anticipated term of the proposed grant is 18 months from the 
date of award.

    Issued in Washington, DC on June 29, 1994.
David Leotta,
Contracting Officer, Office of Placement and Administration.
