DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Mutual Assistance Program, Notice of Proposed Grant

AGENCY: Western Area Power Administration, DOE.

ACTION: The Western Area Power Administration (Western)/Washington 
State Energy Office (WSEO), Olympia, Washington, Mutual Assistance 
Program Notice of Proposed Grant.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy announces that, pursuant to 10 Code 
of Federal Regulations 600.6, eligibility for a grant to develop and 
disseminate cofunded electronic bulletin board technical information to 
Western's customer base has been restricted to WSEO.

ADDRESSES: Requests for further information should be submitted to the 
following address: Ms. Mary Prebble, Contract Specialist, Western Area 
Power Administration, P.O. Box 3402, Golden, CO 80401, (303) 275-1507, 
Purchase Requisition Number: AA-PR-12111.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Western's Energy Services Program is 
designed to ensure wise stewardship of the Federal hydropower resources 
and to encourage energy efficiency and the development of renewable 
energy resources in accordance with the National Energy Policy Act of 
1992, which requires the development of integrated resource planning 
(IRP) by all Western long-term firm power customers. To meet these 
ends, Western offers a number of Energy Services Program activities to 
its customers, including educational workshops and seminars, equipment 
loan programs, cost sharing of energy efficiency projects, and IRP 
methods that Western uses to effectively deliver its energy services 
activities to customers within the 15-State marketing area via an 
electronic bulletin board. Western has cosponsored this bulletin board 
with WSEO, Bonneville Power Administration, and the Department of 
Energy since 1993. Such joint participation mutually benefits the 
State, the Federal Government, and Western customers through the 
pooling of resources to provide cost-effective energy services 
activities.
    The WSEO, even though it is located outside the Western Service 
Area, is committed to promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy 
development and providing technical assistance of use to Western 
throughout Western's service territory through the bulletin board. Its 
resources, technical ability, and nationwide credibility put it in the 
best position of all potential grantees wherever they may be situated 
to manage this grant.
    Solicitation number: DE-RP65-94WA12131.
    Scope of Project: The Western/WSEO Mutual Assistance Program is 
designed to allow joint sponsorship of energy services and IRP 
activities within Western's 15-State marketing area. The grant will 
provide cost-shared funding for the bulletin board development, 
implementation of energy services, and IRP activities primarily through 
technical assistance and technology information transfer and peer 
networking, especially in demand-side management, renewable energy, and 
IRP.
    Activities funded under this program may include, but are not 
limited to: educational workshops and seminar, development and 
management of a resource library and hotline, development and 
management of the electronic bulletin board, and coordination with 
other Government and private agencies.

    Issued at Golden, Colorado, July 25, 1994.

Administrator.
