DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Notice of Non-Competitive Financial Assistance Award

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Golden Field Office, through 
the Chicago Regional Support Office, announces that, pursuant to DOE 
Financial Assistance Rules 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2), its intent to award a 
grant to the Council of Great Lakes Governors. The award represents 
renewed funding under DOE's Regional Biomass Energy Program. The goal 
of this program is to build and maintain the capacity of state energy, 
forestry and environmental quality offices to responsibly promote 
biomass technologies and the use of biomass energy in the seven state 
Great Lakes Region.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council of Great Lakes Governors is 
responsible for the administration of the Great Lakes Regional Biomass 
Program (GLRBEP). The GLRBEP has three basic components. A state grant 
component provides funds (with a 50/50 matching requirement) to each of 
the states in the region to strengthen and integrate the work of state 
agencies involved in biomass energy. The applied research and 
technology transfer component produces a series of technical reports in 
areas that have been identified as being important to the development 
of biomass energy in the region. The third component is a long range 
planning effort, with substantial involvement from the private sector, 
to identify activities necessary to spur greater development and use of 
biomass energy in the Great Lakes Region.
    The grant is being accepted by DOE because DOE knows of no other 
organization that is conducting or planning to conduct this type of 
effort in promoting of the use of biomass energy in the Great Lakes 
Region. The project period for the award is twelve months, expected to 
begin September 1994. DOE plans to provide funding in the amount of 
$730,000.

Office, 9800 South Cass Avenue, Argonne, Illinois 60439, 708/252-2313.
