DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Golden Field Office; New York Support Office

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Golden Field Office, through 
the New York Support Office (NYSO), announces that, pursuant to the DOE 
Financial Assistance Rules, 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2), DOE intends to make a 
financial assistance award to the New York State Energy Office (NYSEO) 
to begin Phase II of the Energy Efficiency Procurement Collaborative.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal is Phase II of the completed 
Phase I project funded by DOE to study and produce a report on the 
feasibility of establishing an Energy Efficiency Procurement 
Collaborative and a comprehensive data base of 12 types of energy-
consuming equipment purchased by federal and state government agencies. 
The majority of states surveyed under Phase I expressed their urgent 
need for a comprehensive data base to assist them in procuring energy-
efficient equipment as well as their interest in participating in 
collaborative procurement. The proposed award will serve the public 
purpose of increasing energy efficiency in every sector of the economy 
by enabling federal and state government agencies, and ultimately the 
industrial and commercial sectors, to knowledgeably select and purchase 
energy-efficient equipment with the benefits of collaborative 
procurement and by providing an expanded market for energy-efficient 
products. The proposal will also assist DOE in meeting the requirement 
of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT) (by the year 2000, energy 
consumption in federal buildings is to be reduced 20% below 1985 
levels), and Executive Order 12902 of March 8, 1994 (by the year 2005, 
energy use in federal buildings is to be cut by 30% below 1985 levels), 
and DOE's mission to improve energy efficiency in every economic 
sector.
    The proposed project period is three years and is expected to begin 
in October 1994. DOE plans to provide initial funding for the project 
in the amount of $75,000. In-kind services will be provided by non-
federal participants.
