ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Pursuant to 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(D), The U.S. Department of Energy Region IV Support Office, through the Golden Field Office, intends to award a grant to the University of Florida to support a program to improve energy efficiency in the commercial buildings sector. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Centers (EADCs) have been established to provide technical assistance in the use of new energy efficient technology in the manufacturing sector. The Department of Energy has an interest in developing this concept and evaluating its feasibility in the commercial buildings area. In this pilot project, the University of Florida will conduct five audits of commercial buildings to test this approach. The project will assess the applicability of augmenting the existing EADC structure to conduct commercial buildings audits and will estimate the cost effectiveness of this approach. Noncompetitive financial assistance is in accordance with the justifying criteria presented in 10 CFR 600. DOE has determined that support of this activity would enhance the public benefits to be derived and DOE knows of no other entity which is conducting or is planning to conduct such an activity. DOE plans to provide FY 1994 funding in the amount of $50,000 in support of this activity.
