DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 

Notice of a Class Deviation To Waive Federal Register Notices of 
Financial Assistance Awards To Help Meet Special Power and Propulsion 
Needs for Future Space Missions

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of class deviation from 10 CFR 600.14(f).

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 10 CFR 600.4, Deviations, the Department of Energy 
has authorized a class deviation from 10 CFR 14(f) which requires a 
Federal Register Notice of each financial assistance award. This 
deviation applies exclusively to applications received in response to a 
Notice of Program Interest (NOPI) entitled Invitation for Proposals 
Designed to Support Federal Agencies and Commercial Interests in 
Meeting Special Power and Propulsion Needs for Future Space Missions 
(58 FR 63931, December 3, 1993) which was published by the Department 
of Energy. Applications submitted in response to the NOPI were accepted 
through January 31, 1994.
    The intent of publishing notification of financial assistance 
awards is to foster competition and provide information regarding 
subcontracting opportunities. However, a Notice of Program Opportunity 
has already served as notice to interested applicants, and no 
subcontracting opportunities have been identified. Additionally, due to 
programmatic requirements, it is important that awards be made as soon 
as possible. Therefore, the Department of Energy has determined, 
pursuant to 10 CFR 600.4, that a deviation from the requirement to 
publish a Federal Register Notice of each such award is (1) Necessary 
to achieve program objectives, (2) necessary to conserve public funds.

Placement and Administration, Attn: Mr. Nick Graham, HR-531.23, 1000 
Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20585.
