Richland Operations Office; Notice

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office.

ACTION: Notice of Noncompetitive Financial Assistance Award.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office, 
announces that pursuant to Paragraph C of 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i), it 
intends to issue a noncompetitive grant award to the State of 
Washington Department of Community, Trade, and Economic Development. 
The award is planned for an initial three (3) year project cycle, 
consisting of three (3) separately funded one (1) year budget periods. 
The initial budget is estimated at $1,100,000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Melanie P. Fletcher, U.S. Department 
of Energy, Richland Operations Office, P.O. Box 550, Richland, 
Washington 99352, Telephone: (509) 376-4828.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Grant Award Number: DE-FG06-94RL12995.
    Scope of Project: The proposed financial assistance award is a 
grant Washington State to fund an Environmental Technology Partnership 
Initiative. The partnership will establish a cooperative approach to: 
(1) Private sector participation in cleanup activities at Hanford and 
other sites, and (2) contributing to local sustainable economic 
development. The partnership between DOE and the State of Washington 
will be designed to accomplish these goals through the application of 
advanced technology. The State and DOE will create or designate a non-
profit entity to act as a facilitator between governmental agencies and 
private partners. This entity will establish connections to academic 
institutions, industry, and other research institutions to encourage 
the development, exchange, and commercialization of environmental 
technologies.
    DOE has determined that award on a noncompetitive basis is 
appropriate because the recipient is a unit of government and the 
activities to be supported are related to the performance of 
governmental functions within the jurisdiction of that unit, thereby 
precluding DOE provision of support of another entity. It has been 
determined that a grant instrument is appropriate since the Department 
of Energy anticipates limited direct involvement with the program.

Acting Director, Procurement Division, Richland Operations Office.
