Motor Challenge Showcase Demonstration Projects

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of extension for submitting Showcase Demonstration 
project proposals.

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

SUMMARY: On Friday, October 7, 1994, the U.S. Department of Energy 
(DOE) published a notice inviting participation in Motor Challenge 
Showcase Demonstration Projects (59 FR 51186). DOE is interested in 
obtaining proposals from industrial electric motor system end users for 
projects that are intended to demonstrate and ``showcase'' electric 
motor system energy efficiency, productivity, and environmental 
improvement in varied industrial or municipal facilities and settings. 
Projects selected by DOE will become ``Showcase Demonstrations'' and 
are part of a larger, Federally-sponsored (DOE) program that is an 
industry-driven collaborative effort called MOTOR CHALLENGE. The 
experiences and successful results to be gained from the Showcase 
Demonstrations will be used to encourage other U.S. industrial 
companies with similar applications to adopt efficient electric motor 
systems, and therefore, to increase the market penetration of efficient 
electric motor systems on a widespread basis within the U.S. Todays 
notice announces an extension for the submission of Motor Challenge 
Showcase Demonstration Project proposals.

DATES: The extended dates to guarantee consideration are: preliminary 
proposals must be received by March 1, 1995. Preliminary-proposals 
shall be considered as meeting the deadline if they are either: (1) 
received on or before the deadline date or, (2) postmarked on or before 
the deadline date. Preliminary-proposals which do not meet the deadline 
will be considered late applications and may not be considered. The 
preliminarily-accepted Showcase Demonstrations are projected to be 
announced by approximately April, 1995 and will be asked by DOE to 
provide final-proposals. The final proposals scheduled due date is 
approximately May, 1995. DOE is expected to finalize Showcase 
Demonstration project selection by approximately June, 1995. The 
initial Showcase Demonstration Workshop is scheduled to take place in 
June, 1995. It is envisioned that selected projects will have a 
duration of no more than 18 months, and therefore, projects are 
expected to be completed (the project's costs and benefits defined and 
validated) by November, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Preliminary-proposals and MOTOR CHALLENGE Partnership 
applications should be submitted to the MOTOR CHALLENGE Information 
Clearinghouse: MOTOR CHALLENGE Information Clearinghouse, P.O. Box 
43171, Olympia, Washington 98504-3171

.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To receive further information on the 
MOTOR CHALLENGE Partnership, to obtain application forms for the 
Partnership, or to make inquiries related to the Showcase Demonstration 
projects, call the MOTOR CHALLENGE Hotline at 1-800-862-2086.

    Issued in Washington, DC this 22nd day of November, 1994.

Acting Director, Industrial Energy Efficiency Division, Office of 
Industrial Technologies.
