DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 

Financial Assistance Award: Custom Electronics Incorporated

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 
CFR 600.6(a)(2) it is making a financial assistance award under grant 
Number DE-FG01-95EE15617 to Custom Electronics, Incorporated. The 
proposed grant will provide funding in the amount of $99,945 by the 
Department of Energy for the purpose of saving energy through 
development of a gas broiler control to automatically limit gas flow to 
cooking equipment when it is not in use.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy has determined in 
accordance with 10 CFR 600.14(e)(1) that the unsolicited application 
for financial assistance submitted by Custom Electronics, Incorporated 
is meritorious based on the general evaluation required by 10 CFR 
600.14(d) and the proposed project represents a unique idea that would 
not be eligible for financial assistance under a recent, current or 
planned solicitation. The co-inventor, William Garceau, who will be 
assisted by Thomas Speakman, has many years of experience performing 
advanced research work in the fields of electronics and material 
sciences. The proposed project is not eligible for financial assistance 
under a recent, current or planned solicitation because the funding 
program, the Energy Related Invention program (ERIP), has been 
structured since its beginning in 1975 to operate without competitive 
solicitations because the authorizing legislation directs ERIP to 
provide support for worthy ideas submitted by the public. The program 
has never issued and has no plans to issue a competitive solicitation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please write the U.S. Department of 
Energy Office of Placement and Administration, Attn: Rose Mason, HR-
531.23, 1000 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20585.
    The anticipated term of the proposed grant is 18 months from the 
date of award.

    Issued in Washington, D.C. on December 5, 1994.

Contracting Officer, Office of Placement and Administration.
