DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Financial Assistance Award: Kemp Development Corporation

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-FG01-95EE15622 to Kemp Development Corporation. The proposed 
grant will provide funding in the estimated amount of $99,995 by the 
Department of Energy for the purpose of saving energy through 
development of the inventor's ``Automated Thermal Treatment of Metals 
With a Mechanically Fluidized Vacuum Machine''.

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 Kemp Development Corporation 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 new technology is expected to provide energy 
savings of 50 percent and will incorporate a number of new features 
including computer control and rapid cooling. The inventor and 
principal investigator, Willard Kemp, is the president of Kemp 
Development Corporation. He has 54 U.S. patents in various fields and 
is a registered professional engineer in Ohio and Texas. Kemp 
Development Corporation will use its engineering facilities for 
designing, constructing, and operating the prototype unit. 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-
531.21, 1000 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20585.
    The anticipated term of the proposed grant is 24 months from the 
date of award.

    Issued in Washington, D.C. on February 27, 1995.
