DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

of Radioactive-Hazardous Wastes

AGENCY: Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Environmental 
Management through the DOE Idaho Operations Office intends to negotiate 
and award on a noncompetitive basis, Cooperative Agreement No. DE-FC07-
95ID13372 to Envirocare of Utah, Incorporated (Recipient). The award 
has an estimated overall total value of $2,310,883, of which DOE's 
share will be approximately $1,000,000. The award will allow the 
Recipient to build a polymer extrusion facility for processing 
radioactive-hazardous waste.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dallas L. Hoffer, Contract Specialist, (208) 526-0014; U.S. Department 
of Energy, Idaho Operations Office, 850 Energy Drive, Mail Stop 1221, 
Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401-1563.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is anticipated the award will benefit the 
public in three ways. First, technology developed by DOE will be 
transferred to private industry for commercial use, second, disposal of 
mixed radioactive-hazardous wastes using macroencapsulation technology 
will be demonstrated, and third, inventories of mixed radioactive-
hazardous wastes will be reduced. The work anticipated under the new 
award is expected to have a significant impact towards meeting those 
goals. The non-competitive award justification is Criteria (B) and (D) 
of 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i), as follows:
    (B) The activity(ies) is (are) being or would be conducted by the 
applicant using its own resources or those donated or provided by third 
parties; however, DOE support of that activity would enhance the public 
benefits to be derived and DOE knows of no other entity which is 
conducting or is planning to conduct such an activity(ies).
    (D) The applicant has exclusive domestic capability to perform the 
activity successfully, based upon unique equipment, proprietary data, 
technical expertise, or other such unique qualifications. The Statutory 
Authority for the new award is Public Law 95-224 and Public Law 97-258. 
Also, the award complies with Public Law 102-386, because large 
quantities of mixed radioactive-hazardous wastes being stored in U.S. 
could be treated and disposed.
    Procurement Request Number: 07-95ID13372.000.
