Financial Assistance: Institute of Paper Science and Technology 
(IPST), Atlanta, GA

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office, 
announces that pursuant to the DOE Financial Assistance Rules 10 CFR 
600.7, it intends to renew Grant Number DE-FG02-90CE40936 to Institute 
of Paper Science and Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. It is DOE's intent 
to provide funds for the renewal of a project entitled: ``Black Liquor 
Combustion-Validated Recovery Boiler Modeling''. The project goal is to 
develop various submodels that incorporate all of the available 
knowledge of the chemical reactions occurring in a recovery boiler, 
together with a specially developed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) 
modeling code, to obtain an overall (global) computer model useful for 
the analysis, design, and optimization of recovery boilers. The 
original proposal ``Black Liquor Combustion--Validated Recover Boiler 
Modeling'' was submitted to DOE by IPST in April 1990 as an unsolicited 
proposal. The project has previously been funded for a cost of 
$5,143,000 with a 29% IPST cost share. The proposed renewal will have a 
duration of 15 months. IPST proposed total cost is $1,219,740 of which 
the proposed DOE cost is $849,999 and IPST's and associated partner's 
proposed cost-share is $370,740 (30%) of the total cost.

    The Federal Domestic Catalog Number is 81.078.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kara Twitchell, U.S. Department of Energy, Drive, MS 1221, Idaho Falls, 
Idaho 83401-1563, (208) 526-4958.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMAITON: The statutory authority for the proposed 
award is the Energy Conservation Program begun in 1975 under the 
mandate of the Federal Non-Nuclear Energy Idaho Operations Office, 850 
Energy Research and Development Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-577). The 
proposal meets the criteria for ``non-competitive'' financial 
assistance as set forth in 10 CFR Part 600.7(b)(2)(i)(A). The applicant 
is an institution of higher education. The anticipated period to 
complete the renewal is fifteen (15) months. The total estimated cost 
of this renewal project is $1,219,740 of which the proposed DOE cost is 
$849,999 and IPST's and associated partner's proposed cost-share is 
$370,740 (30%) of the total cost.
