DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

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-FG02-85CE40738 to Institute 
of Paper Science and Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. It is DOE's intent 
to provide funds for the renewal of a project entitled: ``Advanced 
Water Removal Processes for Drying in the Pulp and Paper Industry--
Impulse Drying''. The project goal is to demonstrate through pilot 
testing a novel water removal process, Impulse Drying, for the 
manufacture of paper. Utilizing this process would greatly reduce the 
energy and associated costs required for the full cycle of drying 
required for paper manufacture. The original proposal ``Advanced Water 
Removal Processes for Drying in the Pulp and Paper Industry'' was 
submitted to DOE by IPST in May 1984 as an unsolicited proposal. The 
project has previously been funded at a cost of $5,152,000 with a 35% 
IPST cost share. The proposed renewal will have a duration of two (2) 
years. IPST proposed total cost is $2,446,250 of which the proposed DOE 
cost is $1,957,000 and IPST's and associated partner's proposed cost-
share is $489,250 (20%) of the total cost.

    The Federal Domestic Catalog Number is 81.078.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The statutory authority for the proposed 
award is the Energy Conservation Program begun in 1975 under the 
mandate of the Federal Non-Nuclear 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.
