financial assistance to the South Carolina Energy R&D Center for 
conducting the activities of the Waste Technology Center (WTC) which 
will facilitate the demonstrations of municipal solid waste disposal 
technologies at the U.S. Department of Energy Savannah River Site 
Subtitle D landfill near Aiken, South Carolina. The WTC will focus on 
technologies that produce value-added products cleanly, safely and 
economically, while reducing the volume of municipal solid wastes 
processed in landfills. The WTC will be co-located with the Savannah 
River Site Subtitle D landfill. By providing financial support, DOE 
expects to better satisfy the municipal solid wastes disposal needs of 
the DOE Savannah River Site, encourage development of technologies 
which will produce value-added products and reduce the volume of 
municipal solid wastes processed in landfills. The South Carolina 
Energy R&D Center is uniquely positioned to perform this activity due 
to its ongoing activities with municipal solid waste reduction, 
recycling, and energy production, and because of its established 
relationship with the entities participating in the establishment of 
the Savannah River Site Subtitle D landfill. The criterion in 10 CFR 
600.6(c)(2), permits award of this noncompetitive action because the 
activities are being conducted by the applicant using its own resources 
and resources provided by third parties; and, DOE support will enhance 
the public benefits and DOE knows of no other entity which is 
conducting or planning to conduct such activities.
