SUMMARY: The Geothermal Energy Program of the Department of Energy's 
(DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is 
issuing a Supplemental Announcement to EERE's Broad Based Solicitation 
for Submission of Financial Assistance Applications Involving Research, 
Development and Demonstration, DE-PS36-99GO10383, dated November 9, 
1998. Under the Supplemental Announcement, the Geothermal Energy 
Program is soliciting applications to identify, examine, and evaluate 
innovative ideas with a significant potential to reduce the cost of 
geothermal technology or increase economic geothermal resources through 
cost-shared research and development activities. The DOE Geothermal 
Energy Program consists primarily of research, development, and field 
validation to reduce the cost of using geothermal energy in all its 
forms. Its mission is to work in partnership with U.S. industry to 
establish geothermal energy as a sustainable, environmentally sound, 
economically competitive contributor to the U.S. and world energy 
supply. Research proposals are sought for evaluation of the scientific 
feasibility, technical merit and commercial potential of ideas in the 
following topical areas: drilling; energy conversion; fracture 
detection and analysis; heat recovery systems; and by-product recovery 
and waste management. Awards under this Supplemental Announcement will 
be Cooperative Agreements for Phase I research with a term of up to 12 
months. Subject to funding availability, the total DOE funding 
available under this Supplemental Announcement will be $300,000, with 
individual awards not to exceed $75,000 of DOE funding.
    All information regarding the Supplemental Announcement will be 
posted on the DOE Golden Field Office Home page at the address 
identified below.

DATES: DOE expects to issue the Supplemental Announcement the week of 
December 7, 1998. The closing date of the Supplemental Announcement is
