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

SUMMARY: The DOE Office of Power Technologies is funding a competitive 
financial assistance program in support of the DOE Hydrogen Program. 
Applications are requested under a DOE Broad Based Solicitation that is 
anticipated to result in the award of one or more cooperative 
agreements in Fiscal Year 2000.

Background Information

    The Office of Power Technologies (OPT) of the DOE Office of Energy 
Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is supporting the issuance of a 
Supplemental Announcement to the EERE Broad Based Solicitation for 
Submission of Financial Assistance Applications Involving Research, 
Development and Demonstration, DE-PS36-00GO10482. The Broad Based 
Solicitation contains information that must be used in conjunction with 
the Supplemental Announcement when applying for an award. Thus, in 
order to prepare a complete application, it is mandatory to comply with 
the requirements of the overall Broad Based Solicitation document, DE-
PS36-00GO10482 (found on the Golden Field Office Home Page at http://www.eren.doe.gov/golden/solicitations.html) as well as the requirements 
of the Supplemental Announcement 02 document.
    Under this Supplemental Announcement, DOE is seeking applications 
for technical analysis that can advance hydrogen production, storage, 
and utilization technologies. The objectives are to provide analysis in 
the following areas: (1) Technical analysis of projects now funded by 
the DOE Hydrogen Program, (2) analysis of novel hydrogen systems not 
currently being researched in the Program, (3) assistance in 
disseminating hydogen-related information to the public and industry, 
and (4) technical analysis on matters affecting hydrogen-related issues 
being considered by the International Energy Agency.
    It is anticipated that projects may be selected for initial 12-
month awards with possible continuations for up to two additional 
years. DOE is proposing to undertake this effort under the Hydrogen 
Future Act of 1996, Public Law 104-271. Awards, if any, will result 
from a merit review process applied to the applications.

DATES: Applications should be submitted as described in the 
Supplemental Announcement by March 31, 2000.
