Aluminum Visions of the Future Funding Opportunity Announcement

AGENCY: Golden Field Office, U.S. Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of issuance of funding opportunity announcement.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is announcing its 
intention to seek applications for cost-shared research and development 
of technologies which will reduce energy consumption, reduce 
environmental impacts and enhance economic competitiveness of the 
domestic aluminum industry. The research is to address research 
priorities identified by the aluminum industry in the Aluminum Industry 
Technology Roadmap and the Inert Anode Roadmap (available at the 
following URL: http://www.oit.doe.gov/aluminum/visions.shtml.) 
Potential benefits of the research must be realized in manufacturing 
processes, not in end-use applications.

DATES: The funding opportunity announcement was issued March 22, 2004.

ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the announcement, interested parties 
should access the DOE Golden Field Office home page at http://www.go.doe.gov/funding.html, click on the word ``access.'' The link 
will open the Industry Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) web site 
and provide instructions on using IIPS. The Announcement can also be 
obtained directly through IIPS at http://e-center.doe.gov by browsing 
opportunities by Contract Activity, for those announcements issued by 
the Golden Field Office. DOE will not issue paper copies of the 
announcement.
    IIPS provides the medium for disseminating announcements, receiving 
financial assistance applications, and evaluating the applications in a 
paperless environment. The application may be submitted in the Industry 
Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) by the applicant or a designated 
representative that receives authorization from the applicant; however, 
the application documentation must reflect the name and title of the 
representative authorized to enter the applicant into a legally binding 
contract or agreement. The applicant or the designated representative 
must first register in IIPS, entering their first name and last name, 
then entering the company name/address of the applicant.
    For questions regarding the operation of IIPS, contact the IIPS 
Help Desk at center.doe.gov">IIPS_HelpDesk@e-center.doe.gov or at (800) 683-0751.
