DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Providing Environmental Oversite and Monitoring at the INEL

AGENCY: Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) intends to negotiate and 
award on a noncompetitive basis Grant No. DE-FG07-96ID13373 to the 
State of Idaho, Department of Health and Welfare (Recipient). The award 
has an estimated overall total value of $15,000,000, of which DOE's 
share will be 100%. The award will allow the Recipient to ensure the 
DOE operations are fully accountable in the areas of environmental 
protection, public health, and safety. The State and DOE entered into 
an agreement in principle to assure the citizens of Idaho that health, 
safety, and the environment are being protected through DOE and State 
actions. This grant will provide funding to the State by DOE to carry 
out various environmental oversight and monitoring activities. A 
similar past agreement was very successful; therefore, DOE and Idaho 
determined to enter into a similar agreement for another five years.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marshall C. Garr, Contract Specialist, 
[phone], U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office, 850 
Energy Drive, Mail Stop 1221, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83401-1563.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is anticipated that the award will 
provide the benefit of building public confidence in DOE programs 
through the State's independent evaluation of DOE's environmental and 
waste management programs. The work anticipated under this new award is 
expected to have a continued impact towards meeting this benefit. The 
non-competitive award justification is Criteria (C) of 10 CFR 
600.7(b)(2)(i), as follows:
    (C) The applicant is a unit of government and the activity to be 
supported is related to performance of a governmental function within 
the subject jurisdiction, thereby precluding DOE provision of support 
to another entity.
    The statutory authorities for the proposed award are Sections 
102(11) and 102(13) of the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 
U.S.C. 7112(11) and 7112(13)).
