DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 

Financial Assistance Award: Carlsbad Department of Development

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Award a Grant Based Upon Acceptance of an 
Unsolicited Application.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy, Albuquerque Operations Office 
through the Carlsbad Area Office, pursuant to DOE Financial Assistance 
Rules 10 CFR 600.14(F) announces its intent to award a grant to the 
Carlsbad Department of Development. The purpose of the grant is to 
analyze and define training needs for DOE Environmental Management 
Staff in conjunction with the needs of the community in southeastern 
New Mexico.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Carlsbad Department of Development (DOD) 
will lead a coalition of regional stakeholders and resource centers to 
evaluate and define the human resources and training needs of the 
Department of Energy, other federal agencies, and the private sector in 
southeast New Mexico. The DOD will develop viable training plans which 
will address DOE's regional training needs as well as other federal 
agencies and the private sector. The training plans will also address 
job retraining, technology transfer/commercialization, and regional 
economic development. The DOD will use business planning and market 
assessments of needs and capabilities.
    The unsolicited application for support of this activity has been 
accepted by DOE because of what was deemed to be the project's overall 
merit. DOE will benefit by having its training requirements identified 
and integrated with available regional resources. This activity will 
cause the community to properly research and plan for future business 
opportunities, and to diversify the existing economic base in 
preparation of completion of Waste Isolation Plant operations.
    The project period for the award is nine months, expected to begin 
15 days after publication to allow for public comment. DOE plans to 
fund the project in the amount of $300,000.

Energy, Carlsbad Area Office, P.O. Box 3090, Carlsbad, New Mexico
