Motor Challenge Showcase Demonstration Projects
AGENCY: Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of extension for submitting Showcase Demonstration
project proposals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On Friday, October 7, 1994, the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) published a notice inviting participation in Motor Challenge
Showcase Demonstration Projects (59 FR 51186). DOE is interested in
obtaining proposals from industrial electric motor system end users for
projects that are intended to demonstrate and ``showcase'' electric
motor system energy efficiency, productivity, and environmental
improvement in varied industrial or municipal facilities and settings.
Projects selected by DOE will become ``Showcase Demonstrations'' and
are part of a larger, Federally-sponsored (DOE) program that is an
industry-driven collaborative effort called MOTOR CHALLENGE. The
experiences and successful results to be gained from the Showcase
Demonstrations will be used to encourage other U.S. industrial
companies with similar applications to adopt efficient electric motor
systems, and therefore, to increase the market penetration of efficient
electric motor systems on a widespread basis within the U.S. Todays
notice announces an extension for the submission of Motor Challenge
Showcase Demonstration Project proposals.
DATES: The extended dates to guarantee consideration are: preliminary
proposals must be received by March 1, 1995. Preliminary-proposals
shall be considered as meeting the deadline if they are either: (1)
received on or before the deadline date or, (2) postmarked on or before
the deadline date. Preliminary-proposals which do not meet the deadline
will be considered late applications and may not be considered. The
preliminarily-accepted Showcase Demonstrations are projected to be
announced by approximately April, 1995 and will be asked by DOE to
provide final-proposals. The final proposals scheduled due date is
approximately May, 1995. DOE is expected to finalize Showcase
Demonstration project selection by approximately June, 1995. The
initial Showcase Demonstration Workshop is scheduled to take place in
June, 1995. It is envisioned that selected projects will have a
duration of no more than 18 months, and therefore, projects are
expected to be completed (the project's costs and benefits defined and
validated) by November, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Preliminary-proposals and MOTOR CHALLENGE Partnership
applications should be submitted to the MOTOR CHALLENGE Information
Clearinghouse: MOTOR CHALLENGE Information Clearinghouse, P.O. Box
43171, Olympia, Washington 98504-3171
.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To receive further information on the
MOTOR CHALLENGE Partnership, to obtain application forms for the
Partnership, or to make inquiries related to the Showcase Demonstration
projects, call the MOTOR CHALLENGE Hotline at 1-800-862-2086.
Issued in Washington, DC this 22nd day of November, 1994.
