DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Grant Award to Prairie View A&M University

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent to make an award based on an unsolicited 
application.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Chicago Field Office, through 
the Dallas Support Office, announces, pursuant to the DOE Financial 
Assistance Rules 10 CFR 600.14(f), that DOE intends to award a grant to 
the Texas Engineering Experiment Station at Prairie View A&M University 
(PVAM), for the implementation of a collaborative program with the 
Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) at Texas A&M University to 
provide the necessary training and support for development of an EADC 
at PVAM.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE announces further that pursuant to 10 
CFR 600.6(a)(2), this discretionary financial assistance award to the 
Texas Engineering Experiment Station at PVAM, would be based on the 
acceptance of an unsolicited application meeting the criteria of 10 CFR 
600.14(e)(1). There are currently no Historically Black Colleges and 
Universities (HBCU) participating in the EADC program. Texas A&M 
University (TAMU) is one of only six EADC program participants that 
have IAC qualifications to conduct the combined industrial assessment 
activities of energy efficiency improvement, waste reduction/pollution 
prevention and productivity improvement. Of the six IACs, TAMU is the 
only institution in close proximity to an Accreditation Board for 
Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited HBCU. The proposed project 
is deemed meritorious based on the general evaluation in accordance 
with DOE 600.14(d) and represents a unique approach that would not be 
eligible for financial assistance under a recent, current, or planned 
solicitation.
    The project period for the grant award is 12 months. DOE plans to 
provide funding in the amount of $62,000.00.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda K. Carter, U.S. Department of 
Energy, Dallas Support Office, 1420 West Mockingbird Lane, suite 400, 
Dallas, TX 75247.
