AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy.
[[Page 7526]] ACTION: Notice of intent to award a grant based upon an
unsolicited application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Golden Field Office, through
the Chicago Regional Support Office, announces, pursuant to DOE
Financial Assistance Rules, 10 CFR 600.14(f), its intent to award a
grant to The American Institute of Architects (AIA) to coordinate
technical assistance and promote the use of energy efficient and
renewable energy technologies by the village of Pattonsburg, Missouri,
a community that is rebuilding itself after the Midwest floods of 1993.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On June 3, 1994, AIA submitted a proposal to assist the village of
Valmeyer, Illinois, which, like Pattonsburg, is attempting to rebuild
after the 1993 floods. DOE accepted this proposal and awarded AIA a
grant in the amount of $100,000. Subsequently, AIA, DOE and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) jointly agreed to provide similar
assistance to Pattonsburg. $50,000 in DOE funding was provided on
September 30, 1994. DOE and FEMA have entered into an Interagency
Agreement through which FEMA is providing $50,000 to support of the
project. Given the existence of the DOE grant, FEMA and DOE have
jointly agreed that DOE will award and administer the FEMA funds.
The unsolicited application for support of this activity has been
accepted by DOE and FEMA as a result of their joint determination that
the proposed activity is meritorious, likely to be effective and
successful, and offers a unique opportunity to mitigate the damage from
future flood episodes (FEMA), while advancing the DOE mission of
developing and demonstrating the use of energy efficient and renewable
energy technologies in a practical and highly visible setting. The
project period for the award began on July 20, 1994, and is scheduled
to end on June 30, 1995. DOE/FEMA plan to provide funding in the amount
of $50,000. This award will not be made for at least 14 days to allow
for public comment.
