DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Financial Assistance Award to State of Kentucky
AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of non-competitive financial assistance with the State
of Kentucky.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Pittsburgh Energy
Technology Center (PETC) announces that pursuant to 10 CFR
600.7(b)(2)(i) criteria (C), and in support of the Metairie Site Office
(MSO), it intends to make a Non-Competitive Financial Assistance Award
to the State of Kentucky.
SCOPE: The Department of Energy has determined that the relative
complexity of the oil and gas regulations in the State of Kentucky are
not thoroughly understood by all local operators. It is assumed that a
clearer, simpler guidance document could help these operators comply
with environmental regulations more cost effectively.
In accordance with 10 CFR 600, 7(b)(2)(i) criteria (C), a
noncompetitive Financial Assistance Award to the State of Kentucky,
Division of Oil and Gas has been justified. This effort must be
completed with the validation of the State agencies responsible for the
regulations summarized in the desired guidance document. The Department
of Energy believes that no other organization can guarantee this
required outcome other than the relevant State offices themselves. The
effort is therefore considered suitable for noncompetitive financial
assistance and would not be eligible for financial assistance under a
competitive solicitation.
Department of Energy funding for this research is estimated to be
approximately $75,000 for the 12 month duration of the project. These
funds shall be used to pay for the reasonable cost of staff,
consultants, experts, travel, administrative support personnel,
printing and mailing.
