DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Financial Assistance Award: Dr. Michael Whalen-Shaw

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 
CFR 600.6(a)(2) it is making a financial assistance award under Grant 
Number DE-FG01-94CE15602 to Dr. Michael Whalen-Shaw. The proposed grant 
will provide funding in the estimated amount of $99,858 by the 
Department of Energy for the purpose of saving energy through 
development of his replacement of thermally produced calcined clay with 
chemically structured pigments and methods for same.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please write the U.S. Department of 
Energy, Office of Placement and Administration, Attn: Rose Mason, HR-
531.23, 1000 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20585.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy has determined in 
accordance with 10 CFR 600.14(e)(1) that the unsolicited application 
for financial assistance submitted by Dr. Michael Whalen-Shaw is 
meritorious based on the general evaluation required by 10 CFR 
600.14(d) and the proposed project represents a unique idea that would 
not be eligible for financial assistance under a recent, current or 
planned solicitation. The principal investigator and inventor has eight 
patents in paper coatings and related areas. The proposed project is 
not eligible for financial assistance under a recent, current or 
planned solicitation because the funding program, the Energy Related 
Invention Program (ERIP), has been structured since its beginning in 
1975 to operate without competitive solicitations because the 
authorizing legislation directs ERIP to provide support for worthy 
ideas submitted by the public. The program has never issued and has no 
plans to issue a competitive solicitation.
    The anticipated term of the proposed grant is 24 months from the 
date of award.

    Issued in Washington, DC on March 30, 1994.
Arnold A. Gjerstad,
Acting Director, Headquarters Operations Division ``B'', Office of 
Placement and Administration.
