DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Financial Assistance Award: Industrial Foam Products, Inc.

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 discretionary financial assistance award 
based on acceptance of an unsolicited application meeting the criteria 
of 10 CFR 600.14(e)(1) under Grant Number DE-FG01-94CE15597 to 
Industrial Foam Products, Inc. The proposed grant will provide funding 
in the estimated amount of $99,950 by the Department of Energy for the 
purpose of saving energy through completion of engineering design for a 
patented invention, ``The GibBAR-WALLTM System (GWS),'' a method 
for constructing insulated concrete walls.

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 Mr. James H. Gibbar, Industrial 
Foam Products, Inc., 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. Mr. James H. Gibbar has 
received three patents and is currently working on a fourth for wall 
systems. 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 18 months from the 
date of award.

    Issued in Washington, DC on April 22, 1994.
Scott Sheffield,
Director Headquarters Operations Division ``B'', Office of Placement 
and Administration.
