Award Based on Acceptance of an Unsolicited Application 
Activities to Enhance the Transfer of Pollution Prevention Research 
Information Among Funders and Researchers Throughout North America

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Noncompetitive Financial Assistance Award.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Golden Field Office, through 
the Seattle Support Office, announces that pursuant to DOE Financial 
Assistance Rules 10 CFR 600.14(f), DOE intends to award a grant to 
Pacific Northwest Pollution Prevention Research Center (PPRC) for 
Activities to Enhance Researchers Throughout North America. The 
anticipated overall objective is to support specific industry-related 
activity in the areas of pollution prevention research.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PPRC proposes to build a public-private 
partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy to support specific 
industry-related activity in the areas of pollution prevention 
research. The specific objectives of the PPRC are:
    (1) To develop and maintain a national clearinghouse for Requests 
for Proposals (RFPs) on pollution prevention research in order to 
attract more qualified researchers in the field.
    (2) To conduct a detailed analysis of funding organizations, to 
better educate both funders and grant seekers on organizational 
priorities and current activities.
    (3) To expand the PPRC database of current and recent research 
projects in order to avoid wasteful duplication of research efforts and 
stimulate interest in project results.
    (4) To publish and disseminate a comprehensive resource guide to 
pollution prevention research funding, to encourage proposals and 
publicize funding programs.
    Therefore, the grant application is being accepted because DOE 
knows of no other organization that is conducting or planning to 
conduct this type of effort in pollution prevention.
    The project period for the grant award is 12-months, expected to 
begin in June 1994. DOE plans to provide funding in the amount of 
$45,000 for this project period.

Energy, Seattle Support Office, 800 Fifth Avenue, suite 3950, Seattle,
