Financial Assistance Award; Energy Efficiency Export Council

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Noncompetitive Financial Assistance Award.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(D), the U.S. Department of 
Energy (DOE) Region I Support Office, through the Golden Field Office, 
intends to award a grant to the Energy Efficiency Export Council (EEEC) 
to complete a series of tasks related to export promotion of U.S. 
energy efficiency products and services. The EEEC efforts are on behalf 
of and in collaboration with the Committee on Energy Efficiency 
Commerce and Trade (COEECT). COEECT functions as the Federal 
Interagency Working Subgroup on Energy Efficiency established by 
Section 1207 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, H.R. 776 (EPACT).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposal, which was negotiated with the 
DOE, Office of Technical Assistance (OTA), establishes funding for 
tasks related to increasing the export of U.S. energy efficiency 
products and services to be completed by the Energy Efficiency Export 
Council (EEEC). EEEC is made up of five non-profits: the Alliance to 
Save Energy, the International Institute for Energy Conservation, the 
National Association of State Energy Officials, the National 
Association of Energy Service Companies and the Solar Energy Industries 
Association. Tasks to be completed include: (1) a series of national 
and regional meetings to educate the U.S. energy efficiency industry 
about how to export; (2) energy efficiency market assessments in 
developing and transitional countries i.e. Chile and also Mexico or 
Russia and advanced marketing of U.S. energy efficiency products and 
services; (3) publications to provide guidance on exporting to the 
energy efficiency industry; and (4) assessment of the economic 
feasibility of performance contracts in Russia. The completion of these 
tasks should result in an increase in exports of U.S. energy efficiency 
products and services. Total funding is $580,000.
    Noncompetitive financial assistance to EEEC is in accordance with 
the justifying criteria presented in 10 CFR 600. The DOE/OTA has 
determined that EEEC has exclusive domestic capability to represent and 
interact with the U.S. energy efficiency products and services 
industry, and, is, therefore, uniquely capable to fulfill many aspects 
of the mission established for the COEECT by Section 1207 of EPACT.
