DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Financial Assistance Award: Intent To Award a Cooperative
Agreement to Florida State University
AGENCY: Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of Non-Competitive Financial Assistance Award.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy announces that, pursuant to 10 CFR
600.6(a)(5), it is making a discretionary financial assistance award
based on the criteria set forth at 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(A) to Florida
State University under Cooperative Agreement Number DE-FC01-94EW54106.
The subject Cooperative Agreement will be for a three-year project
period and a total estimated amount of $750,000. Under this Cooperative
Agreement the Center for Biomedical and Toxicological Research and
Hazardous Waste Management at Florida State University will initiate a
comprehensive program which will involve the identification and
independent evaluation of (1) innovative technologies that are either
currently being utilized in environmental remediation efforts conducted
by, or in development by, Federal and State agencies, and private
United States organizations; and (2) innovative technologies for
environmental restoration which are under development abroad.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy has determined, in
accordance with 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(A), that a noncompetitive award
to Florida State University is necessary for the satisfactory
completion of, or continuation or renewal of, an activity presently
being funded by the Department of Energy or another Federal agency, and
for which competition for support would have a significant adverse
effect on continuity or completion of the activity. Florida State
University has been involved in a cooperative research and development
program with the United States Environmental Protection Agency that
focused on hazardous waste characterization and monitoring of RCRA
hazardous waste sites. In addition, Florida State University has been
under an agreement with Sandia National Laboratories to develop a
prototype model for enhancing the technology transfer process,
particularly with reference to environmental technology development in
Central and Eastern Europe. The above studies are ongoing, with large
research staffs already in place and working; any attempt to compete
support for these studies would result in a significant disruption of
the studies. The proposed cooperative agreement will allow these
efforts to continue unimpeded, and hence realize the maximum public
benefit. The Florida State Center for Biomedical and Toxicological
Research and Hazardous Waste Management has the extensive experience
necessary to enhance the technology transfer, both import and export,
of innovative and emerging technologies dealing with site
characterization, remediation, monitoring and waste management, thereby
forging linkages for all affected stakeholder groups. The Department of
Energy has determined in accordance with 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(A), that
the award of this non-competitive Cooperative Agreement to Florida
State University is in the public interest.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please write the U.S. Department of
Energy, Office of Placement and Administration, Attn: Michael Whisler,
HR-531.24, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585.
The anticipated term of the proposed cooperative agreement is 36
months from award date.
Linda Strand,
Acting Director, Headquarters Operations Division B, Office of
Placement and Administration.
