Morgantown Energy Technology Center Financial Assistance 
Solicitation Availability Notice (Cooperative Agreement)

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Morgantown Energy Technology 
Center.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a Financial Assistance Solicitation.

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

SUMMARY: On or about August 2, 1994, The U.S. Department of Energy, 
Morgantown Energy Technology Center, plans to issue a Solicitation for 
Cooperative Agreement Proposal (SCAP) No. DE-SC21-94MC31176 for the 
solicitation of applications in support of research and development 
entitled ``Utility Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS) Technology Readiness 
Testing and Pre-Commercial Demonstration.'' Authority for this action 
is the DOE Organization Act Public Law 95-91 and the DOE Financial 
Assistance Regulations 10 CFR part 600. DOE anticipates multiple awards 
with a project duration of approximately 60 months. DOE plans to make 
available funds totalling $197,000,000 over the project duration; a 
minimum cost share of 35% for the readiness testing effort and 50% for 
the pre-commercial demonstration effort is required.

DATES: Proposals are due 60 days after release of solicitation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Crystal A. Sharp, IO7, U.S. Department 
of Energy, Morgantown Energy Technology Center,

291-4386, Procurement Request No. 21-94MC31176.000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The objective of the project is for 
participants to successfully demonstrate, at full-scale, a highly 
efficient, natural-gas-fired gas turbine system for utility-scale power 
generation. To accomplish this objective, participants shall first show 
(at an appropriate scale) technology readiness of parts and subsystems 
critical to their ATS. Participants will design parts that are critical 
to the ATS and plan and execute tests of components and subsystems to 
prove the technology readiness of the design. Having established 
technology readiness, participants will finalize the design, build the 
ATS at full scale, and demonstrate that the ATS meets performance 
targets. Copies of the SCAP may be obtained by submitting a written 
request to the address provided above. The solicitation package will be 
provided on electronic media utilizing WordPerfect Version 5.1. 
Telephone requests will not be honored. A separate Federal Register 
notice will be issued for Solicitation Number DE-SC21-94MC31173 
research titled ``Industrial Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS) Development 
and Demonstration'' program.
