DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Chicago Operations Office; Notice of Federal Assistance Award to
Center for Waste Reduction Technologies American Institute of Chemical
Engineers
AGENCY: Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of Noncompetitive Financial Assistance Award.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the DOE
Financial Assistance Rules, 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2), is announcing its
intention to award a cooperative agreement on a non-competitive basis
to the Center for Waste Reduction Technologies (CWRT) of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) for work involving research and
development, collaborative workshops, technology transfer and education
which are supportive of and complementary to the Office of Industrial
Technologies (OIT) programs at DOE. The OIT programs seek to improve
energy efficiency and waste reduction in the nation's industrial
sector. This is not a notice for solicitation of proposals or financial
assistance applications.
ADDRESSES: Questions regarding this announcement may be addressed to
the U.S. Department of Energy, Chicago Operations Office, 9800 S. Cass
Ave., Argonne, IL 60439, Attention: Ms. Patricia J. Schuneman,
Contracting Officer.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The AIChE has established the CWRT to
develop and implement technologies which will increase energy
efficiency and reduce waste in the chemical industry. The membership of
the CWRT includes chemical producers, refiners, manufacturers and
chemical industry engineering and service contractors. The CWRT,
through its chemical industry partners, sponsors research and
development, and educational and technology transfer activities in
support of these objectives. Through the proposed Cooperative
Agreement, DOE will participate with CWRT in selecting and supporting
research and development on technologies which have broad applicability
to the process/manufacturing sector, with particular interest in the
chemical and refining industries. In all cases, the emphasis will be on
supporting research that advances generic technology solutions on which
commercial technologies will subsequently be based. DOE will
participate with CWRT in conducting industry based workshops to
identify the highest priority areas for research and development. DOE
and CWRT will also disseminate the results of the research through the
workshops, and through cooperative activities with universities in
engineering curriculum development.
In accordance with 10 CFR 600.7, it has been determined that the
activity to be funded meets the criterion for noncompetitive financial
assistance in that it will be conducted by the CWRT using its own
resources and those provided by private industry, but support provided
by DOE will enhance the public benefits to be derived.
Funding in the amount of approximately $3,000,000 is to be provided
by the DOE, with CWRT providing approximately $6,000,000. The
anticipated term of the proposed cooperative agreement will be forty-
eight months from the effective date of the award.
Issued in Chicago, Illinois, on August 3, 1994.
