SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PICHTR, Honolulu, Hawaii has been conducting 
research, funded by the DOE, for a number of years to develop cost 
effective methods to produce energy from biomass. The program has 
resulted in construction of a biomass gasification facility that can 
produce either a gaseous fuel for use in generating electricity or to 
produce an alcohol fuel for vehicular use. This effort will involve 
various activities focused on commercialization of alcohol powered 
vehicles in order to most effectively use the fuel to be produced.
    DOE has performed a review in accordance with 10 CFR 600.7 and has 
made a determination of restricted eligibility pursuant to 10 CFR 
600.7(b)(2)(i)(B). Subject to eligibility determinations, the 
Department of Energy intends to make a financial assistance award to 
PICHTR to undertake this activity.
    The total project is estimated to cost $600,000 of which $300,000 
will be provided by the participant and $300,000 will be provided by 
DOE. The anticipated period of performance is twelve (12) months.
