    ACTION: Notice.

    SUMMARY: DOE announces that pursuant to 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i), it 
    intends to issue on a noncompetitive basis a grant to Vanderbilt 
    University, Nashville, TN, to continue providing academic training and 
    sufficient on-the-job training to interns to enable them to function as 
    professionals in environmental remediation and waste treatment 
    resulting from the decontamination and decommissioning of nuclear 
    facilities. The period of performance for the grant will be three 
    years. The estimated cost is $833,973. First year funding will be 
    $150,000.
    
    procurement request no.: 05-940R22343.000.
    
    project scope: Vanderbilt University's May 27, 1994 application is for 
    continuation of effort begun on a previous grant. This internship 
    program provides six people a year with the proper academic training 
    and sufficient on-the-job training to enable them to function as 
    professionals in environmental remediation and waste treatment 
    resulting from the decontamination and decommissioning of nuclear 
    facilities. The grant, which supports the Student Assisted Remediation 
    Program in Environmental Management, plays a major role in meeting the 
    objective of providing young, trained personnel to enter the fields of 
    environmental remediation and waste treatment. At the end of the first 
    year of academic work, the students are assigned for three months to a 
    DOE-owned contractor-operated facility or to a DOE prime contractor to 
    gain first-hand experience in the field. To date, most of the 
    graduating students have chosen to work in the areas for which they 
    have trained, thereby meeting the primary objective of the program. In 
    view of the nation's environmental consciousness related to cleanup of 
    Department of Energy facilities, it is clear that the increase in the 
    number of skilled personnel trained in environmental remediation and 
    waste treatment as a result of the Vanderbilt University Internship 
    Program will aid in strengthening the Department's position of assuring 
    that contaminated site are properly decontaminated and decomissioned in 
    an efficient and timely manner. In order to maintain continuity of a 
    long-range program that began in 1984, eligibility for this award is 
    restricted to Vanderbilt University.
