Financial Assistance Award; United States Energy Association
AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy, Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE), Pittsburgh Energy Technology
Center, announces that pursuant to 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i) (B) and (D) it
intends to make a Non-Competitive Financial Assistance Award (Grant)
through the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center (PETC) to the United
States Energy Association (USEA). The DOE's role shall be as co-sponsor
along with the International Energy Agency (IEA). The purpose of the
grant is for USEA to organize and conduct the conference on ``The
Strategic Value of Fossil Fuels: Challenges and Responses,'' to be held
in Houston, TX on May 2-4, 1995. The Conference will serve as a forum
to evaluate problems facing the fossil energy community including
energy security, environmental requirements, compliance strategies, R&D
agendas, technology innovation and regulatory issues.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: U.S. Department of Energy, Pittsburgh
Energy Technology Center, Acquisition and Assistance Center, P.O. Box
10940, MS 921-118, Pittsburgh, PA 15236, Attn.: Mary Beth J. Pearse,
Telephone: (412) 892-4949. Comments or inquires should be submitted
within 14 days of the date of this announcement.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The estimated cost to organize and conduct
the conference is $250,000. DOE's funding share will be $100,000. The
objective of the grant (DE-FG22-94PC94024) is to evaluate fossil fuels
and their responsiveness to changing economic, environmental, and
institutional forces, and to develop awareness of emerging trends and
strategies to respond to challenges that may be presented. The
Conference will focus on the entire spectrum of fossil fuels from
initial production and recovery to end-use.
Non-competitive Financial Assistance is warranted based on USEA's
exclusive capability to conduct the conference successfully.
Furthermore, private sector funding will finance the majority of
conference expenses. DOE funding on a non-competitive basis will
enhance the public benefit to be derived from the conference. DOE knows
of no other entity who is planning to conduct a similar conference.
Dated: August 30, 1994.

Contracting Officer.
