made noncompetitively if the activity to be funded is necessary to the 
satisfactory completion of an activity presently being funded by DOE or 
another federal agency, and for which competition would have a 
significant adverse effect on continuity or completion of the activity, 
AL gives notice of its intent to award a grant with the University of 
Hawaii under the project entitled ``Hydrogen from Renewable 
Resources.'' The public purpose to be served by this award is to 
advance technology in hydrogen production and lightweight hydrogen 
storage. Research includes photobiological production of hydrogen, 
photoelectrochemical production of hydrogen, thermochemical production 
of hydrogen from wet biomass, indenyl polyhydride complexes of hydrogen 
storage, and polyhydride systems engineering. This grant is a 
continuation of work done under a contract between the University of 
Hawaii and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The grant will be 
for three years. The government's funding of this grant is subject to 
the availability of funds.
