Bonneville Power Administration 

Availability of the Bonneville 

Purchasing Instructions (BPI) and 

Bonneville Financial Assistance 

Instructions (BFAI) 

AGENCY: Bonneville Power 

Administration (BPA), DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of document availability. 

SUMMARY: Copies of the Bonneville 

Purchasing Instructions (BPI), which 

contain the policy and establish the 

procedures that BPA uses in the 

solicitation, award, and administration 

of its purchases of goods and services, 

including construction, are available in 

printed form or at the following Internet 

address: http://www.bpa.gov/corporate/

business/bpi. 

Copies of the Bonneville Financial 

Assistance Instructions (BFAI), which 

contain the policy and establish the 

procedures that BPA uses in the 

solicitation, award, and administration 

of financial assistance instruments 

(principally grants and cooperative 

agreements), are available in printed 

form or available at the following 

Internet address: http://www.bpa.gov/

corporate/business/bfai. 

ADDRESSES: Unbound copies of the BPI 

or BFAI may be obtained by sending a 

request to the Head of the Contracting 

Activity, Routing CGP–7, Bonneville 

Power Administration, P.O. Box 3621, 

Portland, Oregon 97208–3621. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Head of Contracting Activity (503) 230– 

5498. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BPA was 

established in 1937 as a Federal Power 

Marketing Agency in the Pacific 

Northwest. BPA operations are financed 

from power revenues rather than annual 

appropriations. BPA’s purchasing 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 832 et seq. and related statutes. 

Pursuant to these special authorities, the 

BPI is promulgated as a statement of 

purchasing policy and as a body of 

interpretative regulations governing the 

conduct of BPA purchasing activities. It 

is significantly different from the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation, and 

reflects BPA’s private sector approach to 

purchasing the goods and services that 

it requires. BPA’s financial assistance 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 839 et seq. and 16 U.S.C. 839 et 

seq. The BFAI express BPA’s financial 

assistance policy. The BFAI also 

comprise BPA’s rules governing 

implementation of the principles 

provided in the following Federal 

Regulations and/or OMB circulars: 

2 CFR part 220 Cost Principles for 

Educational Institutions (CircularA–21); 

2 CFR part 225 Cost Principles for 

State, Local and Indian Tribal 

Governments (Circular A–87); 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

with State and Local Governments 

(Circular A–102); 

Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for Grants and 

Agreements with Institutions of Higher 

Education, Hospitals and Other NonProfit Organizations (Circular A–110); 

2 CFR part 230 Cost Principles for 

Non-Profit Organizations (Circular A– 

122); and 

Audits of States, Local Governments 

and Non-Profit Organizations (Circular 

A–133) 

BPA’s solicitations and contracts 

include notice of applicability and 

availability of the BPI and the BFAI, as 

appropriate, for the information for 

offerors on particular purchases or 

financial assistance transactions.

DOE Materials-Based Hydrogen 

Storage Summit: Defining Pathways 

for Onboard Automotive Applications 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice of public workshop. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

public workshop for interested parties 

to learn about recent results from DOE’s 

materials-based hydrogen storage 

system modeling efforts. In addition, 

DOE intends to gather input from 

workshop participants to identify 

hydrogen storage material development 

pathways and potential future areas of 

research. This input will be used to help 

guide future activities for the DOE 

Hydrogen Storage Program. 

DATES: The workshop will be held 

Tuesday, January 27, 2015 from 8:30 

a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesday, January 

28, 2015 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 

National Renewable Energy Laboratory 

(NREL) in conjunction with the DOE 

Fuel Cell Technologies Office’s 

Hydrogen Storage Program (http://

energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/11/f19/

fcto_myrdd_storage.pdf), will host a 

public workshop titled: DOE Materialsbased Hydrogen Storage Summit: 

Defining Pathways for Onboard 

Automotive Applications. 

Recent analysis efforts, including 

results from the Hydrogen Storage 

Engineering Center of Excellence, 

identified the material-level 

characteristics required to meet the DOE 

system-level performance targets. These 

results show that although the DOE has 

invested extensively in hydrogen 

storage materials development, no 

material has been identified that, when 

incorporated into a complete system, 

can meet the challenging DOE 

performance targets. 

Fuel cell electric vehicles are being 

introduced commercially today. 

Therefore, if materials-based storage 

technologies are to be employed on 

consumer vehicles in the future, it is 

imperative that the development of 

hydrogen storage materials be 

accelerated and efforts focused on 

pathways with the highest probability of 

success. Through an understanding of 

the material characteristics needed to 

meet system performance targets, it is 

expected that material development 

strategies can be optimized to meet the 

DOE hydrogen storage targets. 

In summary, this workshop will serve 

two main objectives: 

(1) Disseminate recent results from 

DOE Hydrogen Storage system modeling 

efforts and discuss their implications on 

hydrogen storage materials development 

efforts. 

(2) Gather input from meeting 

participants to identify hydrogen storage 

materials development pathways and 

potential future areas of research which 

will lead to the highest probability of 

success. This input will be used to help 

guide future activities for the DOE 

Hydrogen Storage Program.

the workshop including the current 

agenda. 

To register, please visit: http://www.

nrel.gov/ap/h2-storage-summit/. Please 

note that registration is required for all 

meeting attendees. Cash or check 

payment of $75 will be collected on the 

morning of the first day of the meeting.

2014, Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC 

(Sabal Trail), 5400 Westheimer Court, 

Houston, TX 77056, filed an application 

under section 7(c) of the Natural Gas 

Act, requesting authorization to 

construct, own, and operate a new 500- 

mile natural gas pipeline system (Sabal 

Trail Project), including 209,900 

horsepower at five compressor stations, 

metering and regulating stations, and 

appurtenant facilities in Alabama, 

Georgia, and Florida. Sabal Trail also 

requests a certificate of public

lease from Transcontinental Gas Pipe 

Line Company, LLC (Transco) the 

incremental firm capacity that will be 

created by Transco’s proposed Hillabee 

Expansion Project (Docket No. CP15– 

16–000). Sabal Trail also requests a 

blanket certificate pursuant to Part 157, 

Subpart F of the Commission’s 

regulations, authorizing Sabal Trail to 

construct, operate, acquire and abandon 

certain facilities as described in Part 

157, Subpart F, and a blanket certificate 

pursuant to Part 284, Subpart G of the 

Commission’s regulations, authorizing 

Sabal Trail to provide open-access firm 

and interruptible interstate natural gas 

transportation services on a selfimplementing basis with pre-granted 

abandonment for such services, all as 

more fully set forth in the application 

which is on file with the Commission 

and open for public inspection. The 

filing may also be viewed on the web at
