SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of

that the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) provide interested

Federal agencies and the public an early

opportunity to comment on information

collection requests. OMB may amend or

waive the requirement for public

consultation to the extent that public

participation in the approval process

would defeat the purpose of the

information collection, violate State or

Federal law, or substantially interfere

with any agency’s ability to perform its

statutory obligations. The Director,

Information Resources Management

Group publishes this notice containing

proposed information collection

requests prior to submission of these

requests to OMB. Each proposed

information collection, grouped by

office, contains the following: (1) Type

of review requested, e.g., new, revision,

extension, existing or reinstatement; (2)

Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4)

Description of the need for, and

proposed use of, the information; (5)

Respondents and frequency of

collection; and (6) Reporting and/or

Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites

public comment at the address specified

above. Copies of the requests are

available from Patrick J. Sherrill at the

address specified above.

The Department of Education is

especially interested in public comment

addressing the following issues: (1) is

this collection necessary to the proper

functions of the Department, (2) will

this information be processed and used

in a timely manner, (3) is the estimate

of burden accurate, (4) how might the

Department enhance the quality, utility,

and clarity of the information to be

collected, and (5) how might the

Department minimize the burden of this

collection on the respondents, including

through the use of information

technology.

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Technology Center;

Notice of Intent to Issue a Program

Research and Development

Announcement (PRDA)

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE),

Federal Energy Technology Center

(FETC).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the

intent to issue a PRDA No. DE–RA26–

98FT35008 entitled ‘‘Global Climate

Change—Novel Concepts for

Management of Greenhouse Gases.’’ The

PRDA will solicit the submission of

innovative, ‘‘pathbreaking’’ concepts to

sequester and recycle greenhouse gases,

and bring those concepts to a stage of

technical development sufficient to

prove validity on an engineering scale.

Specifically, the objective of the

procurement is the development of

novel, less costly concepts to sequester

and recycle greenhouse gases which

include ways to reuse, or store

greenhouse gases or their conversion

products.

DATES: Requests for information

concerning the solicitation should be

submitted in writing at the address in

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section, by facsimile at 304/285–4683,

or by E-mail to

raymond.jarr@fetc.doe.gov. Telephone

requests for the solicitation package will

not be accepted.

ADDRESSES: Acquisition and Assistance

Division, U.S. Department of Energy,

Federal Energy Technology Center, P.O.

Box 880, Morgantown, WV 26507–0880.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Raymond R. Jarr, Contracting Officer,

U.S. Department of Energy, Federal

Energy Technology Center, P.O. Box

880, Morgantown, WV 26507–0880;

Telephone (304) 285–4088.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

concepts can include chemical or

biological conversion methods, as well

as, physical storage. The greenhouse

gases of interest are CO2, CH4, and N2O

associated with the production and use

of fossil fuels. Science-based, less costly

concepts are sought which are broadly

applicable and potentially able to

reduce emissions well below those

resulting from increased efficiency of

fossil-fuel use. In addition, fundamental

work prior to development of

pathbreaking technologies is acceptable.

Sequestration is a very broad term

which encompasses a variety of ways to

recycle or store the gas, or the carbon

from the gases, in a form that will

remain stable for centuries. Recycling

refers to the ability to reuse carbon

contained in fossil fuels or in the

atmosphere and thus, avoid the further

combustion of fossil fuels.

Awards resulting from the solicitation

will be divided into three Phases. Phase

I involves a technical and preliminary

economic assessment of proposed

concept; Phase II involves laboratoryand bench-scale development of the

proposed technology; and Phase III

involves pilot or larger scale testing to

bring the technology to an engineering

scale. An industrial company will be

required to perform at least 30 percent

of the effort in Phase III. Offerors are

encouraged to seek additional sources of

funding for any or all phases. Multiple

awards are expected for Phase I with a

competitive down selection process

occurring at the completion of Phases I

and II.

The solicitation will be available

upon written request to FETC or on the

Internet at http://www.fetc.doe.gov/

business/solicita.html. Those

prospective offerors who obtain a copy

of the solicitation through the Internet

should check the location frequently for

any solicitation amendments. Those

prospective offerors who request in

writing a copy of the solicitation will

receive an electronic version of the

solicitation on diskette in a WordPerfect

6.1 format. Solicitations will not be

distributed in paper form. Requests for

information concerning the solicitation

should be submitted in writing at the

address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section, by facsimile at

304/285–4683, or by E-mail to

raymond.jarr@fetc.doe.gov. All requests

should reference the PRDA solicitation

number and title, and should include a

point-of-contact at the requestor’s

location. Telephone requests for the

solicitation package will not be

accepted. The solicitation will be

available on or about September 1, 1997.

The exact date and time for the

submission of proposals will be

indicated in the solicitation. However,

at least a sixty day response time is

currently planned. It is DOE’s desire to

encourage the widest participation

including the involvement of small

business concerns, and small

disadvantaged business concerns. As a

consequence, Phase I of this

procurement is a partial set-aside.

Subsequent down selections at the end

of Phases I and II will not include

partial set-aside preferences. In

accordance with FAR 52.232–18,

‘‘Availability of Funds,’’ funds are not

presently available for this procurement.

The Government’s obligation under this

contract is contingent upon the
