SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1993,

the Department of Defense, Housing

Facility (DODHF), Novato, California,

was designated for closure pursuant to

the Defense Base Closure and

Realignment Act of 1990, as amended.

Pursuant to this designation, on

December 19, 1994, the majority of the

land and facilities at this installation

were declared surplus to the federal

government and available for use by (a)

non-federal public agencies pursuant to

various statutes which authorize

conveyance of property for public

projects, and (b) homeless provider

groups pursuant to the Stewart B.

McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42

U.S.C. 11411) as amended. Notice of

DODHF surplus property was published

in the Federal Register on March 13,

1995 (60 FR 13415). This notice covered

all physical locations on DODHF, with

the Navy reserving 181 Capehart

Housing Units, 29 Hillside Housing

Units and 25 Knolls Housing Units for

federal agencies (Coast Guard and

Veterans Affairs). Subsequent to the

screening, the Coast Guard submitted a

revised request for property and the

Veterans Affairs withdrew its request

entirely. This resulted in the revision of

the City of Novato’s (Local

Redevelopment Authority) reuse plan

dated October 1995. For clarification

purposes, the following described

property is determined surplus: 181

Capehart Family Housing units; 29

Hillside Family Housing Units.

Pursuant to paragraph (7)(B) of

Section 2905(b) of the Defense Base

Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, as

amended, this notice of surplus

property at the DODHF, Novato,

California, is published in the Federal

Register.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Golden Field Office; Notice of

Solicitation for Financial Assistance

Applications; Clean Cities Program

AGENCY: Golden Field Office,

Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Solicitation for

Financial Assistance Applications

Number DE–PS36–98GO10295.

SUMMARY: Through this solicitation,

DOE is supporting private and/or public

sector efforts to improve the

organizational and business practices of

local Clean Cities coalitions organized

to achieve the Energy Policy Act of 1992

(EPAct) objectives for accelerating the

use of alternative fuels.

To carry the EPAct initiative forward,

DOE’s Clean Cities program has

encouraged the formation of public and

private sector coalitions in major

metropolitan areas throughout the U.S.

for the purposes of working together

cooperatively to expand rapidly both

production and utilization of AFVs and

development of the necessary refueling

infrastructure to support such vehicle

use.

The objective of this scope of work is

to incorporate a collection of

information, communication, planning

and training tools in order to best

support and assist ongoing local Clean

Cities coalition efforts to be effective

organizations in building new markets

for alternative fuels and alternative fuel

vehicles. The services provided by this

cooperative agreement award will assist

local Clean Cities in achieving the

objectives they established through

Memoranda of Understanding with local

partners in each community and DOE.

DATES: The solicitation will be issued on

or about April 17, 1998.

ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the

Solicitation once it is issued, submit a

written request to the U.S. Department

of Energy, Golden Field Office, 1617

Cole Boulevard, Golden, CO, 80401,

Attention: Mr. John Golovach, Contract

Specialist. For convenience, requests for

the Solicitation may be faxed to Mr.

Golovach at (303) 275–4753. The

Solicitation can also be accessed via the

internet at the following address: http:/

/www.eren.doe.gov/golden/solicit.htm.

A list of requestors of the solicitation

will also be published and may be

obtained electronically through the

Golden Field Office Home Page at http:/

/www.eren.doe.gov/golden/solicit.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPAct was

enacted to improve energy security and

urban air quality. The Clean Cities

program was initiated by DOE for the

purposes of fulfilling voluntary

commitment provisions, Section 505 of

EPAct, in order to accelerate the public

and private sector use of alternative fuel

vehicles (AFVs). The Clean Cities

program is a growing national network

of local coalitions that are dependent

upon an integrated information and

training system to remain effective. The

scope of the Clean Cities Program will

require expertise in the following

exemplary areas of support: (a)

Alternative fuels and alternative fuel

vehicles; (b) Alternative fuels and air

quality legislation and regulations; (c)

Knowledge of key members of industry;

(d) Intergovernmental organizations; (e)

Training and curricula development and

materials; (f) Marketing, advertising, and

public outreach; (g) Organizational

planning; and (h) Meetings and

workshop facilitation. Through this

solicitation, the Department of Energy

seeks to support local Clean Cities

partnerships in the following three

general areas of interest: (1) Training

and Outreach to Local Clean Cities; (2)

Public Outreach; and (3) Alternative

Fuel Market Development.
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 73 /Thursday, April 16, 1998 / Notices 18895

1. Training and Outreach to Local

Clean Cities

Prepare training curricula, materials

and conduct up to six educational

workshops in order to strengthen

organizational effectiveness of local

Clean Cities coalitions. Provide

prepared materials (slides and/or

videos, talking points, handouts) in a

fashion that would enable clean cities

coordinators to make condensed

presentations (during local meetings) on

a particular training subject. In essence,

this ‘‘train the trainer approach’’ would

enable more coalition members the

opportunity to participate and learn

about a subject or idea. Training

programs in the following topics are

desired:

A. Financing Vehicle Purchasing,

Infrastructure Development and

Organizational Operations

Work will focus on educating and

training coalitions on techniques for:

financing and raising funds, such as

seeking funding from foundations and

corporations; incorporating as a

nonprofit; grant writing; event planning;

applying for and participating in

Congestion Mitigation Air Quality

programs.

B. Community Organization Outreach

Work will focus on educating and

training coalitions to identify and

develop partnerships with pertinent

local, community organizations, such as

the Lion’s Club, Sierra Club, parent/

teacher associations, American Lung

Association, etc., in order to integrate

alternative fuels’ initiatives into local

community agendas.

C. Public Information Outreach

Work will improve coalitions’ ability

to communicate and present

information to showcase local

alternative fuel achievements. Work will

also include assisting Coalitions to

develop public information and

outreach strategies.

D. Building Organizational Capability

Work will include training coalitions

on how to increase the organizational

capability of local coalitions by

explaining how to establish senior

executive and intern programs and

motivating volunteers to conduct

coalition activities.

E. Strategic Market Development

Work will be directed toward

assisting local coalitions with

establishing strategic market

development plans that identify

available resources—people,

participating company affiliations,

vehicles, refueling stations, corridors,

airports, local laws and incentives; and

then identify gaps to form action plans

that will result in Alternative Fuel

Vehicle (AFV) markets.

2. Public Outreach

Develop and design information

materials to educate the public about

Alternative Fuels and other advanced

transportation technologies. Work

would utilize a variety of electronic and

print formats to develop a coordinated,

comprehensive public information

strategy in conjunction with DOE

regional efforts. Work guidelines would

be developed in conjunction with the

DOE Public Affairs Office in order to

maximize benefit and avoid duplication.

A. Outreach Program

Work would include developing and

placing magazine articles to increase

fleet operators’, fleet owners’, and

general public interest in Clean Cities

and alternative fuels. Work could

include the development of case studies

and general public information

products.

B. Partner Awards

Work would include developing an

award and recognition process that

would generate corporate attention to

Clean Cities objectives. Awards and

recognition would be communicated

utilizing tools developed in (A) above.

C. Public Service Announcements

Work would include developing

appropriate themes on the societal

benefits of driving low emission,

alternative fuel, and fuel efficient

vehicles; creating public service

announcements based on these themes

for print and broadcast media; and

placing these public service

announcements in the appropriate

publications and broadcast media.

D. Middle and High School AFV

Curricula

Work will be to develop and

distribute new and/or build upon

existing educational materials on the

value and benefits of alternative fuel

utilization, current and future AFV

technology, and infrastructure for

incorporation into middle and high

school curricula. Training teachers on

how to use the materials should be part

of the task.

3. Alternative Fuel Market

Development

Work would focus on developing

partnerships in certain, concentrated

market niches demonstrated to be

‘‘critical’’ in the development of a

successful, local AFV market, such as

airports, taxi fleets, school bus fleets,

rental car, and national parks. Work

would include developing an expertise

in each niche; effectively ‘‘tackling’’

problem areas or issues in the market

area; and identifying programs that can

be replicated in other Clean Cities.

Workshops would utilize the

information materials developed. Up to

two workshops per market sector will be

considered.

In response to this solicitation, DOE

expects to make a single award. There

is a potential for additional single year

extensions of this work with additional

future year funds. Additional scope of

work could be negotiated at a later date.

Solicitation number DE–PS36–

98GO10295 will include complete

information on the program including

technical aspects, funding, application

preparation instructions, application

evaluation criteria, and other factors

that will be considered when selecting

projects for funding. No pre-application

conference is planned. Issuance of the

solicitation is planned on or about April

17, 1998, with responses due on May

19, 1998.

Issued in Golden, Colorado, on April 8,

1998.
