limitation, coal, natural gas, oil, shale 

gas, oil gas, coal bed methane, methane 

hydrates, and others, may be included 

in the potential future solicitation. DOE 

is considering including both electrical 

and non-electrical fossil energy use. 

While comments are sought on all 

aspects of the draft solicitation, DOE is 

particularly interested in comments 

regarding the weighting percentage 

allocated to each category for 

evaluations (Programmatic, Technical, 

Policy, and Financial), and the 

categories themselves.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy 

Notice of Intent To Issue a Funding 

Opportunity Announcement; Technical 

Assistance 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Management 

Program, Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to issue a 

funding opportunity announcement. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the 

intent to issue Funding Opportunity 

Announcement (FOA) DE–FOA– 

0000898, tentatively entitled ‘‘Assisting 

Federal Facilities with Energy 

Conservation Technologies’’ (AFFECT), 

subject to available funding. The U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) Federal 

Energy Management Program (FEMP) is 

anticipating the availability of grant 

funding to assist Federal agencies in 

implementing combined heat and power 

(CHP) and renewable energy measures 

in Federal facilities. This notice also is 

to inform Federal agencies of the 

availability of technical assistance in 

advance of the FOA with the planning 

of CHP and renewable measures. 

ADDRESSES: Interested agencies can 

check the DOE Office of Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy 

Funding Opportunity Exchange (EERE 

Exchange) Web site, located at https:// 

eere-exchange.energy.gov for the posting 

of the FOA. Upon release of a FOA, 

applications only will be accepted 

through the EERE Exchange Web site. 

Prospective applicants also may receive 

official notifications and information 

regarding the FOA on the EERE 

Exchange Web site. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

requests for technical assistance 

regarding CHP, please contact David 

Boomsma, U.S. Department of Energy, 

Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Federal Energy 

Management Program (EE–2L), 1000 

Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20585; 202–586–7086;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMP 

works with key individuals to 

accomplish energy change within 

organizations by bringing expertise from 

all levels of project and policy 

implementation to enable Federal 

agencies to meet energy-related goals 

and to provide energy leadership to the 

country. The Federal Government, as 

the nation’s largest energy consumer, 

has a tremendous opportunity and clear 

responsibility to lead by example. FEMP 

is central to this responsibility, guiding 

agencies to use funding more effectively 

in meeting Federal and agency-specific 

energy management objectives. 

Section 152(f) of the Energy Policy 

Act of 1992, Public Law 102–486, 

authorizes the Secretary of Energy to 

establish a Federal Energy Efficiency 

Fund with the stated purpose of 

providing grants to Federal agencies to 

assist them in meeting the energy 

management requirements of the 

National Energy Conservation Policy 

Act (42 U.S.C. 8256(b)). FEMP 

anticipates that the FOA will announce 

the availability of funding from the 

Federal Energy Efficiency Fund, which 

likely will be limited to proposed CHP 

and renewable energy projects that meet 

the energy management requirements of 

the National Energy Conservation Policy 

Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 8253). FEMP 

further anticipates that applications 

would include, at a minimum, a 

preliminary analysis and anticipated 

implementation process for a 

technically and economically viable 

capital project or set of projects. Project 

goals should include the completion of 

CHP or renewable energy projects at 

Federal facilities. 

In conjunction with AFFECT funds 

under the FOA, a Federal agency would 

be expected to demonstrate that it could 

significantly leverage FOA grant funds 

using appropriated funds or alternative 

project financing mechanisms such as 

energy savings performance contracts, 

utility energy service contracts, or 

power purchase agreements. A Federal 

agency also would need to demonstrate 

that the proposed project would lend 

itself to follow-on replication efforts at 

additional Federal facilities. 

The purpose of this Notice of Intent 

is to encourage prospective applicants 

to begin formulating ideas, gathering 

data, and developing opportunities to 

leverage funds in anticipation of the 

issuance of the FOA. 

Additionally, FEMP assists Federal 

agencies in planning and implementing 

energy efficiency and renewable energy 

projects. Assistance provided by FEMP 

includes assistance to Federal agencies 

interested in identifying and analyzing 

CHP and/or renewable energy 

opportunities and technologies in 

advance of the FOA. This technical 

assistance may include pre-screenings 

and/or screenings of potential 

technologies and sites, or possibly other 

forms of assistance. For more 

information on the assistance FEMP can 

provide, please contact the FEMP staff 

identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. Interested 

Federal agencies also can visit http:// 

www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/ 

technologies/renewable_assistance.html 

(although this Web site specifically 

covers renewable energy, similar 

services are available for CHP). 

All Federal agencies are encouraged 

to take advantage of the technical 

assistance offered by FEMP. 

Participation in technical assistance 

offered by FEMP does not guarantee that 

an applicant for the AFFECT grant 

program would be selected, and not 

utilizing FEMP technical assistance 

would not preclude an applicant from 

applying or being selected for AFFECT 

grant funding. FEMP technical 

assistance related to the objectives of the 

AFFECT FOA will only be available to 

Federal agencies up until the release of 

the FOA, which is tentatively scheduled
