**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  DOE published a Request for Comments on Draft Solicitation in the Federal Register on July 9, 2013 (78 FR 41046). Persons desiring to submit comments may do so either in writing according to the directions in that publication or verbally by attending one of the meetings announced in this notice. It is not necessary to do both. All comments, whether submitted in writing or given at a meeting, will be considered. Neither method of commenting will cause comments to be given greater or lesser consideration. However, only United States citizens can attend any of the public meetings. Non-U.S. citizens should provide their comments to the draft solicitation in writing.

Persons attending any of the meetings
should note:

(1) The purpose of the meetings is for
DOE to receive comments on the draft
solicitation. DOE intends to consider all comments (whether provided in writing or at a meeting) prior to issuing the final solicitation. Specific projects will not be addressed by DOE until applications are submitted pursuant to a final solicitation, if any.

(2) Persons other than representatives from DOE may be at any of the meetings.

(3) DOE will take notes of each meeting, including attendees’ names, affiliations, and titles. DOE may publish
those notes on the LPO Web site.

(4) Written materials provided to DOE at any of the meetings may be published
on the LPO Web site.

(5) Arrive no later than thirty minutes prior to the scheduled meeting time in
order to allow sufficient time for security screening.

DOE is considering a potential future
solicitation announcement for Federal
Loan Guarantees for Advanced Fossil Energy Projects. Should DOE choose to proceed which such a solicitation, applicants would be invited to apply for loan guarantees from DOE to finance projects and facilities located in the United States that employ innovative and advanced fossil energy technologies (‘‘Advanced Fossil Energy Projects’’). DOE may make up to Eight Billion Dollars ($8,000,000,000) in loan guarantee authority available under the proposed solicitation for Advanced Fossil Energy Projects. DOE is considering including in any potential future solicitation projects or facilities that (1) Avoid, reduce, or sequester air pollutants or anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases, (2) employ New or Significantly Improved Technology as compared to Commercial Technology in
service in the United States at the time the Term Sheet is issued (as each capitalized term is defined in the regulations implementing Title XVII,


### 44104 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 23, 2013 / Notices

which are set forth in Part 609 under Chapter II of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations), and (3) use advanced fossil energy technology (within the meaning of that term in Section 1703(b)(2) of Title XVII) and are
described in one or more of the following technology areas: (a) Advanced resource development, (b) carbon capture, (c) low-carbon power systems, or (d) efficiency improvements. DOE is assuming that the scope of any potential solicitation would be broad. All fossil fuels, including, without 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.

Statutory authority: Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 U.S.C. 16511 et seq.).

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 16,

2013.

**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; david.boomsma@ee.doe.gov. For requests for technical assistance regarding renewable energy measures, please contact Boyan Kovacic, 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–

4272; boyan.kovacic@ee.doe.gov.

**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
