BILLING CODE 6450–01–P

Oak Ridge Operations Office;

Determination of Noncompetitive

Financial Assistance

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

Energy (DOE). Oak Ridge Operations

Office, pursuant to 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2),

announces its intent to issue on a

noncompetitive basis a renewal award

to the United States Automotive

Materials Partnership (USAMP) for a

project entitled, ‘‘Automotive

Lightweight Materials Program’’.

USAMP is a consortium of Chrysler

Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and

General Motors Corporation. The period

of performance for this project is four

years with operating funds in the

amount of $15,000,000 being allocated

for this effort. These funds will be

matched equally by USAMP under this

cooperative agreement.

PROCUREMENT REQUEST NO.: 05–

96OR22363.001.

PROJECT SCOPE: The USAMP mission is

to continue to define and conduct precompetitive, vehicle-related research

and development (R&D) in materials

and materials processing which will

improve the competitiveness of the U.S.

automotive industry. USAMP goals are

to develop several families of

automotive materials that will impact

strategic needs of the industry. These

needs include improved fuel economy

through vehicle weight reduction,

improved reliability and durability,

reduced friction, noise and vibration,

lower cost materials and manufacturing

processes, flexibility of design and

styling, and reduced emissions. The

project participants, including Chrysler,

Ford, General Motors, and their

suppliers, are making available for this

effort their internal automotive R&D

facilities, as well as demonstration

facilities in manufacturing operations

and at suppliers. These capabilities are

world class and cannot be matched and/

or duplicated except at other automotive

manufacturer R&D sites. The recipient’s

resources, capabilities, facilities, and

situation in the private sector are

unsurpassed. There exists no other

similar company or consortium with the

capabilities and supplier base with

which to competitively bid this work.

Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR

600.7(b)(2)(i), it has been determined

that the activity to be funded is

necessary for the satisfactory

completion of an activity that will

enhance the public benefit derived and

for which competition would have a

significant adverse effect on completion

of the activity. In addition, based upon

the consortium partner’s and their

supplier’s unique facilities, equipment,

proprietary data, and technical

expertise, the recipient has exclusive

domestic capability to perform the

activities successfully. Eligibility for

renewal of this award is, therefore,

restricted to USAMP.

Savannah River Operations Office;

Interim Management of Nuclear

Materials at Savannah River Site

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Record of decision and notice of

preferred alternatives.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

Energy (DOE) prepared a final

environmental impact statement (EIS),

‘‘Interim Management of Nuclear

Materials’’, (DOE/EIS–0220, October 20,

1995) to assess the potential

environmental impacts of actions

necessary to manage nuclear materials

at the Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken,

South Carolina, until decisions on their

ultimate disposition are made and

implemented. The actions evaluated in

the EIS would stabilize SRS materials

that represent environment, safety and

health vulnerabilities in their current

storage condition or which may

represent a vulnerability within the next

10 years. These vulnerabilities are the

result of the suspension of nuclear

materials production and processing

operations which accompanied the end

of the Cold War. Although DOE has

initiated programmatic and project

specific environmental evaluations on

the ultimate disposition of the nuclear

materials in the DOE complex which are
