Abstract: The Teacher Education 

Assistance for College and Higher 

Education (TEACH) Grant program is a 

non-need-based grant program that 

provides up to $4,000 per year to 

students who are enrolled in an eligible 

program and who agree to teach in a 

high-need field, at a low-income 

elementary or secondary school for at 

least four years within eight years of 

completing the program for which the 

TEACH Grant was awarded. The 

TEACH Grant program regulations are 

required to ensure accountability of the 

program participants, both institutions 

and student recipients, for proper 

program administration, to determine 

eligibility to receive program benefits 

and to prevent fraud and abuse of 

program funds. The regulations include 

both record-keeping and reporting 

requirements. The record-keeping by the 

school allows for review of compliance 

with the regulation during on-site 

institutional reviews. The Department 

uses the required reporting to allow for 

close-out of institutions that are no 

longer participating or who lose 

eligibility to participate in the program.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Notice of Public Meeting of the 

Supercritical CO2 Oxy-combustion 

Technology Group 

AGENCY: National Energy Technology 

Laboratory, Office of Fossil Energy, 

Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: The National Energy 

Technology Laboratory (NETL) will host 

a public meeting via WebEx December 

11, 2017, of the Supercritical CO2 Oxycombustion Technology Group, to 

address challenges associated with oxycombustion systems in directly heated 

supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power cycles. 

DATES: The public meeting will be held 

on December 11, 2017, from 1:00 p.m. 

to 3:00 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be 

held via WebEx and hosted by NETL. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information regarding the public 

meeting, please contact Seth Lawson or 

Walter Perry at NETL by telephone at 

(304) 285–4469, by email at 

Seth.Lawson@netl.doe.gov, 

Walter.Perry@netl.doe.gov, or by postal 

mail addressed to National Energy 

Technology Laboratory, 3610 Collins 

Ferry Road, P.O. Box 880, Morgantown, 

WV 26507–0880. Please direct all media 

inquiries to the NETL Public Affairs 

Officer at (304) 285–0228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Instructions and Information on the 

Public Meeting 

The public meeting will be held via 

WebEx. The public meeting will begin 

at 1:00 p.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. 

Agenda details will be available prior to 

the meeting on the NETL Web site, 

https://www.netl.doe.gov/events/sco2- 

tech-group. Interested parties may 

RSVP, to confirm their participation and 

receive login instructions, by emailing 

Seth.Lawson@netl.doe.gov. 

The objective of the Supercritical CO2

Oxy-combustion Technology Group is to 

promote a technical understanding of 

oxy-combustion for direct-fired sCO2

power cycles by sharing information or 

viewpoints from individual participants 

regarding risk reduction and challenges 

associated with developing the 

technology. 

Oxy-combustion systems in directly 

heated supercritical CO2 (SCO2) power 

cycles utilize natural gas or syngas oxycombustion systems to produce a high 

temperature SCO2 working fluid and 

have the potential to be efficient, cost 

effective and well-suited for carbon 

dioxide (CO2) capture. To realize the 

benefits of direct fired SCO2 power 

cycles, the following challenges must be 

addressed: Chemical kinetic 

uncertainties, combustion instability, 

flowpath design, thermal management, 

pressure containment, definition/ 

prediction of turbine inlet conditions, 

ignition, off-design operation, transient 

capabilities, in-situ flame monitoring, 

and modeling, among others. 

The format of the meeting will 

facilitate equal opportunity for 

discussion among all participants; all 

participants will be welcome to speak. 

Following a detailed presentation by 

one volunteer participant regarding 

lessons learned from his or her area of 

research, other participants will be 

provided the opportunity to briefly 

share lessons learned from their own 

research. Meetings are expected to take 

place every other month with a different 

volunteer presenting at each meeting. 

Meeting minutes shall be published for 

those who are unable to attend. 

This meeting is considered ‘‘open-tothe-public;’’ the purpose for this 

meeting has been examined during the 

planning stages, and NETL management 

has made specific determinations that 

affect attendance. All information 

presented at this meeting must meet 

criteria for public sharing or be 

published and available in the public 

domain. Participants should not 

communicate information that is 

considered official use only, 

proprietary, sensitive, restricted or 

protected in any way. Foreign nationals, 

who may be present, have not been 

approved for access to DOE information 

and technologies.
