Financial Assistance Award; Intent To Award Grant to Magnetic

Seal Corporation

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of unsolicited application financial assistance award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10

CFR 600.6(a)(2) it is making a financial assistance award under Grant

Number DE-FG01-94CE15585 to Magnetic Seal Corporation, Inc. The

proposed grant will provide funding in the amount of $90,050 by the

Department of Energy for purposes of saving energy through development

of an interior insulating window using double magnet sealing design.

The Department of Energy has determined in accordance with 10 CFR

600.14(e)(1) that the application submitted by Magnetic Seal

Corporation is meritorious based on the general evaluation required by

10 CFR 600.14(d) and that the proposed project represents a unique idea

that would not be eligible for financial assistance under a recent,

current or planned solicitation. The principal investigator, Mr.

Boomershine, has received U.S. and Canadian patents on his invention

and has experience in developing the new energy saving technology. The

proposed project is not eligible for financial assistance under a

recent, current or planned solicitation because the funding program,

the Energy Related Invention Program (ERIP), has been structured since

its beginning in 1975 to operate without competitive solicitations

because the authorizing legislation directs ERIP to provide support for

worthy ideas submitted by the public. The program has never issued and

has no plans to issue a competitive solicitation.

The anticipated term of the proposed grant is 18 months from the

date of the award.
