Savannah River Operations Office; Financial Assistance Award; Intent to Award a Noncompetitive Cooperative Agreement

Resumen

The DOE announces that it plans to award a renewal cooperative agreement to the University of South Carolina-Aiken (USC-A), 171 University Parkway, Aiken, SC 29801. The cooperative agreement entitled, ``Operation and Maintenance of a Public Reading Room,'' will be extended five years through October 25, 1999, with DOE support of of $414,349, and cost sharing of $14,855 for the period. Funds of $76,982 will be obligated for the first twelve-month budget period. Pursuant to Section 10 CFR Part 600.7(b)(2)(i)(A) of the DOE Assistance Regulations (10 CFR 600), DOE has determined that a noncompetitive modification is appropriate since the activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of an activity presently being funded by DOE and for which competition for support would have a significant adverse effect on continuity.
