概要

The Department of Energy today solicits financial contributions from non-Federal sources to at least match $4,000,000 in Federal funding, in support of the national, comprehensive Electric and Magnetic Field Effects Research and Public Information Dissemination Program, described in the Notice of Intent to Solicit Non-Federal Contributions, published November 9, 1993 (58 FR 59461). Section 2118 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13475) requires the Department of Energy to solicit funds from non-Federal sources to offset at least 50 percent of the total funding for all activities under this program. Section 2118 also precludes the Department of Energy from obligating funds for program activities in any fiscal year unless funds received from non-Federal sources are available in an amount at least equal to 50 percent of the amount appropriated by Congress. Appropriations for expenditure under section 2118 have been enacted under the Energy and Water Development Appropriation Act, 1997 (Pub. Law 104-206) in the amount of $4,000,000 for fiscal year 1997.
