Description
Amendment 001 replaces the original FOA posted on
3/6/2009 and contains
multiple changes. Applicants should follow the instructions outlined in
Amendment 001.
The FOA has been revised to provide some additional technical details as
well
as clarify the registration process.
As a result, the following sections have been revised 1) Section I-Funding
Opportunity Description 2) Section IV-Application and Submission
Information,
and 3) Section V-Application Review Information.
Since these changes do not effect the overall objectives of the FOA, the
closing date for receipt of applications remains unchanged.

PUBLIC ANSWERS, AND RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF FUTURE UPDATES AND AMENDMENTS
TO
THE FOA.
The purpose of this work is to develop, populate, manage, and maintain a
Smart
Grid Information Clearinghouse website (i.e. the Clearinghouse). The
Clearinghouse is envisioned as the first-stop shop for public Smart Grid
information. It will contain technical, legislative, and other information
on
Smart Grid development and practices. It will also direct website users to
other sources for additional information; both sources in the United States
and
those from other nations leading in Smart Grid development and
implementation.
Through direct sharing and dissemination of information on knowledge
gained,
lessons learned, and best practices, the Clearinghouse will serve to
promote
and facilitate coordination and collaboration in Smart Grid development and
practices. It will also serve as a decision support tool for both State
and
Federal Regulators, serve as a public forum for information outreach to all
interested parties including the general public, and in general, will
support
the advancement of the Smart Grid for the benefit of the United States.
All questions must be submitted through FedConnect. Application
