The full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is posted in FedConnect,
and is
found by going to
https://www.fedconnect.net and clicking on ¿Search Public Opportunities¿.
Under ¿Search Criteria¿, select ¿Issuing Office¿, enter ¿Golden Field

Announcement. In order to be considered for award, you MUST follow the
instructions contained in the Announcement.
The Department of Energy is soliciting applications from industry members
or
industry-led partnerships that propose to develop, deploy, and test
hydropower
projects that would modernize the existing hydropower infrastructure in the
U.S. and increase both the quantity and value of hydropower generation,
including environmental performance. The program will focus on supporting
the
deployment of turbines and control technologies to increase and maximize
system
generation at existing non-Federal hydroelectric facilities. Financial
assistance will be provided to a variety of hydropower projects that can be
developed without significant modifications to dams and with a minimum of
regulatory delay. Projects should be able to demonstrate improved
environmental
performance, such as a reduction in the rate of fish mortality at project
sites
or an increase in concentration of dissolved oxygen surrounding the project
sites.
Proposed projects should be able to demonstrate improved quantity and
quality
(value) of energy produced, through increased efficiency and enhanced
environmental performance. Projects that propose to use advanced
technologies
that improve upon on technologies or operations in common use are
preferred.

APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH FEDCONNECT AT
https://www.fedconnect.net/ TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AWARD. NOTE:

may

Grants.gov to be considered for award.
To submit an application in response to this FOA, Applicants must be
registered
with FedConnect. Before you can register with FedConnect, you will need
the
following:
1. Your company¿s DUNS (including plus 4 extension if applicable). If you
don¿t know your
company¿s DUNS or if your company does not have a DUNS you can search for
it or
request one at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/displayHomePage.do .
2. A federal Central Contractor Registration (CCR) account. If your
company is
not currently registered with CCR, please register at www.ccr.gov before
continuing with your FedConnect registration.
3. Possibly, your company¿s CCR MPIN. If you are the first person from
your
company to register, FedConnect will need to create a company account. Only
a
person who knows your company¿s CCR MPIN can do this. To find out who this
is
in your company, go to http://www.ccr.gov/ and click Search CCR. Once
you¿ve
found your company, locate the Electronic Business Point of Contact.
After the initial FedConnect account is created, employees can register
themselves without
the MPIN. If you are not sure whether your company has an account with
FedConnect, don¿t
worry. Complete the registration form and FedConnect will let you know.
Applicants who are not registered with CCR and FedConnect, should allow at
least 21 days
to complete these requirements. It is suggested that the process be
started as
soon as
possible. For those Applicants already registered in CCR, the CCR
registration
must be updated annually at http://www.ccr.gov/Renew.aspx.
