Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 135 / Friday, July 15, 2005 / Notices
Cooperative Research and Development
Agreements
Cooperative Research and
Development Agreements, or CRADAs,
are authorized by the Federal
Technology Transfer Act of 1986 (Pub.
L. 99–502, codified at 15 U.S.C. 3710a).
A CRADA promotes the transfer of
technology to the private sector for
commercial use as well as specified
research or development efforts that are
consistent with the mission of the
Federal parties to the CRADA. The
Federal party or parties agree with one
or more non-Federal parties to share
research resources, but the Federal party
does not contribute funding. The
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), as an executive agency under 5
U.S.C. 105, is a Federal agency for
purposes of 15 U.S.C. 3710a and may
enter into a CRADA. DHS delegated its
authority to the Commandant of the
Coast Guard (see DHS Delegation No.
0160.1, section 2(B)(34)), and the
Commandant has delegated his
authority to the Coast Guard Research
and Development Center.
Goal of Proposed CRADA
Under the proposed agreement, the
Coast Guard’s Research & Development
Center (RDC) would collaborate with
industry. Together, the RDC and its
CRADA partner(s) will examine fire
suppression/protection systems for
protecting marine vessels. Through joint
research, they will also provide
scientific information to support
development of test protocols for use on
merchant vessels.
The RDC, with its CRADA partner(s),
will create a structured and
collaborative test environment to
advance concepts and technologies for
fire suppression/protection systems.
Gaseous agent systems currently used
on vessels are either banned or being
phased out by the International
Maritime Organization and/or the
Environmental Protection Agency. The
RDC will provide test data on new
systems to the Coast Guard Marine
Safety, Security, and Environmental
Protection directorate for use in
developing approval procedures for
such systems to be used on merchant
vessels.
Party Contributions
We anticipate that the Coast Guard’s
contributions under the proposed
CRADA will include:
(1) A full-scale test chamber that
meets the International Maritime
Organizations test protocol
requirements to test and demonstrate
CRADA products;
VerDate jul<14>2003
17:47 Jul 14, 2005
Jkt 205001
(2) Personnel and equipment to
manage and operate the test chamber;
(3) An instrumentation system to
record real time test data for future
analysis; and
(4) Test data to/for CRADA partners
for their own analysis.
We anticipate that industry’s
contributions under the proposed
CRADA will include:
(1) Proposed fire suppression/
protection systems for study;
(2) A proposed test plan, for comment
by the RDC, for each fire suppression/
protection system to be tested;
(3) Provision and installation of agent
distribution systems and products. This
may include but not be limited to
piping, nozzles, manifolds, and cylinder
connections to allow testing called for
in the test plan;
(4) The disassembly and removal of
all items installed by CRADA partner(s);
(5) The repair or replacement of any
government instrumentation or
equipment that is damaged or destroyed
as a result of these tests; and
(6) The provision to the Coast Guard
of one copy of the draft report of test
results for review and of two copies of
the final report upon its completion.
The Coast Guard reserves the right to
select for CRADA partners all, some, or
none of the proposals in response to this
notice. The Coast Guard will provide no
funding for reimbursement of proposal
development costs. Proposals (or any
other material) submitted in response to
this notice will not be returned.
Proposals submitted are expected to be
unclassified and have no more than 4
single-sided pages (excluding cover
page and resumes). The Coast Guard
will select proposals at its sole
discretion on the basis of:
(1) How well they communicate an
understanding of, and ability to meet,
the proposed CRADA’s goal; and
(2) How well they address the
following criteria:
(a) Technical capability to support the
non-Federal party contributions
described;
(b) Resources available for supporting
the non-Federal party contributions
described; and
(c) Technical expertise/understanding
of marine fire suppression/protection
needs and industry best practices in fire
suppression/protection technologies.
This is a technology transfer/
development effort. So far, the Coast
Guard has no forecast to procure the
technology. Proposals should clearly
discuss how the concepts and proposed
technologies, e.g., for fire suppression/
protection systems to replace current
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703
halon and carbon dioxide systems could
improve upon systems currently being
proposed by and reviewed by the
International Maritime Organization.
Special consideration will be given to
small business firms/consortia, and
preference will be given to business
units located in the United States which
agree that products embodying
inventions made under the CRADA or
produced through the use of such
inventions will be manufactured
substantially in the United States.
