Abstract: The evaluation responds to
legislative requirement in P.L. 105–244,
Section G to evaluate and report on the
effectiveness of projects funded under
the Gaining Early Awareness and
Readiness for Undergraduate Programs
(GEAR UP) program. Using a quasiexperimental design, high school
graduation and postsecondary
enrollment as well as students’ and
parents’ expectations for postsecondary
education, their knowledge of the
academic preparation needed and
availability of financial resources and
students’ academic performance will be
compared over time for students who
participated in GEAR UP with students
who did not participate in GEAR UP
projects. Descriptive information about
projects will also be collected.

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Expression of Interest Regarding the
Scope of an Intended Solicitation for
Superconductivity Partnerships With
Industry (SPI) Projects
Department of Energy, Office of
Electricity Delivery and Energy
Reliability.
ACTION: Notice of inquiry.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy
(DOE), as part of its Superconductivity
Program for Electric Power Systems, is
currently pursuing the development of
electric power equipment incorporating
high temperature superconductors
(HTS) through PSIs. The purpose is to
accelerate future commercial
availability of the more efficient, higher
capacity new technology enabled by
HTS for modernizing the electricity
infrastructure.
The DOE is contemplating issuing a
solicitation in FY–2006 in response to
continued industrial interest and due to
the impressive technical
accomplishments made to date by
participating industry teams.
Applications of interest could address
the next stage of HTS power line R&D,
or begin R&D for power equipment
based on the expected 2006 availability
of second generation (2G) HTS wires in
limited quantity. The purpose of this
notice is to request expressions of
interest in responding to the
contemplated solicitation. DOE also
welcomes comments on the content of
the solicitation.
DATES: Written comments are to be filed
electronically by e-mailing to:
SPI.comments@tms-hq.doe.gov no later
than 5 p.m. eastern time September 16,
2005. Comments can also be submitted
at the address listed below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE
intends offering to share the cost of
multi-year projects that advance
program equipment goals where the
industry contribution is typically 50%
or more of the total project costs. DOE
contemplates that proposals submitted
pursuant to a future solicitation would
be prepared by vertically integrated
teams that include an equipment
manufacturer, an end user such as an
electric utility, and a HTS wire supplier.
In addition, each team would be able to
access (via separate Cooperative
Research and Development Agreements)
the capabilities of national laboratories
currently participating in the
superconductivity program in
performing their project. These teams
would be responsible for design,
manufacture, installation and testing the
technology of their choice. The program
currently has a major focus on HTS
power lines, but also has cost-shared
projects for HTS generators,
transformers, motors, fault current
limiters and flywheel systems.
The DOE is contemplating issuing a
solicitation in FY–2006 in response to
continued industrial interest and due to
the impressive technical
accomplishments made to date by
participating industry teams.
Applications of interest could address
the next stage of HTS power line R&D,
or begin R&D for power equipment
based on the expected 2006 availability
of second generation (2G) HTS wires in
limited quantity. Subject to availability
of funds, DOE anticipates that awards
for the contemplated solicitation will
range from hundreds of thousands of
dollars to several million dollars per
year and for project periods of up to four
years. The SPI awards would be costshared cooperative agreements between
DOE and the industry team. The
solicitation would also require that
greater than 50% of manufacturing
expenditures be in the United States.
Further, the solicitation would require
that the application include energy and
economic benefits analysis, technical
performance expectations, product or
system design studies, and a plan for
eventual product commercialization. A
resulting award would fund first-of-akind equipment R&D concluding with
its operation and testing, but would not
commit DOE to follow-on phases or
projects.
