General Services Administration, notice
is hereby given that the Environmental
Management Advisory Board (Board) is
being renewed for a two-year period
beginning on January 17, 2006. The
Board will provide advice and
recommendations to the Assistant
Secretary for Environmental
Management (EM).
The Board provides the Assistant
Secretary for EM with information and
strategic advice on a broad range of
corporate issues affecting the EM
program. It recommends options to
resolve difficult issues faced in the EM
program including, but not limited to:
Project management and oversight
activities; cost/benefit analyses; program
performance; contracts and acquisition
strategies; human capital management;
and site end states activities. Consensus
recommendations to the DOE from the
Board on programmatic nationwide
resolution of numerous difficult issues
will help achieve the DOE’s objective of
the safe and efficient cleanup of its
contaminated sites.
Additionally, the renewal of the
Environmental Management Advisory
Board has been determined to be
essential to the conduct of the DOE’s
business and to be in the public interest
in connection with the performance of
duties imposed on the DOE by law and
agreement. The Board will operate in

FACA, and rules and regulations issued
in implementation of that Act.
Further information regarding this
Advisory Board may be obtained from
Ms. Terri Lamb at (202) 586–9007.

The National Energy Technology
Laboratory’s (NETL) Strategic Center for
Natural Gas and Oil program mission is
to enhance U.S. security by ensuring the
Nation has a reliable energy supply. The
Strategic Center for Natural Gas and Oil
seeks to accomplish this critical goal by
advancing environmentally responsible
technological solutions that bolster
domestic oil and natural gas recovery.
Priority will be given to projects in the
noted areas of interest—the Williston
Basin in North Dakota/Montana and the
Cook Inlet Basin in Alaska. This
solicitation seeks to maximize U.S. oil
and natural gas production in a costeffective manner through the injection
of CO2, while at the same time
sequestering significant quantities of
CO2. To promote greater use of
industrial CO2, additional consideration
will be given to those proposals that use
anthropogenic CO2 from existing
industrial processes for the CO2 flood
(e.g., ethanol and gas processing plants,
oil refineries, petroleum coke
gasification, coal liquefaction, etc.).
Projects should clearly set forth the
manner in which adverse environmental
impacts would be minimized. Finally,
the solicitation will give priority
programmatic consideration to projects
that involve, in a significant way,
existing state/regional institutions that
have a mandate or significant interest in
supporting enhanced oil or natural gas
recovery, and reducing the carbon
intensity/CO2 emissions in the state
and/or region.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background.
Section 1817 of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 (EPAct 2005) requires DOE to
conduct a study in consultation with the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) of the potential benefits of
cogeneration and small power
production. The Electricity
Modernization Act § 1817, 119 Stat. 594,
1130 (2005). This study will encompass
various forms of distributed energy
technologies, ranging from those that
produce only electricity to those that
produce a combination of heat and
power (CHP), installed at or near the
point of use.
The first component of the DOE study
will analyze potential benefits
associated with expanded utilization of
distributed energy technologies. For
purposes of this Notice the terms
‘‘distributed generation’’ (DG),
‘‘cogeneration’’ and ‘‘small power
production’’ are synonymous.1 Specific
1 The term ‘‘cogeneration facility’’ typically
describes a facility that produces electric and/or
thermal energy independent of or interconnected to
the local electricity supplier (grid). 16 U.S.C.
