We anticipate that the non-Federal participants’ contributions under the proposed CRADA will include the following: (1) Provide input into the Coast Guard selection of the butanol fuel blend to be used during this CRADA investigation; (2) Provide input into the Coast Guard-developed, CRADA test objectives and CRADA test plan; (3) Provide all required resources, and conduct the ‘‘materials-compatibility testing’’ analysis of the mutuallyagreeable representative outboard engines using the specified butanol fuel blend, in accordance with the CRADA test plan; (4) Provide all required resources, and conduct the ‘‘bench-testing’’ analysis of the mutually-agreeable representative outboard engines using the specified butanol fuel blend, in accordance with the CRADA test plan; (5) Provide outboard engine operation and performance monitoring support to the Coast Guard during the ‘‘field testing’’ analysis; (6)Provide butanol fuel-specific training, along with mutually agreed upon technical support, to those Coast Guard personnel who will be maintaining the CRADA outboard engines during the operational testing, which is anticipated to be one year in duration; and (7) Provide input into the Coast Guard-developed, CRADA Final Report. Selection Criteria The Coast Guard reserves the right to select for CRADA participants 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:45 May 03, 2011 Jkt 223001 expected to be unclassified and have no more than four 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; and (b) Resources available for supporting the non-Federal party contributions described. Currently, the Coast Guard is considering Honda R&D Americas, Inc., for participation in this CRADA. This is based on the fact that many Coast Guard vessels presently have Honda outboard engines, which are the subject of this alternative fuel investigation. However, we do not wish to exclude other outboard engine manufacturers or other viable participants from this or future similar CRADAs. This is a technology transfer/ development effort. Presently, the Coast Guard has no plan to procure outboard engines, which operate on butanol fuel blends. Since the goal of this CRADA is to identify and investigate the advantages, disadvantageous, required technology enhancements, performance, costs, and other issues associated with using butanol fuel blends within marine outboard engines, with the overarching goal of reducing their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions (i.e. lower carbon footprints), and not to set future CG acquisition requirements for same, nonFederal CRADA partners will not be excluded from any future Coast Guard procurements based solely on their participation within this CRADA. Special consideration will be given to small business firms/consortia, and preference will be given to business units located in the U.S. Authority This notice is issued under the authority of 15 U.S.C. 3710(a) and 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
