Develop New Technologies

In response to questions asked by potential participants and the soon to be 
implemented new Bureau Assessment Policy, we offer the following 
clarifications to the September 5, 1996, call for proposals.

1)Under "How to Apply," item 8, budget preparation, ignore the final 
sentence of the NOTE.  It should read as follows:

        When preparing the budget for your project include all               
           appropriate division assessments, which includes the bureau       
              assessment.  For the sake of accuracy, it is highly 
recommended that            your proposal's budget be reviewed by your 
division's administrative            officer prior to submittal to ensure 
that the appropriate assessments           under the new system are included.

2)As with the call for proposals in 1995 and projects funded in 1996, all 
participants must be employees of the Department of the Interior.  Contracts 
for specific products or services could be let under a project but they 
should represent only a small part of the overall project.

3)As with the call for proposals in 1995, all proposals must be approved and 
signed at the division level before submittal to your Business Enterprise 
Council representative.

4)There are two errata in the e-mail address listed for Business Enterprise 
Council representatives.  The correct e-mail addresses are:
