The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI). The Institute is planned as a consortium established under a Cooperative Agreement with the DOE with participation from sub-recipients of the award, private companies, universities and other educational institutions, as well as other state and federal government agencies and research organizations. IACMI’s technology development and demonstration programs would focus on reducing technical risk and developing a robust supply chain to support growing applications of advanced composites in vehicles, wind energy and compressed gas storage. Participating states would engage their economic development and education programs to encourage new business formation and develop a capable workforce to serve the composites industry. This project has five budget periods but only project activities within budget period 1 (BP1) have been defined. This NEPA Determination is specific to BP1 only. Further NEPA review will be required for the remaining budget periods once those activities have been defined and negotiated.
