ad-hoc Sub-Committees as are needed will serve at the pleasure of the Operating Committee. The Engineering Sub-Committee will be responsible for the construction and other activities related to the establishment of the research facilities. The Technical Sub-Committee will be responsible for the actual research activities to be conducted with these channel facilities. The plans for construction and research will be developed jointly, to the mutual satisfaction of both agencies, via these Committee and Sub-Committee mechanisms. It is further agreed that so long as this Memorandum of Agreement is in effect, neither agency will conduct a research activity in these channel facilities that has not been mutually agreed upon. The chairman of any sub-committee shall be an ex-officio member of all other sub-committees and shall be an observer to the Operating Committee. Funding for the design, construction and testing of the eight research channels and appurtenant research facilities and equipment will be provided to TVA by EPA subject to review and approval by EPA of the construction plans and cost estimates. Funds are available up to $2,500,000 for these purposes presently; any additional support for construction and testing of facilities is necessarily contingent upon appropriations and availability of funds. Funds provided by EPA normally will be transferred to TVA on a quarterly reimbursable basis after the submission to and approval by EPA's Project Officer of the expenditure indicated by standard vouchers required by EPA for its research and development contracts. TVA will award and administer the contracts necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Project, including the construction efforts required thereunder. All contracts in excess of $25,000, and all changes or modifications of such contracts which affect the price or scope of the work to be performed, must be approved in writing in advance by EPA's Project Officer. Except as otherwise provided in this Memorandum of Agreement, it is agreed that costs for support of staffs engaged in the activities of the Operating Committee or Sub-Committee will be borne by the respective parent agency. The source, amount and procedures of funding for the support of the field and related laboratory research activities related to this Project have not yet been finally determined. Cost-reimbursable, or cost sharing arrangements shall be as mutually agreed upon by the Operating Committee and set forth in writing. It is our intention that TVA and EPA will collaborate on this program in a spirit of mutual cooperation. Further, both agencies intend to continue this joint effort so long as the results obtained from these special-facility studies are useful to both agencies in understanding and solving thermal and related environmental pollution problems, such continuation being contingent upon the availability of funds and continued agency interest. This Memorandum of Agreement may be terminated by either agency at any time upon written notice of intent provided at least 90 days in advance. Any cost-reimburseable agreements then in effect will be subject to immediate termination upon receipt of notice of intent and open to new negotiations. If this Memorandum of Agreement is terminated by giving notice of intent, the facilities constructed and equipment purchased and installed hereunder shall remain in the sole custory of the agency not giving such notice and may continue to be used by that agency for research until it notifies the terminating agency in writing that its use thereof is completed. If the agency having custody and use desires operational support (power, hot water, security services, etc.) for such use from the other agency, support shall be provided following a mutual agreement on a basis for reimbursement of costs. If the Project is terminated by mutual agreement, it is understood that the facilities and equipment purchased and installed under this agreement will remain in the custody of TVA, but will be made available to EPA, if EPA desires, for continuing research purposes. Such continuing use by EPA, use by TVA, or joint use by EPA-TVA would be covered by a new agreement between the two agencies. Nothing contained in this Memorandum of Agreement shall be construed as delaying or affecting any action or requirement imposed on the Tennessee Valley Authority by the provisions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended. In witness whereof: TVA and EPA cause this Memorandum of Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first written above. DAVID D. DOMINICK, Acting Commissioner, Water Quality, EPA. May 3, 1971. General Manager, TVA. Dr. F. E. GARTRELL, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE, Director of Environmental Research and Development, Tennessee Valley Authority, Chattanooga, Tenn. DEAR DR. GARTRELL: Under authority of the Clean Air Act, as amended, the National Air Pollution Control Administration is interested in entering into an agreement for FY 1971 with the Tennessee Valley Authority for the continuation of six (6) research projects. The various details concerning these projects were provided in your July 7, 1970 letter to me relating to the NAPCA-TVA cooperative research effort. Several meetings have been held between representatives of both agencies concerning these projects and the funding support agreed upon for FY 1971 is as follows: Funds in the amount of $3.270,000 will be made available from fiscal year 1971 appropriations for these projects. Period of performance covered by these funds is from July 1970 through June 1971, unless changed or adjusted by mutual consent. Request for payment should be made by submitting a Standard Form 1081 (set of eight) to the Fiscal Office, Office of Administration, National Air Pollution Control Administration, 411 West Chapel Hill Street, Durham, North Carolina, 27701, Attention: Examination Unit. An itemized statement of all performance costs incurred, by project, should accompany the request for payment. Please list the following obligation number, along with the corresponding NAPCA Controlled Account Number (CAN) listed above, for the respective Project: 690212. Technical progress reports (ten copies) should be submitted quarterly and an annual summary of progress should be provided at the end of the fiscal year. It is requested that NAPCA's cosponsorship be acknowledged in any reports, publications, or press releases on these projects. If the above arrangements are satisfactory, I would appreciate your returning two of the four copies of this letter with your signature indicating approval. Sincerely yours, Approval. JOHN T. MIDDLETON, Commissioner. NOVEMBER 6, 1970. D. F. E. GARTRELL, Director of Environmental Research and Development. INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE BUREAU OF AIR POLLUTION SCIENCES, Mr. VITO NATRELLA, Director, Statistics Division, DEAR MR. NATRELLA: Attached are the six copies of the reimbursable agreement No. 71-96-2 that you sent to Dr. Kenline covering the Internal Revenue Service work we requested in support of our 1973 Economics of Clean Air Report to Congress. In my letter of March 8, 1971 to Mrs. Shirkey, Administrative Officer, Statistics Division, we estimated the cost of the project to be $4,000. Since this amount was somewhat lower than the actual project cost, the revised cost of $4,549 is acceptable to this office. In the event the cost exceeds $5,000 would you please advise us accordingly. This is requested due to the extremely tight operating budget for this particular Division. Would you please list the following obligation number and common account code on your request for payment: 690116 CAN 1-9224336. If you have any questions on this project would you please call me in Durham on telephone (FTS) 919-688-8448. Thanks very much for your assistance. Sincerely yours. (1198) WILLIS H.

The right is reserved, therefore, to reject or terminate any part of the agreement and return the unused balance of funds advanced if the exigencies of the public interest should require such action. 2.

The cost of recompilations, corrections, or accelerations must be paid for by the requesting party. 3. Charges for reimbursable services will be effected on the basis of actual costs incurred, including both direct and indirect costs. If financing is by means of an advance of funds and the actual costs of the services are less than the estimate shown above, the difference will be returned to the requesting agency or organization upon completion of the work.
