Offshore Research Technology Center (OTRC) Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES)

$84,500 committed in FY2022–FY2022

Agency: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Interior, Department of the
Assistance: Project Grants
CFDA number: 15.425
What it does: The MMS, as authorized by the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) (43 U.S.C. 1331-1356), is responsible for ensuring that any oil and gas activities located on the OCS conserve resources, operate safely, and protect the coastal and marine environment. The Technology Assessment and Research Program (TA&R) is a research element encompassed by the MMS Regulatory Program. The TA&R Program supports research associated with operational safety and pollution prevention as well as oil spill response and cleanup capabilities. The TA&R Program was established in the 1970's to ensure that industry operations on the Outer Continental Shelf incorporated the use of the Best Available and Safest Technologies (BAST) subsequently required through the 1978 OCSLA amendments. Congress provides TA&R funding to be used by OTRC in order to perform research through the MMS.
Who benefits: Research scientists, engineers, and the general public.
Who applies: The TEES is qualified to receive funding through this cooperative agreement program.
Authorized by: 43 U.S.C. 1331-1356, Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act.

Committed by fiscal year

By dollars committed.

Committed through this program: Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
How it's paid: Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
Some recipients aren't itemized: For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
Awards, counted once: An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
The colored bars: Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
