Any and all changes to proposed work or budget as described in the Proposal need a prior technical evaluation by the FF4EuroHPC management and written consent of the University.\n2.2 An excerpt from the FF4EuroHPC Consortium Agreement is attached to this Funding Agreement as Part 2 of the Annex. The Partners shall comply with the terms of the Funding Agreement, as if the Project (as referred to in the FF4EuroHPC Consortium Agreement), was the Experiment, and as if the Partners were the original signatories of the FF4EuroHPC Consortium Agreement, so that the Consortium Partners shall, in relation to the Experiment be bound mutatis mutandis in the same terms as are the FF4EuroHPC Partners in relation to FF4EuroHPC. In case of contradictions between the Funding Agreement and the FF4EuroHPC Consortium Agreement excerpt, the Funding Agreement takes precedence over the FF4EuroHPC Consortium Agreement excerpt. Although the Consortium Partners shall have no direct contractual relationship with the JU, by virtue of this Funding Agreement and specifically this Clause 2.2, they shall be deemed bound to the University in the same way as the FF4EuroHPC Partners are bound to the JU by virtue of their direct accession to the Grant Agreement, in order that there are equivalent and consistent provisions in place in relation to the expenditure of \u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 funding.\n2.3 Publicly available results\n2.3.1 The Partners agree that all results covered by section 2.3.2 will be made publicly available.\n2.3.2 The Partners commit and agree to the provision of information and data required for the production of public success stories relating to the application experiment covered by this agreement. Such information and data includes, but is not limited to, the following:\na) Content/text of success stories written using tailored/dedicated document templates provided by the FF4EuroHPC Partners\nb) Media content: at least four images relating to the work and results of the application experiment in high resolution \u2013 min. 1200x800 px, .jpg or .png format (such as team image, technical images)\nc) Information about the organisations involved in the application experiment, including: role of experiment partners (end-user, Software provider, domain or HPC expert, HPC provider), country of end-user, name of the software used, name of the industrial sector, suitable high-resolution logos, trademarks, short company description and names/functions of key persons. The Partners consent to the use of all information and data for the purpose of project dissemination on a wider level, also beyond the project framework and lifetime, in different kinds of publications, newspapers, magazines and other print media, or electronic media (including the Internet), and/or in mailings for educational and awareness purposes.\n2.4 The Partners allow the University to forward the Proposal to the members of FF4EuroHPC Work Package 3 \u201cExperiment Oversight\u201d (being employees of the FF4EurooHPC Partners CINECA and CESGA). The purpose is to facilitate the effective support and management of experiments and to ensure that the experiments proceed according to their objectives during the execution of the experiment\u2019s work plan.\n2.5 The Partners will duly submit their financial reports at month 9 and at the end of the experiment to the University, using the template provided. In addition, experiment partners will submit technical progress reports to the FF4EuroHPC management at month 4, month 9 and at the end of the experiment, and an additional technical progress report by month 12 should the progress up to month 9 be assessed as unsatisfactory. A template will be provided, and the technical progress reports will cover results, challenges, risks and data management.\n2.6 The Experiment will commence on March 1st, 2022 or once the Funding Agreement has come into effect (pursuant to clause 6.4), whichever point in time is later.

The cavity is constructed with two nominally identical highly reflective mirrors (specified reflectivity > 99.8%), hav- ing a radius of curvature of R = 50 cm and a diameter of D = 5 cm.

This proposal would achieve its objectives through the use of sound ecological science and risk-based management and employ techniques consistent with the EPA Ecological Risk Assessment Guidelines. Key elements include development of a unified ambient monitoring program, comprehensive elec- tronic database, risk-based pollutant prioritization, and data to support the development of total maxi- mum daily loads (TMDLs). Development of these components is intended to suggest alternatives to current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements otherwise appli- cable to PSNS. The project would be a pilot pro- gram to demonstrate concepts currently under development to address water pollution associated with naval shipyards. The Flexibility: In Phase I, no regulatory flex- ibility is being sought. Rather, PSNS is proposing to conduct preliminary data collection and modeling for \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 Inlet and the watershed. Upon comple- tion of the data collection and review of its findings, PSNS may seek regulatory flexibility in Phase II. The Superior Environmental Performance: To assist in reaching the goal of superior environmen- tal performance, Puget Sound shipyard will use the unified database in: The Project Sponsor: The \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 Kodak Com- pany (Kodak) is the world\u2019s leader in imaging, and a manufacturer of imaging systems (cameras, scan- ners) and media (film, photographic paper, photo- graphic chemicals). Kodak employs 46,300 people in the United States and has manufacturing facili- ties in Rochester, NY; Windsor, CO; Peabody, MA; and White City, OR. The Health and Environment Laboratories (HAEL) division of Kodak is a cen- tral/corporate facility that evaluates materials and equipment that are involved in manufacturing pro- cesses or are being considered for use in new prod- ucts. As a leader in new technology development in the imaging industry, Kodak submits many new chemical substances to EPA for review each year. Once approved, these substances may be used in one or several of the company\u2019s facilities, and it is these substances that allow the company to de- velop and improve the products it sells. The Experiment: The EPA Office of Preven- tion, Pesticides and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) has developed a set of computerized risk screening tools called the Pollution Prevention Framework. These tools allow companies to (1) calculate or estimate important risk-related properties based on an analy- sis of chemical structure and (2) design safer chemi- cals, reduce waste generation, and identify other pollution prevention opportunities. Kodak aims to test the application and dissemination of informa- tion about the Pollution Prevention Framework un- der this project. Kodak intends to use EPA\u2019s Pollution Prevention Framework in the development of its new chemical products to ensure that they are as environmentally benign as possible. Kodak also proposes to share its expertise in the use of the Pollution Prevention Framework with other companies to encourage its greater use. Kodak plans to showcase the Pollution Prevention Frame- work by working with scientific and technical staff at other chemical companies, reaching out to busi- ness audiences, and contacting senior managers in other organizations. Kodak will also complete an The Flexibility: Under the Toxic Substances Con- trol Act (TSCA), a prospective manufacturer must wait 90 days after submitting a pre-manufacture notice (PMN) before beginning manufacture of a new product. Often, EPA concludes its review of the PMN after 28 days for chemicals identified as \u201clow risk drops\u201d. As a result of new and less toxic chemicals produced using the Pollution Prevention Framework, Kodak expects that EPA would gen- erally complete its review of Kodak\u2019s chemicals in 28 days or less. Kodak therefore proposes that, EPA allow Kodak to submit concurrently a PMN and a Test Marketing Exemption (TME) applica- tion for the same chemical substance, so Kodak may commence manufacture for test marketing purposes 45 days after the TME is submitted and full-scale nonexempt commercial manufacture 90 days after the PMN is submitted. The shortened 45-day waiting period will be available only for chemicals for which EPA has no further concerns, in cases where EPA\u2019s review is completed in 28 days. The Superior Environmental Performance: The Kodak project anticipates the following four components of superior environmental perfor- \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587: The Project Sponsor: Georgia-Pacific Corpo- ration is one of the world\u2019s largest forest products companies and is a major manufacturer and dis- tributor of building products, pulp, paper, and re- lated chemicals used in papermaking and the production of building products. The Georgia-Pa- cific Corporation owns and operates a non-sulfur, non-bleaching pulp and paper mill at Big Island, Virginia. The facility produces corrugating medium, which is used by box plants to make the fluted in- ner layer of corrugated boxes, and linerboard, which is used for the inside and outside layers of boxes. The mill is located in Bedford County, adjacent to the \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 River. The \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 National Forest is located to the north and east of the \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 River; and to the west is the Jefferson National Forest. The \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 River Face National \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587- \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 Area is about 3 miles to the northwest of the mill. The facility sits on 900 acres of land and em- ploys about 380 people. The Experiment: Georgia-Pacific is investigat- ing using \u201cblack liquor gasification,\u201d which is a new and innovative way to recover chemicals used to make wood pulp at the Big Island facility. To make pulp, wood is chipped and added to a digester con- taining a chemical solution called \u201cwhite liquor\u201d (primarily consisting of sodium carbonate at the Big Island facility). The white liquor is heated in the digester and cooks the chips and forms pulp by breaking down the lignin, or glue, that holds the wood together. The wood pulp is recovered from the digester, leaving unusable wood products in the pulping chemical solution, which is now considered \u201cblack liquor.\u201d The current practice at the mill to recover the useful chemicals in the black liquor is to reduce the volume and concentrate the liquid through evaporation. The liquid is then burned in two smelters, called \u201crecovery furnaces.\u201d The smelters recover the sodium carbonate in a molten form, which is dissolved again to produce new white liquor. The new gasification process that this XL project tests, uses heat and steam to convert or- ganic compounds (including lignin and wood fines) The Flexibility: Under the Clean Air Act, the mill at Big Island must comply with the Pulp and Paper Mill Cluster Rule, which is a hazardous air pollution standard that requires installation of maxi- mum achievable control technology (MACT), to limit the amounts of air pollutants that can be emit- \u2587\u2587\u2587 from regulated areas in the plant. A second MACT standard (MACT II), that would apply to the existing smelters, was proposed in 1998 to con- trol and reduce emissions from combustion sources associated with recovery of chemicals used to make wood pulp. Due to the age and the physical condition of the plant, Georgia-Pacific would have to substantially upgrade or rebuild the smelters and add additional emissions controls to meet the MACT II standards, or they would need to replace the smelters with new recovery boilers using conven- tional technology. Georgia-Pacific expects that its gasifier technology could be operational in time to meet the MACT II standards when they become effective. However, Georgia-Pacific is using XL to get flexibility in the following ways: The Superior Environmental Performance: Georgia-Pacific\u2019s use of the black liquor gasifica- tion system would be the first commercial applica- tion of this technology in the country. Use of the system promises the following environmental ben- efits: The Project Sponsor: Imation produces mag- netic data-storage tapes, primarily for the computer industry, at its plant in Camarillo, California. Mag- netic tape manufacturing employs high-technology processes and caters to a rapidly evolving world- wide industry. The Experiment: Imation is testing a broader ap- plication of the Clean Air Act (CAA) regula- tions that require manufacturers to obtain approval for each prospective change to plant processes and/ or new equipment additions through a preconstruction review procedure and revision of the plant\u2019s operating permit. Imation\u2019s project will attempt to demonstrate that its alternative approach of accounting for process modifications and new equipment additions that Imation anticipates mak- ing in the future will produce better environmental results compared to the current regulatory struc- ture and related policies. The project will also test whether enforcement is easier under Imation\u2019s sys- tem and whether permitting costs are reduced. The Flexibility: Traditional case-by-case preconstruction review processes are meant to ensure that plant changes (1) do not jeopardize at- tainment and maintenance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) under the CAA or", "snippet_links": [{"key": "puget-sound", "type": "definition", "offset": [4, 15]}, {"key": "to-develop", "type": "definition", "offset": [42, 52]}, {"key":
