DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
National Advisory Committee on Coal
AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of re-establishment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act and in
accordance with title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and
following consultation with the Committee Management Secretariat of the
General Services Administration, notice is hereby given that the
National Advisory Committee on Coal (formerly National Coal Council)
will be re-established for a two-year period. The Committee will
provide advice, information, and recommendations to the Secretary of
Energy on a continuing basis regarding general policy matters relating
to coal issues.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The charter for the National Coal Council
(NCC) lapsed on November 20, 2021 in light of DOE's commitment to fully
evaluate the need to expand the scope of advisory work of the
committee. In particular, the charter for the re-established National
Advisory Committee on Coal (NACC) has been modernized to reflect
matters currently faced by the coal industry, workers, and communities;
and the priorities outlined in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public
Law 109-48 (as amended, most recently by Public Law 116-260 on December
27, 2020) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Public Law 117-58.
Committee members will be chosen to assure a well-balanced
representation from all sections of the country, all segments of the
coal industry, including large and small companies, and commercial and
residential consumers. The Committee will also have diverse members who
represent interests including the environmental remediation, regional
development experts and others as determined by the Secretary.
Membership and representation of all interests will be determined in
accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
and implementing regulation
The re-establishment of the Committee has been deemed essential to
the conduct of the Department's business and in the public interest in
conjunction with the performance of duties imposed upon the Department
of Energy, by law and agreement. The Committee will operate in
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
and the rules and regulations in implementation of that Act.
