SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee is established pursuant to
section 455 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, Public
Law 110-140 (hereafter, ``EISA'') as added by Public Law 116-260, div.
Z, section 6004 and in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. 2, and the rules and regulations
in implementation of that Act. The Committee is established under the
authority of DOE. The Committee will advise the Secretary of Energy
(Secretary) with respect to the Industrial Emissions Reductions
Technology Development Program (the program) by identifying and
evaluating any technologies being developed by the private sector
relating to the focus areas described in section 454(c) of the EISA;
identifying technology gaps in the private sector or other Federal
agencies in those focus areas, and making recommendations on how to
address those gaps; surveying and analyzing factors that prevent the
adoption of emissions reduction technologies by the private sector; and
recommending technology screening criteria for technology developed
under the program to encourage adoption of the technology by the
private sector. The Committee shall also develop a strategic plan on
how to achieve the program's goals and, in consultation with the
Secretary and the Director of the Office of Science and Technology
Policy (Director), propose missions and goals for the program
consistent with the purposes of the program described in section
454(b)(1) of the EISA.
The Committee shall be comprised of not fewer than 16 members and
not more than 20 members, who shall be appointed by the Secretary, in
consultation with the Director. The members shall be appointed by the
Secretary, in consultation with the Director, to serve as
representatives, Federal Government employees, and special Government
employees (SGEs) in accordance with the following membership
requirements articulated in the EISA:
<bullet> Not less than 1 representative of each relevant Federal
agency, as determined by the Secretary;
<bullet> Chair of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, if that
position is filled;
<bullet> Not less than 2 representatives of labor groups;
<bullet> Not less than 3 representatives of the research community,
which shall include academia and National Laboratories;
<bullet> Not less than 2 representatives of nongovernmental
organizations;
<bullet> Not less than 6 representatives of small- and large-scale
industry, the collective expertise of which shall cover every focus
area described in section 454(c) of EISA;
<bullet> Not less than 1 representative of a State government; and
<bullet> Any other individuals the Secretary, in coordination with
the Director, determines to be necessary to ensure that the Committee
is comprised of a diverse group of representatives of industry,
academia, independent researchers, and public and private entities.
The Committee members will serve for a term of up to two years, and
may be reappointed for up to two successive terms. Appointments may be
made in a manner that allows the terms of the members serving at any
time to expire at spaced intervals to ensure continuity in the
functioning of the Committee. Committee members will serve at the
discretion of the Secretary. The Chairperson of the Committee will be
selected by the Secretary. The Chairperson will serve a two-year term
and may be reappointed for an additional term. Committee members will
meet periodically, approximately twice a year. When vacancies occur,
the Secretary will, in consultation with the Director, identify
appointment nominees who can address the Committee's needs pursuant to
EISA. Subcommittee membership is drawn from that of the full Committee
and thus reflects much of the balance described previously.
Additionally, technical experts may be appointed to the subcommittee in
order to provide additional expertise and fulfill any lacking points of
view relative to the subcommittee's mission/function.
Members must be able to actively participate in the tasks of the
Committee including, but not limited to, attending, and participating
in in-person meetings, reviewing materials, and regularly participating
in conference calls, working groups, and formal subcommittees. The
Secretary will consider nominees who can best support, in an advisory
capacity.
Members of the Committee serve without compensation; however,
members may be reimbursed in accordance with the Federal Travel
Regulations for authorized travel and per diem expenses.
Nominations are open to all individuals without regard to race,
color, religion, sex, national origin, age, mental or physical
handicap, marital status, or sexual orientation. Members will be
selected based on their individual qualifications as detailed in their
nomination package, as well as the overall need to achieve a balanced
representation of viewpoints, subject matter expertise, and regional
knowledge. As part of achieving a balanced representation of
viewpoints, the Secretary and the Director will strive for the
Committee to reflect the principles of inclusion, equity, and
diversity, and to ensure that the Committee's recommendations strive
for equitable distribution of benefits for all Americans, including
people of color and others who have been historically underserved,
marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and
inequality. The Secretary and the Director also will strive for
geographic diversity in the composition of the Committee.
The Secretary will, in consultation with the Director, consider
nominations of all qualified individuals to ensure that the Committee
includes the areas of experience noted previously. Individuals may
nominate themselves or other individuals, and professional associations
and organizations may nominate one or more qualified persons for
consideration. Nominations shall
[[Page 36846]]
state that the nominee is willing to serve as a member and carry out
the duties of the Committee. A nomination package should include the
following information for each nominee: A letter of nomination (1)
stating the name, affiliation, position title, and contact information
for the nominee; (2) the basis for the nomination (i.e., what specific
attributes recommend him/her for service in this capacity), and (3) the
nominee's field(s) of experience within the focus areas listed in
section 454(c) of the EISA, as codified at 42 U.S.C. 17113(c), and (4)
the name, return address, email address, and daytime telephone number
at which the nominator can be contacted. A nomination package should
provide an adequate description of the nominee's qualifications,
including information that will enable DOE to make an informed decision
regarding meeting the membership requirements and objectives.
DOE expressly values diversity, equity, inclusion, and
accessibility, and encourages nominations of appropriately qualified
candidates from diverse backgrounds.
All nomination information should be provided in a single, complete
package by August 1, 2022. Interested applicants should send their
nomination package to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#19504d50585a597c7c377d767c377e766f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3b726f727a787b5e5e155f545e155c544d">[email protected]</span></a>.
