[[Page 57881]]
has reviewed this request and is granting an extension of the public
comment period to allow comments to be submitted until August 6, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 7, 2024, DOE published an RFI to
invite interested parties to provide input on a proposed fusion energy
public-private consortium framework (PPCF). The RFI set a comment
period deadline of July 22, 2024. An interested party in the matter,
the Fusion Industry Association (FIA), a non-profit organization
composed of dozens private fusion companies and fusion affiliates,
requested a 15-day extension of the public comment period to review and
comment on the RFI given the substantial overlap in the timeline for a
current fusion funding opportunity announcement, and the significant
impact of a fusion consortium. DOE believes that additional time is
warranted and is extending the comment period for 15 additional days,
as requested. Therefore, comments on this RFI will be accepted until
August 6, 2024.
