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 advises the Secretary of Energy
(Secretary) on a program to increase the technological and economic
competitiveness of industry and manufacturing in the United States,
increase the viability and competitiveness of United States industrial
technology exports, and achieve emissions reduction in nonpower
industrial sectors. The Committee is charged with 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 be comprised of not more than 20 members, who
shall be appointed by the Secretary, in consultation with the Director
of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (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.
This call for nominations seeks to fill membership vacancies and
maintain balance in points of view to fulfill the Committee's mission.
Nominations are welcomed in any of the categories above and in any of
the Committee's focus areas. Nominations are particularly sought for
individuals with expertise in one or more of the following topics:
advanced nuclear technologies for the industrial sector, electric load
growth in the industrial sector, and the refining industry.
Additionally, nominations are particularly sought for individuals who
represent labor groups associated with any of the Committee's focus
areas.
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
[[Page 20648]]
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.
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 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 (mailing
address, email address, and daytime telephone number); (2) the basis
for the nomination (i.e., what specific attributes recommend them 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, mailing 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.
All nomination information should be provided in a single, complete
package by June 13, 2025. Interested applicants should send their
nomination package to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f2bba6bbb3b1b29797dc969d97dc959d84"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="afe6fbe6eeecefcaca81cbc0ca81c8c0d9">[email protected]</span></a> with the subject line ``ITIAC
2025 Call for Nominations''. Respondents to previous calls for
nominations are encouraged to submit updated nomination packages as
appropriate.
