SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Purpose of the Board: EWAB advises the Secretary of Energy in 
developing a strategy for the Department of Energy to support and 
develop a skilled energy workforce to meet the changing needs of the 
U.S. energy system. It was established pursuant to Section 40211 of the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Public Law 117-58 (42 
U.S.C. 18744) in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq. This is the 
eleventh meeting of the EWAB.
    Tentative Agenda: The preliminary agenda for the meeting includes a 
roll call of the Board, a presentation on the history of the EWAB, 
deliberation of topics for the biennial report, and an opportunity for 
public comments.
    Public Participation: The meeting is open to the public via a 
virtual meeting option. Individuals who would like to attend must 
register for the meeting here: <a href="https://events.gcc.teams.microsoft.com/event/625684d3-34b1-4fe6-b433-98a46b4ef2d8@6b183ecc-4b55-4ed5-b3f8-7f64be1c4138">https://events.gcc.teams.microsoft.com/event/625684d3-34b1-4fe6-b433-98a46b4ef2d8@6b183ecc-4b55-4ed5-b3f8-7f64be1c4138</a>.
    It is the policy of the EWAB to accept written public comments up 
to five (5) pages and to accommodate oral public comments, whenever 
possible. The EWAB expects that public statements presented at its 
meetings will not be repetitive of previously provided oral or 
submitted written statements. The public comment period for this 
meeting will take place on November 2, 2026, at a time specified in the 
meeting agenda. This public comment period is designed only for 
substantive commentary on the EWAB's work, not for business marketing 
purposes. The DFO will

list, interested parties must register to speak by emailing
