SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Electricity Advisory Committee (EAC) was re-established in July
2010 to provide advice to the Department on implementing the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L 109-58) and the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-140), as well as on modernizing the
nation's electricity delivery infrastructure. The Committee is composed
of 27 individuals of diverse backgrounds selected for their technical
expertise and experience, established records of distinguished
professional service, and knowledge of issues that pertain to
electricity.
Purpose of the Meeting
The meeting of the re-established Electricity Advisory Committee is
expected to include introduction of Committee Members, discussion of
the 2010-2011 objectives of the Committee, and a discussion of whether
to establish subcommittees on specific subjects.
Tentative Agenda
The principal business item on the agenda will be to begin the
Committee's consideration and selection of study topics related to
electricity delivery that it will focus on over the coming 12-24
months.
The meeting agenda may change to accommodate Committee business.
For Committee agenda updates, see the Committee Web site at: http://www.oe.energy.gov/eac.htm.
Public Participation
The meeting is open to the public. Any member of the public
interested in offering comments at the EAC meeting may do so on the day
of the meeting, Friday, October 29, 2010. Approximately one-half hour
will be reserved for public comments. Time allotted per speaker will
depend partly on the number who wish to speak but is not expected to
exceed three minutes. Anyone who is not able to attend the meeting or
who has not had sufficient time to address the EAC is invited to send a
written statement to Mr. David Meyer (see ADDRESSES). Such statements
will then be circulated to the EAC. The following electronic file
formats are acceptable: Microsoft Word (.doc), Corel Word Perfect
(.wpd), Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), Rich Text Format (.rtf), plain text
(.txt), Microsoft Excel (.xls), and Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt). If you
submit information that you believe to be exempt by law from public
disclosure, you must submit one complete copy, as well as one copy from
which the information claimed to be exempt by law from public
disclosure has been deleted. DOE is responsible for the final
determination concerning disclosure or nondisclosure of the information
and for treating it in accordance with the DOE's Freedom of Information
regulations (10 CFR 1004.11).
Note: Delivery of the U.S. Postal Service mail to DOE continues
to be delayed by several weeks due to security screening. DOE
therefore encourages those wishing to comment to submit comments
electronically by e-mail. If comments are submitted by regular mail,
the Department requests that they be accompanied by a CD or diskette
containing electronic files of the submission.
Minutes
The minutes of the first meeting of the EAC are expected to be
available within 45 days of the meeting on the Committee Web site at
http://www.oe.energy.gov/eac.htm or by contacting Mr. David Meyer (see
ADDRESSES).
