SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOE 

was established in October 1977. The 

DOE administers over $182 billion in 

assets including 24 research laboratories 

and facilities and employs nearly 15,000 

federal and just over 100,000 contractor 

employees with an annual budget of 

about $26 billion. 

Since taking office, President Obama 

and DOE Secretary Chu have articulated 

clear goals for DOE’s four main business 

lines: nuclear security, environmental 

clean-up, science and energy. Our first 

goal for transforming our energy systems 

is to catalyze the timely, material, and 

economic transformation of the nation’s 

energy system and secure U.S. 

leadership in clean energy technologies. 

Our goal for our science and engineering 

enterprise is to maintain a vibrant U.S. 

effort in science and engineering as a 

cornerstone of our economic prosperity, 

with clear leadership in strategic areas 

of importance to the Department’s 

missions. Our goal for securing our 

nation is to enhance nuclear security in 

defense, non-proliferation, nuclear 

power, and environmental safeguards. 

We also have a goal to pursue 

management excellence in all that we 

do, which requires us to achieve our 

mission by establishing an operational 

and adaptable framework that combines 

the best wisdom of all the DOE 

stakeholders. 

The strategy behind these goals is 

explained in the draft DOE Strategic 

Plan. The plan outlines how the DOE 

will focus its world leading science and 

research and development programs on 

the nation’s most pressing energy and 

security challenges. It is important to 

note that the draft strategic plan is not 

a national energy plan, since that is an 

inherently multi-agency effort. 

The draft DOE Strategic Plan outlines 

the strategies the DOE intends to 

employ for best utilizing these 

resources. Once completed, the DOE 

Strategic Plan shall be a matter of public 

record and will be published on the 

DOE Web site at http://www.energy.gov/ 

about/budget.htm. 

While comments are invited on all 

aspects of the DOE Strategic Plan, DOE 

is particularly interested in: (a) Whether 

the plan is easy to read and understand; 

(b) whether the plan is complete, 

sufficiently covering topics of interest to 

the public; and (c) ways to enhance the 

quality of the information in the plan. 

Public Participation Policy 

It is the policy of the Department to 

ensure that public participation is an 

integral and effective part of DOE 

activities, and that decisions are made 

with the benefit of significant public 

perspectives. 

The Department recognizes the many 

benefits to be derived from public 

participation for both stakeholders and 

DOE. Public participation provides a 

means for DOE to gather a diverse 

collection of opinions, perspectives, and 

values from the broadest spectrum of 

the public, enabling the Department to 

make more informed decisions. Public 

participation benefits stakeholders by 

creating an opportunity to provide input 

on decisions that affect their 

communities and our nation.
