SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Purpose of the Board: The 21st Century Energy Workforce Advisory

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. 10. This is the second meeting of the 
EWAB.
    Tentative Agenda: The meeting will start at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time 
on October 31, 2023. The tentative meeting agenda includes: roll call, 
remarks related to and continuing discussion of DOE's role in meeting 
future energy workforce needs, and public comments. The meeting will 
conclude at approximately 3:30 p.m.
    Public Participation: The meeting is open to the public via a 
virtual meeting option. Individuals who would like to attend must

    It is the policy of the EWAB to accept written public comments no 
longer than 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 submitted oral or written 
statements. The public comment period for this meeting will take place 
on October 31, 2023, 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 Designated 
Federal Officer will conduct the meeting to facilitate the orderly 
conduct of business.
    Oral Comments: To be considered for the public speaker list at the 
meeting, interested parties should register to speak by contacting 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#81c4d6c0c3c1e9f0afe5eee4afe6eef7"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0f4a584e4d4f677e216b606a21686079">[email protected]</span></a>

no later than 12 p.m. eastern time on October 24, 2023. To accommodate 
as many speakers as possible, the time for public comments will be 
limited to three (3) minutes per person, with a total public comment 
period of up to 15 minutes. If more speakers register than there is 
space available on the agenda, the EWAB will select speakers on a 
first-come, first-served basis from those who applied. Those not able 
to present oral comments may always file written comments with the 
Board.
    Written Comments: Although written comments are accepted 
continuously, written comments relevant to the subjects of the meeting 
should be submitted to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#9adfcddbd8daf2ebb4fef5ffb4fdf5ec"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f1b4a6b0b3b19980df959e94df969e87">[email protected]</span></a> no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern 
Time on October 24, 2023, so that the comments may be made available to 
the EWAB members prior to this meeting for their consideration. Please 
note that because EWAB operates under the provisions of FACA, all 
public comments and related materials will be treated as public 
documents and will be made available for public inspection, including 
being posted on the EWAB website.
    Minutes: The minutes of this meeting will be available on the 21st 
Century Energy Workforce Advisory Board website at https://www.energy.gov/policy/21st-century-energy-workforce-advisory-board-ewab
