DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Notice of Request for Information (RFI) 

Regarding Challenges and 

Opportunities at the Interface of Wind 

Turbines and Radar Technology 

AGENCY: Office Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Wind Energy 

Technologies Office, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Request for information (RFI). 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) invites public comment 

on its request for information (RFI) 

number DE–FOA–0003166 regarding 

mitigation strategies for the technical 

and operational effects of wind turbines 

on critical radar missions, as required 

by the Infrastructure Investment and 

Jobs Act also known as the Bipartisan 

Infrastructure Law (BIL). 

DATES: Responses to the RFI must be 

received by January 12, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Comments to the RFI must 

be provided in writing. Interested 

parties are to submit their written 

comments electronically to 

windenergyrfi@ee.doe.gov and include 

‘‘Comment on RFI: Challenges & 

Opportunities at the Interface of Wind 

Turbines and Radar Technology’’ in the 

subject line of the email. Email 

attachments can be provided as a 

Microsoft Word (.docx) file or an Adobe 

PDF (.pdf) file, prepared in accordance 

with the detailed instructions in the 

RFI. Documents submitted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE’s 

Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, on behalf of the 

Wind Energy Technologies Office and in 

collaboration with the Wind TurbineRadar Interference Mitigation (WTRIM) 

Working Group, issued this RFI to seek 

public input to help inform DOE’s 

implementation of the BIL. The WTRIM 

Working Group has been working to 

identify and develop the means to 

mitigate the technical and operational 

effects of wind turbines on critical radar 

missions. This RFI represents the latest 

effort by the WTRIM Working Group to 

better understand the challenges wind 

developers are facing regarding radar 

interference and to determine the 

capability of the marketplace to find 

solutions that mitigate the impact of 

wind turbine interference on existing 

and future radar systems. 

Specific questions can be found in the 

RFI. The RFI DE–FOA–0003166 is 

available at: https://eere-exchange.

BILLING CODE 6450–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Adjustment of Indemnification Amount 

for Inflation 

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, 

U.S. Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of adjusted 

indemnification amount. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE or the Department) is announcing 

the adjusted amount of indemnification 

provided under subsection 170d. of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), 

commonly known as the PriceAnderson Act. Subsection 170t. of the 

AEA requires an inflation adjustment of 

the indemnification amount at least 

once during each 5-year period 

following July 1, 2003, in accordance 

with the aggregate percentage change in 

the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This 

notice announces $16,592,154,000 as 

the fourth inflation-adjusted 

indemnification amount based on the 

aggregate percentage change in the CPI 

during the 5-year period from July 1, 

2018 to July 1, 2023. 

DATES: This action is effective on 

November 14, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Meghan Claire Hammond, Attorney 

Advisor (GC–72), Office of the General 

Counsel, U.S. Department of Energy, 

1000 Independence Ave. SW, 

Washington, DC 20585, (202) 586–3806. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PriceAnderson Act (PAA), section 170 of the 

AEA (42 U.S.C. 2210), establishes a 

system of financial protection for 

persons who may be liable for a 

‘‘nuclear incident,’’ as defined in 

section 11q. of the AEA (42 U.S.C. 

2014q.). The Price-Anderson Act is 

administered by DOE with respect to the 

nuclear activities of contractors acting 

on DOE’s behalf. Subsection 170d. 

provides that the Secretary of Energy 

shall enter into agreements of 

indemnification with any person who 

may conduct activities under a contract 

with DOE that involve the risk of public 

liability and that are not subject to the 

financial protection requirements of the 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission system. 

DOE’s Price-Anderson Act 

indemnification contract provisions are 

codified in the Department of Energy 

Acquisition Regulation (DEAR), which 

sets forth a standard nuclear 

indemnification clause, the Nuclear 

Hazard Indemnity Clause at 48 CFR 

952.250–70, that is incorporated into all 

DOE contracts and subcontracts in 

which the contractor is under risk of 

public liability for a nuclear incident or 

precautionary evacuation, as those 

terms are defined in the PAA.
