Request for Information To Support 

the Development of a Federal 

Environmental Justice Science, Data, 

and Research Plan; Reopening of 

Comment Period 

AGENCY: White House Office of Science 

and Technology Policy. 

ACTION: Request for information; 

reopening of comment period. 

SUMMARY: On October 13, 2023, the 

Office of Science and Technology Policy 

(OSTP) published in the Federal 

Register a document entitled ‘‘Request 

for Information to Support the 

Development of a Federal 

Environmental Justice Science.’’ This 

RFI invited comments to the 

Subcommittee on Environmental Justice 

formed under the National Science and 

Technology Council Committee on the 

Environment in support of developing a 

coordinated Federal strategy to identify 

and address gaps in science, data, and 

research related to environmental 

justice. Information received through 

this RFI will inform the biennial 

Environmental Justice Science, Data, 

and Research Plan (Research Plan). 

Executive Order 14096 directed the 

formation of both the Subcommittee on 

Environmental Justice and the 

development of the Research Plan. In 

response to requests by prospective 

commenters that they would benefit 

from additional time to adequately 

consider and respond to the RFI, OSTP 

has determined that a reopening of the 

comment period until January 12, 2024 

is appropriate. 

DATES: The end of the comment period 

for the document entitled ‘‘Request for 

Information To Support the 

Development of a Federal 

Environmental Justice Science,’’ 

published on October 13, 2023 (88 FR 

71041), is reopened from December 18, 

2023 to January 12, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Interested individuals and 

organizations should submit comments 

electronically via regulations.gov. Due 

to time constraints, mailed paper 

submissions will not be accepted, and 

electronic submissions received after 

the deadline may not be incorporated or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with Executive Order 14096, 

OSTP seeks information to assist in 

developing a coordinated Federal 

strategy to identify and address gaps in 

science, data, and research related to 

environmental justice. Information 

received through this RFI will inform 

the biennial Environmental Justice 

Science, Data, and Research Plan 

(Research Plan). On October 13, 2023, 

OSTP published in the Federal Register 

a document inviting comments on a 

series of questions to support the 

development of the Research Plan (88 

FR 71041). The RFI was issued to seek 

input from a broad array of stakeholders 

on the collection and use of science, 

data, and research in Federal decision 

making. The document stated that the 

comment period would close on 

December 12, 2023. OSTP has received 

requests to extend the comment period. 

A reopening of the comment period will 

provide additional opportunity for the 

public to consider the RFI and prepare 

comments to address the topics listed 

therein. Therefore, OSTP is reopening 

the comment period for the RFI from 

December 18, 2023 to January 12, 2024. 

Submitted by the White House Office of 

Science and Technology Policy on December 

12, 2023.
