SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In April 

2024, Department of Energy (DOE) and 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ) chartered and appointed 

members for two new CCUS Permitting 

Task Forces as required by the Utilizing 

Significant Emissions with Innovative 

Technologies (USE IT) Act and in 

accordance with FACA. The purpose of 

each Task Force is the same, but the 

scope differs by geographical area—one 

Task Force focuses on Federal lands and 

the Outer Continental Shelf, and the 

other focuses on non-Federal lands. 

Purpose of the Committee: The 

purpose of the Task Forces is to identify 

permitting and other challenges and 

successes that permitting authorities 

and project developers and operators 

face in permitting projects in an 

efficient, orderly, and responsible 

manner; and improve the performance 

of the permitting process and regional 

coordination for the purpose of 

promoting the efficient, orderly, and 

responsible development of carbon 

capture, utilization, and sequestration 

projects and carbon dioxide pipelines. 

To accomplish these objectives, the 

USE IT Act requires each Task Force to 

undertake the following activities with 

respect to its geographic scope: (1) 

inventory existing or potential Federal 

and State approaches to facilitate 

reviews associated with the deployment 

of carbon capture, utilization, and 

sequestration projects and carbon 

dioxide pipelines, including best 

practices that avoid duplicative reviews 

to the extent permitted by law, engage 

stakeholders early in the permitting 

process, and make the permitting 

process efficient, orderly, and 

responsible; (2) develop common 

models for State-level carbon dioxide 

pipeline regulation and oversight 

guidelines that can be shared with 

States in the geographical area covered 

by the Task Force; (3) provide technical 

assistance to States in the geographical 

area covered by the Task Force in 

implementing regulatory requirements 

and any models developed under (2) 

above; (4) inventory current or emerging 

activities that transform captured carbon 

dioxide into a product of commercial 

value, or as an input to products of 

commercial value; (5) identify any 

priority carbon dioxide pipelines 

needed to enable efficient, orderly, and 

responsible development of carbon 

capture, utilization, and sequestration 

projects at increased scale; (6) identify 

gaps in the current Federal and State 

regulatory framework and in existing 

data for the deployment of carbon 

capture, utilization, and sequestration 

projects and carbon dioxide pipelines; 

(7) identify Federal and State financing 

mechanisms available to project 

developers; and (8) develop 

recommendations for relevant Federal 

agencies on how to develop and 

research technologies that can capture 

carbon dioxide and would be able to be 

deployed within the region covered by 

the Task Force, including any projects 

that have received technical or financial 

assistance for research under paragraph 

(6) of section 103(g) of the Clean Air Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7403(g)). 

In carrying out these activities to 

support the efficient, effective, and 

responsible permitting of CCUS 

projects, the Task Forces shall also 

consider and develop recommendations 

to address community concerns 

regarding the climate benefits and 

environmental justice implications,
