b. What are key obstacles, impediments, 

or bottlenecks to advancing research 

at the intersection of QIS and HEP? 

c. What mix of institutions (industrial, 

academic, lab) could best carry out 

the envisioned research and/or 

development, and who should drive 

the formulation of such efforts?

Comments containing references, 

studies, research, and other empirical 

data that are not widely published 

should include copies of the referenced 

materials. Note that comments will be 

made publicly available as submitted. 

Any information that may be 

confidential and exempt by law from 

public disclosure should be submitted

Confidential Business Information: 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 1004.11, any person 

submitting information he or she 

believes to be confidential and exempt 

by law from public disclosure should 

submit via email: One copy of the 

document marked ‘‘confidential’’ 

including all the information believed to 

be confidential, and one copy of the 

document marked ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

with the information believed to be 

confidential deleted. DOE will make its 

own determination about the 

confidential status of the information 

and treat it according to its 

determination. Factors of interest to 

DOE when evaluating requests to treat 

submitted information as confidential 

include: (1) A description of the items; 

(2) whether and why such items are 

customarily treated as confidential 

within the industry; (3) whether the 

information is generally known by or 

available from other sources; (4) 

whether the information has previously 

been made available to others without 

obligation concerning confidentiality; 

(5) an explanation of the competitive 

injury to the submitting person which 

would result from public disclosure; (6) 

when such information might lose its 

confidential character due to the 

passage of time; and (7) why disclosure 

of the information would be contrary to 

the public interest. 

Depending on the response to this 

RFI, subsequent workshops or other 

activities may be held to further explore 

and elaborate the opportunities.
