Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Establish the 

Energy Efficiency and Renewable 

Energy Advisory Committee and request 

member nominations. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 

14(a)(2)(A) of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) and in 

accordance with Title 41 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, Section 102–3.65, 

and following consultation with the 

Committee Management Secretariat, 

General Services Administration, notice 

is hereby given that the Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy 

Advisory Committee (ERAC) has been 

established. To ensure a wide range of 

candidates for ERAC and a balanced 

committee, DOE is using this public 

announcement as an avenue to solicit 

nominations for this Committee. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by July 6, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be 

submitted in electronic format. 

Nominations should be sent via e-mail 

to erac.nominees@ee.doe.gov. Any 

requests for further information should 

also be sent via e-mail to 

erac.nominees@ee.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Committee will provide advice 

and recommendations to the Secretary 

of Energy (Secretary) on the research, 

development, demonstration, and 

deployment priorities within the field of 

energy efficiency and renewable energy. 

The Committee’s scope is to review and 

make recommendations on (1) the 

diverse elements of the Office of Energy 

Efficiency and Renewable Energy 

(EERE) portfolio, (2) the competing longrange plans, priorities and strategies to 

support EERE’s mission, (3) the 

appropriate levels of funding to develop 

those plans, priorities, and strategies 

and to help maintain an appropriate 

balance, (4) specific issues of concern to 

DOE as requested by the Secretary of 

Energy or the Assistant Secretary for 

EERE. 

DOE is hereby soliciting nominations 

for members of the Committee. The 

Committee is expected to be continuing 

in nature. The Secretary of Energy will 

appoint approximately twenty (20) 

Committee members. Members will be 

selected with a view toward achieving 

a balanced committee of experts in 

fields relevant to EERE, including 

representatives of industry, academia, 

utilities, State and/or local governments, 

professional societies, nongovernmental 

organizations, Federal laboratories, 

finance and venture capital entities, and 

other appropriate organizations based 

on the needs of the Committee and DOE. 

Committee members will serve for a 

term of three years or less and may be 

reappointed for successive terms, with 

no more than two successive terms. 

Appointments may be made in a 

manner that allows the terms of the 

members serving at any time to expire 

at spaced intervals, so as to ensure 

continuity in the functioning of the 

Committee. The Committee is expected 

to meet twice per year. Subcommittees 

to address specific agenda items are 

anticipated. Some Committee members 

may be appointed as special 

Government employees (SGEs) and will 

be subject to certain ethical restrictions 

as a result. Such members will also be 

required to submit certain information 

in connection with the appointment 

process. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations 

Qualified individuals can selfnominate or be nominated by any 

individual or organization. Nominators 

should submit (via e-mail to 

erac.nominees@ee.doe.gov) a 

description of the nominee’s 

qualifications, including matters that 

would enable the Department to make 

an informed decision, such as but not 

limited to the nominee’s education and 

professional experience. Should more 

information be needed, DOE staff will 

contact the nominee, obtain information 

from the nominee’s past affiliations, or 

obtain information from publicly 

available sources, such as the internet. 

A selection team will review the 

nomination packages. This team will be 

comprised of representatives from 

several DOE Offices. DOE is seeking a 

balance of appropriate stakeholder 

viewpoints to address the diversity of 

EERE’s portfolio, including SGE 

members and representative members. 

The selection team will consider many 

criteria, including and not limited to: (a) 

Scientific or technical expertise, 

knowledge, and experience; (b) 

stakeholder representation; (c) 

availability and willingness to serve; 

and (d) skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels. 

Structured interviews with some 

candidates may also occur. The 

selection team will make 

recommendations regarding 

membership to the Assistant Secretary 

for Energy Efficiency and Renewable 

Energy (EERE). The Assistant Secretary 

for EERE will submit a list of 

recommended candidates to the 

Secretary for review and selection of 

Committee members. Candidates 

selected by the Secretary of Energy to 

serve as SGEs will be required to fill out 

the Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for special Government employees 

serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Department of 

Energy and other forms incidental to 

Federal appointment. The confidential 

financial disclosure form allows 

Government officials to determine 

whether there is a conflict between the 

special Government employee’s public 

responsibilities and private interests 

and activities, or the appearance of a 

lack of impartiality, as defined by 

statute and regulation. The form may be 

viewed from the following URL address:

III. Description of Programs and 

Potential Disclosure of Information 

Claimed as Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) to Contractors 

EPA’s Office of Transportation and 

Air Quality (OTAQ) has responsibility 

for protecting public health and the 

environment by regulating air pollution 

from motor vehicles, engines, and the 

fuels used to operate them, and by 

encouraging travel choices that 

minimize emissions. In order to 

implement various Clean Air Act 

programs, and to permit regulated 

entities flexibility in meeting regulatory 

requirements (e.g., compliance on 

average), we collect compliance reports 

and other information from them. 

Occasionally, the information submitted 

is claimed to be confidential business 

information (CBI). Information 

submitted under such a claim is 

handled in accordance with EPA’s 

regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B 

and in accordance with EPA 

procedures, including comprehensive 

system security plans (SSPs) that are 

consistent with those regulations. When 

EPA has determined that disclosure of 

information claimed as CBI to 

contractors is necessary, the 

corresponding contract must address the 

appropriate use and handling of the 

information by the contractor and the 

contractor must require its personnel 

who require access to information 

claimed as CBI to sign written nondisclosure agreements before they are 

granted access to data. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h), 

we have determined that the 

contractors, subcontractors, and 

grantees (collectively referred to as 

‘‘contractors’’) listed below require 

access to CBI submitted to us under the 

Clean Air Act and in connection with 

the RFS2 program and EMTS. We are 

providing notice and an opportunity to 

comment. OTAQ collects this data in 

order to monitor compliance with the 

RFS2 program and to permit regulated 

parties flexibility in meeting regulatory 

requirements through the trading of 

RINs. We are issuing this Federal 

Register notice to inform all submitters 

of information within the EMTS system 

that we plan to grant access to material 

that may be claimed as CBI to the 

contractors identified below on a needto-know basis.
