DOE Materials-Based Hydrogen 

Storage Summit: Defining Pathways 

for Onboard Automotive Applications 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy (DOE). 

ACTION: Notice of public workshop. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces a 

public workshop for interested parties 

to learn about recent results from DOE’s 

materials-based hydrogen storage 

system modeling efforts. In addition, 

DOE intends to gather input from 

workshop participants to identify 

hydrogen storage material development 

pathways and potential future areas of 

research. This input will be used to help 

guide future activities for the DOE 

Hydrogen Storage Program. 

DATES: The workshop will be held 

Tuesday, January 27, 2015 from 8:30 

a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesday, January 

28, 2015 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 

National Renewable Energy Laboratory 

(NREL) in conjunction with the DOE 

Fuel Cell Technologies Office’s 

Hydrogen Storage Program (http://

energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/11/f19/

fcto_myrdd_storage.pdf), will host a 

public workshop titled: DOE Materialsbased Hydrogen Storage Summit: 

Defining Pathways for Onboard 

Automotive Applications. 

Recent analysis efforts, including 

results from the Hydrogen Storage 

Engineering Center of Excellence, 

identified the material-level 

characteristics required to meet the DOE 

system-level performance targets. These 

results show that although the DOE has 

invested extensively in hydrogen 

storage materials development, no 

material has been identified that, when 

incorporated into a complete system, 

can meet the challenging DOE 

performance targets. 

Fuel cell electric vehicles are being 

introduced commercially today. 

Therefore, if materials-based storage 

technologies are to be employed on 

consumer vehicles in the future, it is 

imperative that the development of 

hydrogen storage materials be 

accelerated and efforts focused on 

pathways with the highest probability of 

success. Through an understanding of 

the material characteristics needed to 

meet system performance targets, it is 

expected that material development 

strategies can be optimized to meet the 

DOE hydrogen storage targets. 

In summary, this workshop will serve 

two main objectives: 

(1) Disseminate recent results from 

DOE Hydrogen Storage system modeling 

efforts and discuss their implications on 

hydrogen storage materials development 

efforts. 

(2) Gather input from meeting 

participants to identify hydrogen storage 

materials development pathways and 

potential future areas of research which 

will lead to the highest probability of 

success. This input will be used to help 

guide future activities for the DOE 

Hydrogen Storage Program.

the workshop including the current 

agenda. 

To register, please visit: http://www.

nrel.gov/ap/h2-storage-summit/. Please 

note that registration is required for all 

meeting attendees. Cash or check 

payment of $75 will be collected on the 

morning of the first day of the meeting.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 238 / Thursday, December 11, 2014 / Notices 73571 

FSC Project (Docket No. CP14–554– 

000), preparation of the Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) to comply with 

the NEPA of 1969 will combine all three 

applications. Within 90 days after the 

issuance of this Notice of Application, 

concurrent with the Notice of 

Application in CP15–16–000, the 

Commission staff will issue a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review that 

will indicate the anticipated date for the 

Commission’s staff issuance of the final 

EIS analyzing all three proposals. The 

issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review will also serve to 

notify federal and state agencies of the 

timing for the completion of all 

necessary reviews, and the subsequent 

need to complete all federal 

authorizations within 90 days of the

staff’s final EIS. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

7 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426.
