``Energy Infrastructure of the United States and Projected Siting

extended to April 30, 1994, as noticed in the Federal Register on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Department of Energy issued on 
December 16, 1993 this draft report and an accompanying documentation 
summary under the authority provided by the Department of Energy 
Organization Act. The draft report is the result of over a year-long 
effort on behalf of staff representing DOE's various subdivisions 
reflecting diverse expertise and knowledge. The report examines the 
possible need for expanding the nation's energy infrastructure, and 
issues related to that potential growth, based on projections of energy 
supply and demand developed by the Energy Information Administration, 
with the goal of developing appropriate policy direction for the 
Department.
    The agenda for each stakeholder meeting will cover topics such as 
siting needs, siting problems and constraints, the ideas presented in 
the draft report, and constructive roles for the Department of Energy 
and other federal agencies in improving energy facility siting 
processes. The meetings will be structured to elicit individual views, 
not to reach consensus. Members of the general public are invited to 
observe the meetings and offer comment during a portion of the agenda, 
within space and time constraints. The views expressed at the meetings 
will be considered in preparing the final report.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on February 24, 1994.
Abraham E. Haspel,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Policy, Planning and Program Evaluation.
