DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

 

Public Meeting

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, DOE.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. Department of Energy's 
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE) will conduct a 
workshop to discuss issues related to the Office's draft strategic 
plan. A notice of availability for public comment on the draft 
strategic plan was published in the Federal Register on June 14, 1994.

DATES: The workshop will be held on September 19-20 at the Sheraton 
Crystal City, 1000 Jefferson Davis Highway, in Arlington, Virginia. The 
meeting will open at 1:00 p.m. on Monday the 19th, adjourning for the 
day at approximately 6:00 p.m. The workshop will reconvene at 8:00 a.m. 
on the 20th and close at approximately 4:00 p.m.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Dion, Office of Planning and 
Assessment, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. 
Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Ave., S.W., EE-72, Washington, 
DC 20585, (202) 586-9470.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft strategic plan sets forth EE's 
goals, objectives, and strategies for program implementation. EE will 
use this draft document as part of a comprehensive planning process 
involving stakeholders and oriented toward careful identification and 
thorough analysis of strategic issues. The outcome of the effort will 
be a final version of the strategic plan and a five-year program plan.
    The draft strategic plan is divided into four sections: overview, 
mission and vision, goals and objectives, and EE strategy. The EE goals 
and objectives are aligned with those expressed in the Department of 
Energy's strategic plan, Fueling a Competitive Economy. The strategy 
section addresses EE's technology, market, and organizational 
strategies. A series of short appendices is also included in the draft 
strategic plan: situation analysis, description of EE stakeholder 
categories, description of EE sectors' individualized missions, and 
evolution of EE's strategic planning process.
    As part of its strategic planning process, EE is sponsoring the 
development of ten issue papers that analyze driving forces and trends 
and present options for EE's objectives and strategies vis-a-vis 
sustainable development, pollution prevention, electric utility 
restructuring, natural gas utilization, and other issues. Participation 
in the workshop discussion is by invitation, and limited to individuals 
who have been actively involved in the analysis and review of these 
issues on behalf of EE.
    The purpose of the workshop is to provide feedback to EE on whether 
its draft strategic plan adequately addresses needs identified in 
issues analyses. Workshop participants will review the goals, 
objectives and strategies in the draft strategic plan to see if they 
are consistent with the issues analyses. Anticipated products from the 
workshop include options for revised or new goals and objectives; 
technology, market, and organizational strategies that better reflect 
the insights gained in the issues analyses; and ideas for near-term 
activities designed to set an immediate course for progress on each 
issue.
    The workshop will be structured to elicit individual views, not to 
reach consensus. Members of the general public are invited to observe 
the workshop, and submit written comments on the draft strategic plan 
by the previously noticed September 30 deadline. The views expressed at 
the meetings will be considered in revising the strategic plan.

    Issued in Washington, D.C. on August 23, 1994.

Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
