    It is the policy of the EWAB to accept written public comments no 
longer than 5 pages and to accommodate oral public comments, whenever 
possible. The EWAB expects that public statements presented at its 
meetings will not be repetitive of previously submitted oral or written 
statements. The public comment period for this meeting will take place 
on September 18, 2023, at a time specified in the meeting agenda. This 
public comment period is designed only for substantive commentary on 
the EWAB's work, not for business marketing purposes. The Designated 
Federal Officer will conduct the meeting to facilitate the orderly 
conduct of business.
    Oral Comments: To be considered for the public speaker list at the 
meeting, interested parties should register to speak by contacting 
[email protected] no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 11, 
2023. To accommodate as many speakers as possible, the time for public 
comments will be limited to three (3) minutes per person, with a total 
public comment period of up to 15 minutes. If more speakers register 
than there is space available on the agenda, the EWAB will select 
speakers on a first-come, first-served basis from those who applied. 
Those not able to present oral comments may always file written 
comments with the Board.
    Written Comments: Although written comments are accepted 
continuously, written comments relevant to the subjects of the meeting 
should be submitted to [email protected] no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern 
Time on September 11, 2023, so that the comments may be made available 
to the EWAB members prior to this meeting for their consideration. 
Please note that because EWAB operates under the provisions of FACA, 
all public comments and related materials will be treated as public 
documents and will be made available for public inspection, including 
being posted on the EWAB website.

Century Energy Workforce Advisory Board website at https://www.energy.gov/policy/21st-century-energy-workforce-advisory-board-ewab
