SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Purpose of the Board: The 21st Century Energy Workforce Advisory 
Board (EWAB) advises the Secretary of Energy in developing a strategy 
for the Department of Energy (DOE) to support and develop a skilled 
energy workforce to meet the changing needs of the U.S. energy system. 
It was established pursuant to section 40211 of the Infrastructure 
Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Public Law 117-58 (42 U.S.C. 18744) in 
accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. 10. This is the eighth meeting of the 
EWAB.
    Tentative Agenda: The meeting will start at 3 p.m. eastern time on 
April 16, 2024. The tentative meeting agenda includes roll call, 
discussion of the Board's upcoming report, and public comments. The 
meeting will conclude at approximately 4:30 p.m.
    Public Participation: The meeting is open to the public via a 
virtual meeting option. Individuals who would like to attend must 
register for the meeting here: https://doe.webex.com/doe/j.php?MTID=mb31c55023ab755ab613a9f042600c6da. 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 April 16, 2024 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 p.m. eastern time on April 9, 2024. 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 p.m. eastern 
time on April 9, 2024, 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.
    Minutes: The minutes of this meeting will be available on the 21st 
Century Energy Workforce Advisory Board website at https://www.energy.gov/policy/21st-century-energy-workforce-advisory-board-ewab
