SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Purpose of the Committee: The Industrial Technology Innovation

116-260, and in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. 10. The Committee is 
established to advise the Secretary of Energy (Secretary) with respect 
to the Industrial Emissions Reductions Technology Development Program 
(the program) by identifying and evaluating any technologies being 
developed by the private sector relating to the focus areas described 
in section 454(c) of the EISA; identifying technology gaps in the 
private sector or other Federal agencies in those focus areas, and 
making recommendations on how to address those gaps; surveying and 
analyzing factors that prevent the adoption of emissions reduction 
technologies by the private sector; and recommending technology 
screening criteria for technology developed under the program to 
encourage adoption of the technology by the private sector.
    Purpose of Meeting: ITIAC will hold this meeting to receive a 
briefing from the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Efficiency and 
Decarbonization Office (IEDO) on the forthcoming vision study, Pathways 
for U.S. Industrial Transformations: Unlocking American Innovation, to 
help identify cost-effective and industry-specific strategic pathways 
to achieve a thriving U.S. industrial sector with net-zero greenhouse 
gas emissions by 2050. This briefing will inform ITIAC's ongoing work 
toward developing a strategic plan on how to achieve the goals of the 
Industrial Emissions Reductions Technology Development Program.
