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 11:05 a.m. Eastern Time 
on September 10, 2024. The tentative meeting agenda includes roll call, 
a vote by the Board to accept the report, a presentation by sub-
committee chairs to the Secretary regarding the broad strategies and 
recommendations suggested in the report, acknowledgement of the Board's 
report by the Secretary, and a public comment period. The meeting will 
conclude at approximately 12:00 p.m.

virtual meeting option. Individuals who would like to attend must

    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 10, 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 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 6, 
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.
