Bill Summary

AN ACT To reestablish the National Coal Council in the Department of Energy to provide advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Energy on matters related to coal and the coal industry, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill reestablishes the National Coal Council (NCC) within the Department of Energy, restoring an advisory body that will provide recommendations and advice to the Secretary of Energy specifically about coal and the coal industry. The bill stipulates that the Council will be reestablished according to its charter as it existed on November 19, 2021, and will be subject to most provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which governs how federal advisory committees operate and ensure transparency. However, the bill specifically exempts the NCC from the standard termination provisions of FACA, which would typically require periodic review and potential dissolution of advisory committees. This suggests a long-term commitment to maintaining the Council as a consistent source of expertise and guidance on coal-related matters. The bill's primary purpose appears to be ensuring continued, structured input from industry experts to help inform energy policy and decision-making related to coal.
