Bill > S2044

This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of Energy to relocate the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (OFECM) from Washington, DC to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by December 31, 2026. The bill mandates that within one year after the relocation is completed, the Secretary must submit a detailed report to Congress addressing several key aspects of the move, including the number of employees who leave the office during and after the relocation, the reasons for any employee departures, strategies for addressing potential staff attrition, and an assessment of how the move impacts employees' ability to negotiate employment conditions through their representatives. The legislation overrides existing provisions in U.S. Code Title 4, Section 72, which likely governs federal agency locations, and represents a specific geographical repositioning of a key Department of Energy office responsible for managing fossil energy and carbon management initiatives.
