Bill > HR4415

This bill requires the Secretary of Energy to move the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (OFECM), which is currently located in Washington, DC, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by December 31, 2026. The legislation 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 employee attrition (how many staff members leave the office during or after the relocation), the reasons for any staff departures, strategies for mitigating workforce reduction, and an assessment of how the relocation impacts employees' ability to collectively negotiate their working conditions. The bill aims to physically relocate a federal energy office from the nation's capital to a major industrial city in Pennsylvania, potentially signaling support for energy-related work in a region with significant fossil fuel and industrial heritage.
