Bill > S3335

This bill reestablishes the National Coal Council within the Department of Energy, providing a formal mechanism for industry experts to advise the Secretary of Energy on matters related to coal and the coal industry. The bill specifies that the National Coal Council will be established according to a charter filed with Congress on June 16, 2025, and will be subject to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which sets standards for how federal advisory committees are created, operated, and managed. By reestablishing this council, the legislation aims to create a structured forum for coal industry stakeholders to provide recommendations and insights to the federal government, potentially influencing energy policy, technological development, and industry practices related to coal. The bill is relatively concise, focusing primarily on the council's reinstatement and its legal framework, without delving into specific policy recommendations or detailed operational guidelines.
