VerDate Mar<15>2010
In accordance with Section
743 of Division C of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–117), DNFSB is publishing this
notice to advise the public of the
availability of (1) its analysis of the FY
2011 Service Contract inventory and (2)
the FY 2012 Service Contract inventory.
This inventory provides information on
service contract actions over $25,000
that were made in FY 2012. The
information is organized by function to
show how contracted resources are
distributed throughout the agency. The
inventory has been developed in
accordance with guidance issued on
December 19, 2011, by the Office of
Management and Budget’s Office of
Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP).
OFPP’s guidance is available at https://
www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/
omb/procurement/memo/servicecontract-inventory-guidance.pdf.
DNFSB has posted its FY 2011 analysis
and FY 2012 inventory and a summary
of the inventory on the DNFSB
homepage at the following link: https://
www.dnfsb.gov/open.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions regarding the service contract
inventory should be directed to Mark
Welch at 202–694–7043 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) is in the
process of developing a targeted
research and development roadmap to
address grid challenges that will help
guide investments over the next five
years. Accordingly, DOE is compiling
key reference material and input from a
very broad scope of stakeholders from
across all sectors of the electricity grid.
This process entails convening
workshops and leveraging reference
material regarding various aspects of the
grid—including (but not limited to)
smart grid, energy storage, cyber
security, advanced computation—and
investigating integration issues within
the transmission and distribution
systems.
Each of the discussion summary
documents is the product of separate
workshops hosted by the DOE’s Grid
Tech Team (GTT). Each workshop was
posted publicly online and announced
through outreach to stakeholders across
various sectors of the industry. The
intent was to encourage participation by
the broadest scope of stakeholders as
possible. The Distribution Workshop
was held on September 24–26, 2012; the
Transmission Workshop took place on
November 1–2, 2012. The workshops
were held at separate conference
facilities in Arlington, Virginia. The
discussion summary documents can be
found online at: www.energy.gov/

corresponding link under the GTT
Workshops header).

The basic structure of the workshops
had all the attendees participate in
breakout sessions, whereby smaller
groups considered particular topics. The
underlying purpose of both workshops
was not to build consensus among
stakeholders, but rather to gather
information based on the individual
experiences and expertise of the
participants relating to the challenges
and opportunities facing the electricity
distribution and transmission systems.
The GTT took all the information from
the breakout sessions and synthesized
the common themes into the Discussion
Summary documents that are hereby
available for review and open for
comments.
The discussion summary documents
will be valuable additions to the
growing body of relevant reference
material. Thus, the summaries of these
workshop discussions, including
consideration of public comments, will
provide a key resource to help DOE
guide its R&D investments in the near
term.
DOE intends to finalize and make
publically available these documents
with consideration of comments
received. Comments are invited on all
aspects of the workshop topics,
although DOE is primarily seeking
answers to the following questions:
i. Are there any issues in the
discussion summary documents that
require particular consideration? Are
there any issues in the discussion
summary documents that do not
warrant further consideration? Please
provide any examples or information
that further supports your comment.
ii. Are there crucial challenges or
opportunities associated with the
Electricity Distribution or Transmission
System (or both) that are not sufficiently
represented in these documents?
The Department of Energy will review
all timely written responses to this
notice. DOE intends to finalize and
make available the Electricity
Distribution and Transmission
Workshop Discussion Summary reports.
