ACTION: Notice of availability and
request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE or Department) has
initiated the second Quadrennial
Technology Review (QTR). The DOE–
QTR–2015 Framing Document has been
developed as a principle means of
facilitating stakeholder engagement in
the QTR process. The framing document
describes the Nation’s energy landscape
and challenges, important research,
development, demonstration and
deployment (RDD&D) opportunities
across energy supply and end-uses in
working towards addressing U.S.
energy-linked economic, environmental,
and national security challenges. The
insight gained from QTR process will
provide essential information for
decision-makers as they develop
funding decisions, approaches to
public-private partnerships, and other
strategic actions over the next five years.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted on or before February 20,
2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
nation faces serious energy-linked
economic, environmental, and security
challenges. Addressing these challenges
requires an aggressive plan for our
science and energy enterprise while
ensuring that America maintains its
leadership in a broad range of science
and technology activities. These
activities include basic and applied
research in the physical sciences,
developing the next generation of
computational technology and
developing and maintaining world class
scientific user facilities. The output of
the QTR process will be coordinated
with the Quadrennial Energy Review
(QER). These planning products will
build and extend existing strategic,
program and budget planning activities
within the Science and Energy offices
and are expected to inform ongoing
budget discussions.
The QTR 2015, focusing on DOE
energy technology RDD&D activities,
builds upon the first QTR in 2011, and
complements the work of the QER,
which focuses on government-wide
energy policy. The 2011 QTR was
developed in response to the Report to
the President on ‘‘Accelerating the Pace
of Change in Energy Technologies
through an Integrated Federal Energy
Policy’’ by the President’s Council of
Advisors on Science and Technology.
The first QTR defined a framework for
understanding and discussing energy
system challenges, established a set of
priorities for the Department, and
explained to stakeholders the roles of
DOE and the national laboratories, the
broader government, the private sector,
academia, and innovation in energy
transformation.
QTR 2015 will describe the nation’s
energy landscape and the dramatic
changes that have taken place in the last
four years. Specifically, it will begin by
building on the first QTR and
identifying what has changed in the
technologies reviewed within it since
2011. It will then identify the RDD&D
activities, opportunities, and pathways
forward to help address our national
energy challenges. QTR 2015 will
approach the analysis from a strong
systems perspective, it will explore the
integration of science and energy
technology RDD&D, it will examine
cross-cutting technology RDD&D, and it
