Correction
On August 28, 2018 (83 FR 43857–
43860), the Department of Defense
published a system of records notice, FR
Doc. 2018–18587, that proposed to
modify Data Warehouse Business
Intelligence System (DWBIS), N05220–
1. Subsequent to the publication of the
notice, DoD discovered that the docket
ID had published incorrectly. The
docket ID incorrectly published as
‘‘USN–2018–OS–0013.’’
The docket ID is corrected to read as
set forth in this notice.

SAFETY BOARD
Sunshine Act Meetings
1:45 p.m.–4:00 p.m.,
September 17, 2018.
PLACE: Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety
Board, 625 Indiana Avenue NW, Suite
700, Washington, DC 20004.
STATUS: Closed. During the closed
meeting, the Board Members will
discuss issues dealing with potential
Recommendations to the Secretary of
Energy. The Board is invoking the
exemptions to close a meeting described
in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(3) and (9)(B) and 10
CFR 1704.4(c) and (h). The Board has
determined that it is necessary to close
the meeting since conducting an open
meeting is likely to disclose matters that
are specifically exempted from
disclosure by statute, and/or be likely to
significantly frustrate implementation of
a proposed agency action. In this case,
the deliberations will pertain to
potential Board Recommendations
which, under 42 U.S.C. 2286d(b) and
(h)(3), may not be made publicly
available until after they have been
received by the Secretary of Energy or
the President, respectively.
MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The meeting
will proceed in accordance with the
closed meeting agenda which is posted
on the Board’s public website at
www.dnfsb.gov. Technical staff may
present information to the Board. The
Board Members are expected to conduct
deliberations regarding potential
Recommendations to the Secretary of
Energy.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Notice of Public Meeting
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) is hosting a workshop to
develop new prizes, competitions, and
related initiatives that advance water
security in the United States and
globally. The workshop will inform a
DOE-led Grand Challenge that seeks
breakthroughs on a set of critical water
issues through a coordinated suite of
prizes, competitions, early-stage
research and development, and related
programs.
DATES: The public meeting will be held
on October 25, 2018 from 8 a.m. to 4
p.m.
ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be
held at DOE’s National Renewable
Energy Laboratory, 15301 Denver West
Parkway, Golden, CO 80401.

Questions may be directed to Andre de
Fontaine, U.S. Department of Energy,

Renewable Energy, 1000 Independence

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Water is a
critical resource for human health,
economic growth, and agricultural
productivity. The United States has
benefitted from access to low-cost water
supplies—however, new challenges are
emerging that, if left unaddressed, could
shift this paradigm.
In the U.S., a growing number of
regions are competing for fresh water
sources and water quality problems are
impacting human health and the
environment. Municipal water and
wastewater treatment systems face
billions of dollars in unmet
infrastructure investment needs, which
will likely increase as population grows,
and water and wastewater treatment
requirements become more stringent.

Lack of safe and secure water supplies
is also a global problem. According to
the World Health Organization, more
than 2 billion people globally lack
access to safe, readily available water at
home.1 Aside from the humanitarian
implications, water security is also an
issue of national security.
On March 13, 2018, U.S. Department
of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) Secretary Perry led a
roundtable discussion on the use of
challenges and prize competitions to
drive innovation on critical water
issues. In conjunction with this, DOE’s
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy (‘‘EERE’’) published
in the Federal Register a request for
information (RFI) seeking input on the
possible use of challenges and prize
competitions to address technical and
other barriers that may prevent longterm access to low-cost water supplies.
Through the RFI responses, a series of
internal DOE meetings, and
conversations with external experts,
DOE identified the following set of key
issues to address through this effort:
1. Cost-competitive desalination
technologies
2. Transforming produced water from a
waste to a resource
3. Reducing water impacts in the power
sector
4. Lowering energy costs in wastewater
treatment
5. Developing off-grid, modular energywater systems
6. Cross-cutting, or open issues
The RFI can be found at https://
www.federalregister.gov/documents/
2018/03/19/2018-05472/notice-ofrequest-for-information-rfi-on-criticalwater-issues-prize-competition. DOE is
now announcing a public meeting to
gather additional, focused input on the
use of prize competitions to make
progress on these water issues.
The purpose of this public meeting is
to solicit feedback from industry,
academia, research laboratories,
government agencies and other
stakeholders on potential prize
competitions that could be developed to
address these key water issues.
Participants will spend much of the day
in breakout sessions aligned with the six
topic areas identified above.
Participants will be asked to brainstorm
specific prize ideas aligned with the
breakout topics and report the results of
their discussion out to the group. DOE’s
goal is to produce a number of different
