This is a routine request for OMB to renew its approval of the collections of information currently approved under this OMB control number. The Bureau is not proposing any new or revised collections of information pursuant to this request.

ACTION: Request for information (RFI); reopening of public comment period. AGENCY: On June 10, 2022, NETL, on behalf of DOE, issued a Request for Information in the Federal Register seeking public comment on the Interagency Working Group on Coal and Power Plant Communities and Economic Revitalization (Interagency Working Group). The information requested will help inform the efforts of the Interagency Working Group. Comments were due by August 9, 2022. Prior to the end of the comment period for the request for information, DOE received requests from stakeholders in that region to extend the public comment period to focus on recovery due to severe flooding in Eastern Kentucky. The Interagency Working Group is reopening its public comment period by 30 days. Public comments will now be accepted through September 8, 2022. SUMMARY: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Total number of responses per year VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Aug 10, 2022 Jkt 256001 Interested persons are invited to submit responses by September 8, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Briggs White, Deputy Executive Director, Energy Communities IWG, (412) 386–7546. Questions may be addressed to briggswhite@energycommunities.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NETL, on behalf of DOE, published a Request for Information (RFI) seeking input from the public on the Interagency Working Group on Coal and Power Plant Communities and Economic Revitalization (Interagency Working Group). 87 FR 35535. Specifically, the RFI requested comments on the challenges facing energy communities, measures to address those needs, and recommendations for the Federal Government to consider. DOE requested submission of written comments by August 9, 2022. On July 29, the Blue Green Alliance shared that several stakeholders in Appalachia would like to see the comment deadline delayed given that they are dealing with the flooding—they did not request a specific period for the extension. The comment period for the RFI closed on August 9, 2022. After carefully considering this request, NETL, on behalf of DOE, has determined that a reopening of the comment period to allow additional time for interested parties to submit comments is appropriate. Therefore, NETL, on behalf of DOE, is reopening the comment period and will accept comments until September 8, 2022. Accordingly, NETL, on behalf of DOE, DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 will consider any comments received by this date, to be timely submitted.
