40-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill requires the Secretary of Energy to reestablish the National Coal Council, an advisory group within the Department of Energy, using the charter it operated under as of November 19, 2021. The council studies coal-related issues and gives advice and recommendations to the Secretary but cannot create laws or regulations. It also exempts the council from the Federal Advisory Committee Act's automatic termination requirement, though most other transparency rules still apply.
The bill affects the coal industry, energy policymakers, and the Department of Energy, including coal companies, miners, and related businesses.
The council would give the coal industry a formal advisory channel to federal officials, but it does not change any regulations, taxes, or funding on its own.
