Annual Report of Closed Advisory Committee Meetings

In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. 1009(d)), and section 102-3.175(c) of the General Services Administration's (GSA) Final Rule on Federal Advisory Committee Management, the Department of Energy has issued its 2024 Annual Report of Closed Advisory Committee meetings. The report covers three closed meetings of the ACNS held in 2024, all in Washington, DC. Although there were two meetings in 2024 of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) with Federal Register Notices which indicated partially closed meetings, there were no closed portions for either meeting, due to the President's schedule.

The Advisory Committee for Nuclear Security (ACNS) held closed meetings on the following dates in 2024: March 26, August 13, and December 3. At the March 26, 2024, meeting, ACNS discussed the Science, Technology, and Engineering (ST&E) integrated strategy at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), as well as the Enterprise Blueprint, a 25-year plan to align the delivery of specialized infrastructure with demands across NNSA missions. At the August 13, 2024, meeting, ACNS discussed Defense ( print page 14817) Nuclear Nonproliferation Programs, Integrated Plutonium Program, and Pipeline & Workforce. At the December 3, 2024, meeting, ACNS closed out two subcommittee studies on Modern Materials and Manufacturing (M3) and the ST&E Revitalization.

This report was also submitted to the Library of Congress, FACA Desk for public inspection and use.
