Overview
This bill aims to restore the National Coal Council within the Department of Energy. The council, which previously provided advice to the Secretary of Energy on coal and the coal industry, will be reestablished using its charter as of November 19, 2021. The bill also removes a requirement that the council be formally re-chartered every two years under the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
