This legislation mandates the reestablishment of the National Coal Council within the Department of Energy. The Council's primary function will be to offer expert advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Energy on critical issues pertaining to coal and the broader coal industry. The reestablishment will adhere to the Council's charter that was in effect on November 19, 2021, ensuring continuity in its operational framework. While the Council will generally be subject to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), a specific exemption is made for Section 1013 of FACA, which typically governs the termination of advisory committees.
