View Rule

In accordance with Executive Order (EO) 13992, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has reviewed 10 CFR part 1061 and, after review, proposes to withdraw it. Part 1061 established internal agency requirements for the contents of guidance documents, and procedures for providing notice of, and soliciting public comment on certain guidance documents. DOE has tentatively concluded that part 1061 will hinder DOE in providing timely guidance in furtherance of DOE’s statutory duties, particularly DOE’s ability to address the economic recovery and climate change challenges enumerated in E.O. 13992. Accordingly, DOE is proposing to withdraw part 1061.
