The U.S. Department of Energy this week reinstated the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB), which was dissolved under the Bush Administration.
The twelve-member board comprised of scientists, business executives, academics and former government officials will serve as an independent advisory committee to Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
The Board is meant to provide advice and recommendations to the Secretary on the Department’s basic and applied research, economic and national security policy, educational issues, operational issues and other activities as directed by the Secretary.
SEAB reports directly to the Secretary of Energy. It was chartered in 1990 to provide the Secretary with timely, balanced, external advice on issues concerning the Department. The board is expected to meet twice a year and at other times as needed. Subcommittees are also expected to be organized under SEAB.
