Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 226 / Monday, November 29, 2021 / Notices the compilation of information with respect to the administration of Federal elections; to fulfill both the EAC and the Department of Defense Federal Voting Assistance Programs FVAP data collection requirements under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act UOCAVA; and meet its National Voter Registration Act NVRA mandate to collect information from states concerning the impact of that statute on the administration of Federal elections. In addition, under the NVRA, the EAC is responsible for collecting information and reporting, biennially, to Congress on the impact of that statute. The information the states are required to submit to the EAC for purposes of the NVRA report are found under Title 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations. States that respond to questions in this survey concerning voter registration-related matters will meet their NVRA reporting requirements under 52 U.S.C. 20508 and EAC regulations. Finally, UOCAVA
mandates that FVAP work with the EAC
and chief state election officials to develop standards for reporting UOCAVA voting information 52 U.S.C.
20302 and that FVAP will store the reported data and present the findings within the congressionally-mandated report to the President and Congress.
Additionally, UOCAVA requires that not later than 90 days after the date of each regularly scheduled general election for Federal office, each state and unit of local government which administered the election shall through the state, in the case of a unit of local government submit a report to the EAC
on the combined number of absentee ballots transmitted to absent uniformed services voters and overseas voters for the election and the combined number of such ballots which were returned by such voters and cast in the election, and shall make such a report available to the general public. States that complete and timely submit the UOCAVA section of the survey to the EAC will fulfill their UOCAVA reporting requirement under 52 U.S.C. 20302. In order to fulfill the above requirements, the EAC is seeking information relating to the period from the Federal general election day 2020 +1
through the November 2022 Federal general election. The EAC will provide the data regarding UOCAVA voting to FVAP after data collection is completed.
This data sharing reduces burden on local election offices because FVAP
does not have to conduct its own data collection to meet its reporting requirements.

on Energy Sector Supply Chain Review Undersecretary for Science and Energy and Office of Policy OP;
Department of Energy DOE.
ACTION: Request for information.
AGENCY:

The U.S. Department of Energy DOE Undersecretary for Science and Energy and Office of Policy OP request information on energy sector supply chains. This request for information RFI seeks input from all stakeholders involved directly and indirectly in the supply chains of energy, energy systems and technologies, and energy efficiency technologies from raw materials, processed materials, subcomponents, final products, to end-of-life material recovery and recyclingincluding but not limited to U.S. industry, researchers, academia, local governments, and civil society. This stakeholder input will inform the Departments efforts in building an energy sector industrial base that is diverse, resilient, and competitive while meeting economic, national security, and climate objectives.
DATES: Responses will be reviewed and considered on a rolling basis but are due no later than 5 p.m. ET on January 15, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background Executive Order 14017 Americas Supply Chains directs the Secretary of Energy to submit a report on supply chains for the energy sector industrial base as determined by the Secretary of Energy within one year of the date of the order 86 FR 11849 February 24, 2021. This RFI seeks public input to inform DOE on approaches and actions needed to build resilient supply chains for the energy sector. Resilient supply chains as defined by the Executive Order 14017 means supply chains that are secure and diversefacilitating greater domestic production, a range of supply, built-in redundancies, adequate stockpiles, safe and secure digital networks, and a world-class American manufacturing base and workforce.
DOE recognizes that meeting U.S.
jobs, economic, and emissions goals which include a 5052% reduction in emissions by 2030 from a 2005 baseline and net zero greenhouse gas emissions economy-wide by no later than 2050, will require a significant number of clean energy and clean energy enabling technologies to be deployed at a dramatically increasing scale at a time when other countries are expanding their clean energy sectors. DOE has identified technologies and crosscutting topics for analysis in the timeframe set by the Executive Order. The list of the selected technology sectors includes solar photovoltaic PV; wind; electric grid, including transformers and highvoltage direct current HVDC; energy storage; hydropower, including pumped
