SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy accelerates 
development and deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy 
technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy 
security, environmental quality, and economic vitality. The Wind 
Program supports environmentally sustainable development of wind power 
and invests in projects that seek to understand and mitigate the 
impacts of wind energy on wildlife and to address other siting issues.
    The Wind Program is hosting a meeting to seek input on its draft 5 
to 15 year wind energy environmental research strategy. Specifically, 
the purpose of this meeting is to seek individual input on near-term 
and long-term wind energy environmental research priorities. The 
Program will also seek input on how the draft plan aligns with and 
complements the current and future research goals and plans of other 
individuals and relevant organizations.
    Participants will include stakeholders from the wind energy 
environmental community, including but not limited to wind plant 
developers/operators, wildlife regulatory agencies, environmental 
consultants/researchers, and NGOs.

Public Participation

    While this meeting is open to the public, seating is limited and 
will be provided on a first-come-first-served basis. Individuals 
wishing to participate must submit a registration request to 
[email protected]. DOE will also accept public comments for 
purposes of better understanding stakeholder's research priorities 
relating to understanding, avoiding, minimizing, mitigating, and 
compensating for wildlife impacts from wind power. These comments may 
be submitted at [email protected].
    Participants should limit information and comments to those based 
on personal experience, individual advice, information, or facts 
regarding this topic. It is not the object of this meeting to obtain 
any group position or consensus from participants. To most effectively 
use the limited time, please refrain from passing judgment on another 
participant's recommendations or advice, and instead, concentrate on 
your individual experiences.
    Following the meeting, a summary will be compiled by DOE and posted 
to wind.energy.gov for public review. Those interested in providing 
additional comments may do so by emailing 
[email protected].
