SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is hosting a summit to target 
executive members from DOE, the national laboratories, and the marine 
and hydrokinetic (MHK) energy industry to showcase DOE's MHK 
investments in the national laboratories and identify activities ripe 
for technology transfer. By participating in this summit, attendees 
will have a unique opportunity to hear firsthand about important 
innovations in the MHK research community, DOE's Small Business Voucher 
program (Round 2), and DOE's research and development priorities for 
ocean wave, tidal, current, and river energy.
    The Wind and Water Power Technologies Office (WWPTO) has selected 
subject matter experts from DOE, the National Renewable Energy 
Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and Pacific Northwest 
National Laboratory to discuss DOE's MHK initiatives associated with 
facilitating industry engagement with the national laboratories. In 
particular, the Summit will hold sessions that discuss cutting-edge 
department activities that accelerate the deployment of MHK 
technologies through improved performance, lowered costs, and reduced 
market barriers. The Summit will also feature a session where industry 
representatives will discuss how to fulfill industry-wide research 
priorities, maintain feedback loops throughout the research and 
development process, and how to engage with private sector partners.

Public Participation

    The event is open to the public based upon space availability. DOE 
will also accept public comments as described above for purposes of 
better understanding the MHK industry and challenges associated with 
increased deployment. 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 session to obtain any group 
position or consensus from the meeting 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 
for public comment. For those interested in providing additional public 
comment, the summary will be posted at water.energy.gov.
