The Industrial Technology Innovation Advisory Committee (ITIAC; Committee) was established on April 20, 2022, pursuant to the Energy Act of 2020, 42 U.S.C. § 17114, and in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. §10.
The Committee is established to advise the Secretary of Energy on a program to advance innovative industrial technologies that increase the economic competitiveness of industry and manufacturing in the United States, increase the viability and competitiveness of United States industrial technology exports, and achieve emissions reduction in nonpower industrial sectors. The Committee provides a non-governmental, industry-focused perspective on how DOE can increase the competitiveness and efficiency of the U.S. industrial sector by strengthening key industries, developing innovative sources of process heat, leveraging technologies that enhance productivity and efficiency, and advancing other Secretarial priorities.
The Committee shall also develop a strategic plan on how to achieve the program’s goals and, in consultation with the Secretary and the Director of the Office of Science Technology and Policy (Director) propose missions and goals for the program consistent with the purposes of the program described in section 454(b)(1) of the EISA.

Candidate Identification Process
The Membership Balance Plan guides the approach for the selection of Committee members.
The Designated Federal Officer (DFO) will identify candidates for appointment to the Committee by obtaining nominations from within DOE and from external regulatory and stakeholder organizations on an annual basis as needed to fill membership vacancies and obtain balance in points of view.
Additionally, open calls for candidates may be published on the ITIAC website and in the Federal Register. DOE is soliciting nominations for the ITIAC through June 13, 2025; see the Federal Register Notice for more information.
A short list of the best qualified candidates with the technical expertise and relevant points of view will be developed to maintain balance and fulfill the Committee’s mission, in coordination with the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) management. The resulting top candidates are contacted for interest and availability and nominated for appointment to the Committee. The candidate list will be evaluated by the Assistant Secretary for EERE, the Office of General Counsel, the Under Secretary for Science and Innovation and the Committee Management Officer.
Letters of invitation to serve are extended by the Secretary of Energy. If any vacancies occur during the life of the Committee, DOE may review the initial candidate list, identify the best qualified candidates to replace the missing point of view, and initiate the review process as described above, or begin a new candidate identification process. Committee members will be appointed for a two-year term, and may be reappointed for up to two successive terms. Appointments may be made in a manner that allows the terms of the members serving at any time to expire at spaced intervals to ensure continuity in the functioning of the Committee. The Secretary, or designee, will consult with the Director, or designee, as part of the candidate identification and membership process.
