Reestablish National Coal Council

National Coal Council Reestablishment Act This bill provides statutory authority for the National Coal Council and directs the Department of Energy to reestablish the council in accordance with the charter that was in effect on November 19, 2021. Established in 1984, the council made recommendations to DOE on matters relating to coal and the coal industry. In addition, the bill removes the requirement under the Federal Advisory Committee Act for the council to be re-chartered every two years.

1. The council will operate under the same charter that was effective until November 2021. 2. It will be subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, ensuring transparency and accountability. 3. The council's termination provisions from the Federal Advisory Committee Act will not apply, allowing it to continue operating indefinitely. 4. Members of the council will include representatives from the coal industry and related sectors.

Coal industry workers and companies will be most affected by this legislation.
