and ensuring the environmental cleanup
of the nation’s nuclear weapons
complex. The workforce is comprised of
approximately 14,000 federal employees
and over 90,000 contractor employees at
the 17 national laboratories that provide
world-class scientific, technological,
and engineering capabilities to support
the DOE science, energy, and national
security missions.
Since taking office, President Obama
and DOE Secretary Moniz have
articulated clear goals for DOE in the
areas of energy, science, national
security, environmental clean-up, and
management. The Department’s first
strategic goal, for energy and science, is
to advance foundational science,
innovate energy technologies, and
inform data driven policies that enhance
U.S. economic growth and job creation,
energy security, and environmental
quality, with emphasis on
implementation of the President’s
Climate Action Plan to mitigate the risks
of and enhance resilience against
climate change. DOE’s strategic goal for
national security is to enhance national
security by maintaining and
modernizing the nuclear deterrent,
reducing global nuclear and cyber
security threats, providing for nuclear
propulsion, and stewarding key science,
technology, and engineering capabilities
and supporting infrastructure. The
Department’s strategic goal for
management and performance is to
position the Department of Energy to
meet the challenges of the 21st century
and the nation’s Cold War legacy
responsibilities by improving the
effectiveness, efficiency and
responsiveness of Departmental
management and operations, enhanced
stewardship of environmental
management and legacy issues,
modernization of Departmental facilities
and infrastructure and more efficient
and responsive mission support.
The strategy behind these goals is
explained in the draft DOE Strategic
Plan. The plan outlines how the DOE
will focus its world leading science and
research and development programs on
the nation’s most pressing energy and
security challenges. It is important to
note that the draft strategic plan is not
a national energy plan, since that is an
inherently multi-agency effort.
The draft DOE Strategic Plan outlines
the strategies the DOE intends to
employ for best utilizing these
resources. Once completed, the DOE
Strategic Plan shall be a matter of public
record and will be published on the
DOE Web site at http://energy.gov/
about-us/budget-performance.
While comments are invited on all
aspects of the DOE Strategic Plan, DOE

is particularly interested in: (a) Whether
the plan is easy to read and understand;
(b) whether the plan is complete,
sufficiently covering topics of interest to
the public; and (c) ways to enhance the
quality of the information in the plan.
Public Participation Policy
It is the policy of the Department to
ensure that public participation is an
integral and effective part of DOE
activities, and that decisions are made
with the benefit of significant public
perspectives.
The Department recognizes the many
benefits to be derived from public
participation for both stakeholders and
DOE. Public participation provides a
means for DOE to gather a diverse
collection of opinions, perspectives, and
values from the broadest spectrum of
the public, enabling the Department to
make more informed decisions. Public
participation benefits stakeholders by
creating an opportunity to provide input
on decisions that affect their
communities and our nation.
