The Department of Energy is inviting public input on autonomous experimentation platforms as part of the Material Genome Initiative. This request for information (RFI) aims to gather comments on developing these platforms to enhance materials research and development, focusing on aspects like laboratory automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Responses, which must be submitted by March 21, 2025, should address several areas, including infrastructure mapping, partnership models, workforce development, and the integration of scientific equipment. Additionally, the RFI stresses the importance of not including confidential business information in public submissions.

The U.S. International Trade Commission has started an investigation following a complaint by Klein Tools, Inc. This complaint, filed on February 11, 2025, and supplemented on March 3, 2025, claims that Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation has violated patent rules by importing and selling glow fish tape systems and safety helmet systems that infringe certain patents.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is proposing to create a new system of records under the Privacy Act to enhance the scanning process at the Mail Recovery Center (MRC). This new system aims to improve how the USPS handles undeliverable mail by consolidating related functions and using updated scanner technology to manage lost and undeliverable items more efficiently. The proposed changes are intended to provide better customer service by making it easier for USPS to notify customers about their lost mail, including sending images of lost checks, while ensuring privacy and security standards are maintained. The revisions will automatically take effect on February 12, 2021, unless any objections are raised before that date.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a final interpretive rule regarding energy conservation standards for products like residential furnaces and commercial water heaters. The rule states that non-condensing technology and its associated venting is considered a "feature" that must be preserved under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). This decision comes after public comments and aims to prevent eliminating this technology through energy-saving regulations. This interpretation may limit potential energy savings but allows consumers more choices and prevents unnecessary building modifications. The DOE also withdrew previous proposals on energy conservation standards that were inconsistent with this interpretation.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is inviting public comments on its draft Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM) to inform its development. The feedback sought includes input from various stakeholders like industry experts, academia, and government agencies, and aims to guide future technology studies and commercial efforts in energy storage. Comments should be submitted electronically by February 3, 2025, following specified guidelines to ensure their consideration. This opportunity is for information gathering only and does not solicit proposals or guarantee future funding opportunities.
