The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) plans to extend an information collection request for three years, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This request is focused on gathering data related to legal expenses incurred by contractors, such as litigation costs and legal budgets. The public is encouraged to comment on the necessity, accuracy, and ways to improve this data collection by June 9, 2025. The document is signed by Treena V. Garrett, the Federal Register Liaison Officer, on April 4, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Energy Department wants to keep asking companies for information about how much they spend on lawyers, and they want people's thoughts on it. They want to make sure the information they collect is useful and correct, and people have until June 9, 2025, to share what they think about this.
