The National Petroleum Council (NPC) is chartered to provide the Secretary of Energy with advice and recommendations on matters requested by the Secretary, relating to oil and , or the oil and natural gas industries. This purpose is largely accomplished through the conduct of studies. Matters that the Secretary would like to have considered by the NPC are submitted in the form of a letter outlining the nature and scope of the study. The NPC reserves the right to decide whether it will consider any matter referred to it. Over the last 70 years, the NPC has prepared over 200 reports dealing with virtually every aspect of oil and gas supply and demand. These reports have not only served as valuable tools in the development of energy policy but also have enabled government and industry to anticipate and jointly seek solutions to current and future energy challenges. NPC reports are widely circulated and serve as references for energy analysts, industry and government decision makers, legislators, and academicians.

20b. How does the Committee balance its membership? Members of the NPC are apppointed by the Secretary of Energy and represent specific oil and gas industry sectors or related interests. These include balanced representation from among, but not limited to: integrated oil and natural gas companies; independent refiners, large and small independent oil and gas producers; and retail oil and gas companies; construction, drilling, and oilfield services; financial and consultant services; electric companies and other large consumers; and non-industry or not-for-profit organizations such as academia, States, Native American Tribes, and professional societies.

20c. How frequent and relevant are the Committee Meetings? The NPC meets in Washington, DC, once or twice a year and study groups meet as necessary. The time, place, and agenda of each Council and study group meeting are determined by its respective chair person, with the concurrence of the Department. The knowledge and experience that resides in the NPC provides a perspective on oil and natural gas issues and the oil and natural gas industries which is otherwise unavailable.

20d. Why can't the advice or information this committee provides be obtained elsewhere? There are no other sources with the breadth, depth, and diversity of oil and gas technical and policy knowledge and expertise that the NPC provides. No other federal advisory committee currently performs, or is capable of performing, the functions of the NPC. It would not be possible for the Department to duplicate the knowledge and expertise embodied in the Council and its study committees in addressing important oil and gas issues, e.g., by using alternative methods such as public hearings, contractor work efforts, or in-house study efforts.

20e. Why is it necessary to close and/or partially closed committee meetings? N/A

21. Remarks Originally established by the Department of the Interior in 1946 at the request of President Harry S. Truman and subsequently transferred to the Department of Energy in 1977, the National Petroleum Council (NPC) provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Energy on matters related to oil and natural gas, and the oil and natural gas industries. In 2017, Energy Secretary Rick Perry requested the NPC conduct two studies on U.S. Oil and Natural Gas Transportation Infrastructure and Capture, Use and Storage that are relevant to Administration objectives pertaining to U.S. energy dominance. In 2018, he also requested the NPC undertake an Arctic Potential supplemental assessment. In 2016, Secretary Ernest Moniz requested the NPC conduct an exercise to identify and scope potential study topics for the next Secretary, and also continue efforts to support DOE on emergency preparedness. In 2013, Secretary Moniz requested that the NPC conduct two strategic, short term studies to inform government decision making, specifically studies on natural gas and oil infrastructure resilience (Emergency Preparedness for Natural Disasters) completed in December 2014 and Arctic Research completed in March 2015. In 2009, Energy Secretary Steven Chu had requested the NPC undertake two major studies, continuing a tradition of NPC studies having the potential for broad public policy impact. The first NPC study, completed in 2011, assessed the character and potential of North American natural gas and oil resources and the contribution that natural gas can make in a transition to a lower carbon energy mix while achieving objectives of environmental protection, economic growth, and . The second NPC study on future transportation , completed in 2012, examined the prospects for integrating new fuels and vehicles into the marketplace and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. transportation sector by 2050. Energy challenges addressed in the previous NPC study reports have included ensuring prudent development of the Nation's abundant oil and gas resources, reducing the Nation's reliance on oil imports and oil use in the transportation sector, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Technology innovation, the capabilities of industry, and other factors will continue to be critical to meeting the future energy needs of American consumers and protecting the environment.

Narrative Description The findings and recommendations of NPC studies support more informed energy-related public policy decisions and the achievement of Department of Energy and Administration goals related to energy, the environment, and the economy, including actions to support U.S. energy dominance, enable responsible development of domestic oil and natural gas resources, and strengthen the Nation's infrastructure.

What are the most significant program outcomes associated with this committee? Checked if Applies Improvements to health or safety Trust in government Major policy changes Advance in scientific research Effective grant making Improved service delivery Increased customer satisfaction Implementation of laws or regulatory requirements Other

Outcome Comments Prior outcomes have included more informed decisions by state and federal government on policy, research, and regulatory initiatives with substantial public benefit.

What are the cost savings associated with this committee? Checked if Applies None Unable to Determine Under $100,000 $100,000 - $500,000 $500,001 - $1,000,000 $1,000,001 - $5,000,000 $5,000,001 - $10,000,000 Over $10,000,000 Cost Savings Other

Cost Savings Comments The NPC’s 2003 natural gas study showed that a balanced approach to future public policy decision making to increase energy efficiency, develop of new resources, and enable flexibility in fuel choice, could save U.S. consumers $1 trillion in U.S. natural gas costs over the next 20 years. Other NPC studies have addressed topics of similar economic significance. For example, the NPC's 2015 Arctic Potential study identified actions that would enhance future national, economic and energy security, benefit the people of the North and the U.S. as a whole, and position the U.S. to exercise global leadership. Oil and gas development represented one-third of the State of Alaska's economic activity and provided 90% of the State's general funds in 2014. Projected net revenues to the State from Arctic OCS development if pursued could be about $6.6 billion over 50 years, as discussed in the study report. The NPC's 2014 Emergency Preparedness study, and its 2016 Emergency Preparedness Implementation Addendum report, identified actions to continuously improve and ensure a state of readiness to respond to oil and gas supply chain disruptions arising from natural disasters; such actions can mitigate impacts on consumers and regional economies. The NPC's 2012 Future Transportation Fuels study identified technologies that could increase vehicle fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from American transportation. Recommendations in the NPC's 2011 report on Prudent Development of North America's abundant natural gas and oil resources were evaluated from the perspectives of economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and energy security. And, the potential benefits in all three areas was substantial. The NPC's 2007 study on global oil and natural gas provided insights for shaping energy policy that strengthens global energy security, economic prosperity, and environmental stewardship. The NPC’s 2004 study on U.S. petroleum refining and inventories highlighted government actions that could enable petroleum markets to operate more efficiently or avoid significant supply disruptions.

What is the approximate Number of recommendations produced by this committee for the life of the committee? 2,818

Number of Recommendations Comments Based on prior experience, many NPC studies result in approximately 14 major recommendations, and some yield considerably more. In 70 years, the NPC has prepared over 200 reports dealing with virtually every aspect of oil and gas supply and demand. These reports have not only served as valuable tools in the development of energy policy but also have enabled government and industry to anticipate and jointly seek solutions to current and future energy problems. Some NPC study reports have tiered recommendations, e.g., the NPC 2019 Arctic Supplemental Assessment to its 2015 Arctic Potential Report included 4 overarching recommendations and more than 30 detailed recommendations to support implementation. The NPC 2015 report included 32 recommendations in the Executive Summary, made up of 13 research, 3 regulatory, and 16 leadership/policy recommendations, as well as an additional 60 research recommendations in the report chapters.

What is the approximate Percentage of these recommendations that have been or will be Fully implemented by the agency? 30%

% of Recommendations Fully Implemented Comments Estimates of how many NPC recommendations have been implemented may be subjective as NPC recommendations range in scope, specificity and timing. NPC recommendations often encompass broad public policy strategies for addressing the Nation's energy challenges. The implementation timespan for some recommendations such as those to enhance natural gas supply diversity or to sustain and enhance natural gas infrastructure, could span decades. Additionally, NPC recommendations may call for action by industry and/or government (including Congress, states, one or more federal agencies, or some combination). What is the approximate Percentage of these recommendations that have been or will be Partially implemented by the agency? 45%

% of Recommendations Partially Implemented Comments Prior assessments have shown that government has made substantial progress in implementing up to 75% of the recommendations in some NPC studies. However, as discussed above, estimates of how many NPC recommendations have been implemented may be subjective. For example, the NPC’s 2003 natural gas study resulted in four overarching recommendations to: 1) improve demand flexibility and efficiency, 2) increase supply diversity, 3) sustain and enhance natural gas infrastructure, and 4) promote efficiency of natural gas markets, and over 60 supporting recommendations. Recommendations from the NPC's 2004 study on U.S. petroleum refining and inventories were more granular and addressed topics such as new source review reform, national ambient air quality standards, ultra low diesel regulations, national energy legislation, sound science, cost-effectiveness and energy analysis, and permitting, and actions by government on these topics continue to evolve. Numerous recommendations in these 2003 and 2004 NPC studies were reflected in national energy plans and initiatives, as well as provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The NPC's 2007 study report on global oil and gas outlined five core strategies to enable industry and government to more adequately address evolving trends in U.S. and global and demand, and contained over 40 supporting recommendations, which broadly helped to shape public and private sector dialogue, policy and investment on a range of topics including energy efficiency, carbon management, fuel diversity, and the geopolitics of energy for several years. Recommendations from the NPC's 2011 Prudent Development study reflected five core strategies to support prudent natural gas and oil resources development and regulation; better reflect environmental impacts in markets and fuel technology choices; enhance the efficient use of energy; enhance the functioning of energy markets; and, support the development of a skilled workforce. Recommendations in the NPC's 2012 Future Transportation study called on government to promote sustained funding and other resources, either separately or in combination with industry, on the pre-competitive aspects of 12 priority technologies, as well as in areas that could lead to disruptive innovations. The NPC's 2015 Arctic Potential study report included 32 recommendations in the executive summary addressing research, regulatory improvements, and leadership/policy considerations that aligned well with the Administration's all-of-the-above energy strategy and early U.S. Arctic policy, and an additional 60 specific research recommendations. The NPC's 2016 Emergency Preparedness Implementation Addendum summarized progress made in implementing the 2014 NPC report recommendations and opportunities for improvement. The 2019 NPC Dynamic Delivery report made recommendations to increase the efficiency, effectiveness and permitting of permitting process for oil and gas transportation infrastructure and regulatory reform efforts, while promoting more rapid development and implementation of technology to increase transportation safety and integrity. Many of these recommendations are relevant in policy, regulatory and research initiatives being pursued by industry and government. The 2019 Carbon Capture, Use, and Storage (CCUS) report provided a roadmap for deploying CCUS technologies at scale within the U.S., based on technology, policy and regulatory actions across three phases (activation, expansion and at-scale) to achieve widespread CCUS deployment over the next 25 years.

Does the agency provide the committee with feedback regarding actions taken to implement recommendations or advice offered? Yes No Not Applicable

Agency Feedback Comments Feedback is provided to NPC members on the value of the committee’s studies and recommendations through remarks made by the Secretary of Energy and Deputy Secretary of Energy at NPC meetings, by periodic reports on progress made to implement NPC recommendations, by DOE sharing information on the status of government actions related to NPC recommendations, and the frequent use of, or reference to, NPC studies by DOE and other government agencies. For example, in January 2008, the Secretary of Energy distributed copies of the Hard Truths report to all members of Congress and State governors. In May 2008, the Secretary sent a letter to the Council Chair that included a DOE review of actions taken by government consistent with recommendations contained in the NPC's 2007 Hard Truths report; and copies were subsequently provided to all NPC members. From 2011 through 2016, the work of the NPC had clear linkages to goals outlined in various government initiatives including the Administration's Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future, Quadrennial Energy Review, and National Strategy for the Arctic Region. Insights from the NPC's report on Future Transportation Fuels were also cited in Quadrennial Energy Technology reports.

What other actions has the agency taken as a result of the committee's advice or recommendation? Checked if Applies Reorganized Priorities Reallocated resources Issued new regulation Proposed legislation Approved grants or other payments Other

Action Comments Findings and recommendations from NPC studies serve as valuable input for government program and policy decision making. Technical data and insights on evolving oil and gas industry trends also serve as valuable input for energy forecasts prepared by the Energy Information Administration, an independent statistical agency of DOE.
