H.R. 4415 would require the U.S. Department of Energy to move the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management from Washington, D.C. to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by December 31, 2026. This office handles federal policy and programs related to fossil fuel production and carbon capture technology. The bill would affect several hundred federal employees who work in this office and would require them to either relocate to Pittsburgh or leave their positions. Within one year of completing the move, the Secretary of Energy must report to Congress on how many employees left during the relocation, whether the move caused those departures, and how the department plans to address any staffing losses. The legislation does not specify funding amounts for the relocation costs, leaving those details to be determined through the normal budget process.
