H.R. 4415: Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Relocation Act of 2025

This bill, known as the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Relocation Act of 2025, mandates the relocation of the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management from its current location in Washington, D.C. to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Secretary of Energy is required to complete this move by December 31, 2026. The legislation also includes provisions for a report that must be submitted to Congress within one year after the relocation is completed. This report must cover several key aspects regarding the relocation:

• Employee Attrition: The report should detail any loss of employees from the Office during and after the relocation process.
• Attribution of Attrition: It should assess the extent to which the attrition of employees is linked to the relocation.
• Addressing Attrition: The Secretary of Energy is required to outline how they plan to address the employee attrition resulting from the move.
• Negotiation Conditions: The report must also examine how the relocation has impacted the ability of the Office's employees to negotiate conditions of employment through their representatives.

The bill does not outline specific reasons for the relocation or any additional changes to the existing responsibilities or operations of the Office, focusing primarily on the logistical aspects and the anticipated effects on the workforce.
