FEMP is currently seeking federal nominees who exemplify traits described in the following categories: 1) Professional Achievement, persons who consistently show exceptional professionalism and integrity while leading agency mission critical projects and programs. 2) Future Leader, person new to the federal energy management role who embodies and exhibits the characteristics and skills needed to propel key projects and programs forward. 3) Innovator, person who is committed to finding new and creative ways of carrying out dynamic projects and programs and inspires change. In 2017, the?Federal Energy Management Program?(FEMP) introduced the FEDS Spotlight, a recognition program for federal agencies. FEDS Spotlight provides an opportunity for agencies to honor federal employees going above and beyond typical day-to-day responsibilities to achieve mission success while also cutting energy waste, reducing costs, optimizing performance, and advancing America's progress toward energy independence and security.?

An information resource from the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) highlights various heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technologies with demonstrated energy and water savings that have the potential to be more broadly utilized across federal agencies.

NMFS completed a comprehensive status review of the Oregon Coast (OC) and Southern Oregon and Northern California Coastal (SONCC) Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs) in response to a petition to list these species as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and to designate critical habitat concurrently with the listings. Based on the best scientific and commercial information available, including the status review report, and taking into account efforts being made to protect the species, we have determined that the OC and SONCC Chinook salmon ESUs do not warrant listing. This finding was made available on 9 December 2025. POC is Robert Markle, NMFS West Coast Region, at robert.markle@noaa.gov, (971) 710-8155.
