The Department of Energy, in partnership with its customers, is entrusted to contribute to the welfare of the Nation by providing the technical information and the scientific and educational foundation for the technology, policy, and institutional leadership necessary to achieve efficiency in energy use, diversity in energy sources, a more productive and competitive economy, improved environmental quality, and a secure national defense.

The Department of Energy (DOE) was established by the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7131), effective October 1, 1977, pursuant to Executive Order 12009 of September 13, 1977. The act consolidated the major Federal energy functions into one Cabinet-level Department.

Offices managing programs which require large budget outlays or provide technical direction and support are structured to reflect the principal programmatic missions of the Department: energy programs, national security programs, environmental management programs, and science and technology programs. The energy programs area includes the Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy, the Office of Nuclear Energy, Science, and Technology, the Power Marketing Administrations, and the Energy Information Administration. The national security programs area includes the Assistant Secretary for Defense Programs, the Office of Nonproliferation and National Security, the Office of Intelligence, the Office of Counterintelligence, and the Office of Fissile Materials Disposition. The environmental management programs area includes the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety, and Health, the Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management, and the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management. The science and technology programs area includes the Office of Energy Research and the Laboratory Operations Board and the Research and Development Council, which have been established under the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board to provide advice regarding the strategic direction for the Department's laboratories, and to coordinate and integrate research and development across the Department, respectively.

The Department's organization also includes the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is an independent regulatory organization within the Department.

The Secretary is the principal adviser to the President on energy policies, plans, and programs.

Deputy Secretary The Deputy Secretary acts for the Secretary in the Secretary's absence and assists the Secretary in deciding major energy policy and planning issues and in representing the Department before Congress and the public.

The Deputy Secretary has primary oversight responsibility for the Department's environmental management and crosscutting programs and shares responsibility with the Under Secretary for energy and national security programs.
