been shortened because unanticipated circumstances pertaining to the
IEA's scheduling of these meetings delayed the issuance of this notice.
As provided in section 252(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6272(c)(1)(A)(ii)), these meetings are open
only to representatives of members of the IAB and their counsel,
