SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice of this meeting was first 
published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2020. This amendment is 
to inform the public that the meeting will be held electronically only.
    The meeting will be held on March 25, 2020, at 9:30 a.m. EDT and 
may be viewed live, by the public, at http://www.fcc.gov/live. Any 
questions that arise during the meeting should be sent to 
[email protected] and will be answered at a later date. Members of 
the public may submit comments to the Task Force in the FCC's 
Electronic Comment Filing System, ECFS, at www.fcc.gov/ecfs. Comments 
to the Task Force should be filed in GN Docket No. 19-329. The meeting 
is being moved to a wholly electronic format in light of travel 
restrictions affecting members of the Task Force related to the ongoing 
increase in coronavirus (COVID-19) cases.
    Open captioning will be provided for this event. Other reasonable 
accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. 
Requests for such accommodations should be submitted via email to 
[email protected] or by calling the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau 
at (202) 418-0530 (voice), (202) 418-0432 (tty). Such requests should 
include a detailed description of the accommodation needed. In 
addition, please include a way the FCC can contact you if it needs more 
information. Please allow at least five days' advance notice; last-
minute requests will be accepted but may be impossible to fill.
    Proposed Agenda: At this meeting, the Task Force will provide 
updates on Task Force administration; review and discuss programs and 
policies relevant to the Task Force's duties; and discuss recent 
agricultural industry-wide events related to broadband deployment and 
precision agriculture technologies. This agenda may be modified at the 
discretion of the Task Force Chair and the Designated Federal Officer.
    Good Cause for Late Notice: This Amendment to Notice of public 
meeting is being published less than 15 days before the meeting date of 
March 25, 2020. There is good cause for this late notice. Specifically, 
travel restrictions affecting members of the Task Force related to the 
ongoing increase in COVID-19 cases, have led the Commission to conclude 
that, in an abundance of caution, an electronic meeting is appropriate. 
The Commission has also announced this amendment to the public meeting 
by Public Notice posted on https://www.fcc.gov/task-force-reviewing-
