DATES: The modified dates for these meetings are as follows:
     May 1st, 2020 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Eastern 
Daylight Time.
     Any subsequent ESGC events will be announced at a later

DC 20585-0121. Telephone: (202) 586-1207. For email please use 
[email protected] and in the subject line include ``Further 
Information''. In the body of the email please include your name,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice of this meeting was first 
published in the Federal Register of February 19, 2020 in FR 2020-03231 
on pages 9464-9465. This Amendment is to inform the public that the 
meeting will be held electronically only.
    Good Cause for Late Notice: This Amendment to Notice of public 
meeting is being published less than 15 days before the first meeting 
date of May 1, 2020. There is good cause for this late notice. 
Specifically, travel restrictions affecting members of the RTIC Energy 
Storage Subcommittee related to the ongoing increase in COVID-19 cases 
have led the RTIC to conclude that, out of an abundance of caution, an 
electronic meeting is appropriate.
    The meeting is being moved to a wholly electronic format in light 
of travel restrictions affecting members of the RTIC Energy Storage 
Subcommittee and related to the ongoing increase in coronavirus (COVID-
19) cases.
