Background

    The Administrator of GSA established the Committee on June 20, 2011 
(Federal Register/Vol. 76, No. 118) pursuant to Section 494 of the 
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA, 42 U.S.C. 17123). 
Under this authority, the Committee provides independent policy advice 
and recommendations to GSA to advance federal building innovations in 
planning, design, and operations to reduce costs, enable agency 
missions, enhance human health and performance, and minimize 
environmental impacts.

Federal Buy Clean Implications Task Group

    The Federal Buy Clean Implications Task Group will continue the 
Committee's work on the topic of Building Decarbonization by assessing 
the impact of the Federal Buy Clean Initiative within the broader scope 
of the Inflation Reduction Act, focusing on its influence on 
procurement practices and material selection in Federal Buildings.
    The purpose of these web-based meetings is for the Task Group to 
develop consensus recommendations for submission to the full Committee. 
The Committee will, in turn, deliberate on the Task Group 
recommendations and decide whether to proceed with formal advice to GSA 
based upon them.

Brian Gilligan,
Acting Federal Director, Office of Federal High-Performance Green 
Buildings, General Services Administration.
