) 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.
The *Energy Storage Task Group* will explore the use of energy storage at federal facilities, and how it may be employed to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, including in conjunction with renewable energy and grid integration strategies. The *Sustainable Response to COVID-19 Task Group* will analyze potential impacts on federal facility sustainability, including occupant health and wellness, related to the potential implementation of COVID-19 mitigation measures and operational practices.
The Web-based meetings will allow the task groups to develop consensus recommendations to the full Committee, which will, in turn, decide whether to proceed with formal advice to GSA based upon these recommendations. Kevin Kampschroer, Federal Director, Office of Federal High-Performance Buildings, General Services Administration. [FR Doc. 2020-21328 Filed 9-25-20; 8:45 am]
