                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                 Background. The President, through Executive Order 13872 (May 13,
                2019), re-established the President's Advisory Commission on Asian
                Americans and
                [[Page 30685]]
                Pacific Islanders to advise the President, through the Secretary of
                Commerce and the Secretary of Transportation. The AAPI Advisory
                Commission provides advice to the President on executive branch efforts
                to broaden access of AAPI communities, families and businesses to
                economic resources and opportunities that empower AAPIs to improve the
                quality of their lives, raise the standard of living of their
                communities and families, and more fully participate in the U.S.
                economy.
                 Public Participation. In accordance with Section 10(a)(2) of the
                Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.), this notice
                is the public announcement of the Commission's intent to hold a
                teleconference on May 20, 2020. This meeting is open to the public and
                interested persons may listen to the teleconference by using the call-
                in number and pass code set forth above (see ADDRESSES). Prospective
                agenda items for the meeting include a deliberation of the draft
                Commission report to the President, discussion regarding ratification
                of the report, administrative tasks and such other Commission business
                as may arise during the meeting. The Commission welcomes interested
                persons to submit written comments at any time before or after the
                meeting to the Office of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans
                and Pacific Islanders (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). To
                facilitate distribution of written comments to Commission members prior
                to the meeting, the Commission suggests that comments be submitted by
                facsimile or by email no later than May 19, 2020. The Commission will
                reserve a portion of the meeting to receive pertinent oral comments
                from members of the public.
                 Copies of the Commission open meeting minutes will be made
                available to the public.
                 This announcement might appear in the Federal Register less than 15
                days prior to the meeting. The Minority Business Development Agency
                finds that there is an exceptional circumstance in that this advisory
                committee meeting must be held on May 20, 2020 due scheduling issues
                related to the public health crisis.
                Josephine Arnold,
                Chief Counsel, Minority Business Development Agency.
