OECD Conference Centre, 2 Rue Andr[eacute]-Pascal, 75016 Paris, France,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with section 252(c)(1)(A)(i) 
of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6272(c)(1)(A)(i)) 
(EPCA), the following notice of meetings is provided:
    The ERE8 sessions will be held from 9:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on June 29, 
2016 and from 9:30 a.m.-4:45 p.m. on June 30, 2016. The purpose of ERE8

    The agenda for ERE8 is under the control of the IEA. ERE8 will 
involve break-out groups, the constitution of which is under the 
control of the IEA. The IEA anticipates that individual break-out 
groups will not include multiple IAB or Reporting Company 
representatives that would qualify them as separate ``meetings'' within 
the meaning of the Voluntary Agreement and Plan of Action to Implement 
the International Energy Program. It is expected that the IEA will 
adopt the following agenda:
