    Background: The Administrator of the General Services 
Administration 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 advises GSA on the rapid transformation 
of the Federal building portfolio to sustainable technologies and 
practices. The Committee reviews strategic plans, products, and 
activities of the Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings, 
and provides advice regarding how the Office can accomplish its mission 
most effectively.
    The Green Leasing task group will pursue the Committee's motion to 
``provide recommendations to improve federal government leasing 
language and requirements regarding . . . sustainability goals.''
    The conference calls will allow the task group to coordinate the 
development of consensus recommendations to the full Committee, which 
will in turn decide whether to proceed with formal advice to GSA based 
upon these recommendations. The task group will provide recommendations 
in support of GSA's development of model commercial leasing provisions, 
a requirement of the Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2015 (42 
U.S.C. 17062).
