SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice of this meeting was first
published in the Federal Register on March 5, 2020. This amendment is
to inform the public that the meeting will be held electronically only.
The meeting will be held on March 25, 2020, at 9:30 a.m. EDT and
may be viewed live, by the public, at http://www.fcc.gov/live. Any
questions that arise during the meeting should be sent to
PrecisionAgTF@fcc.gov and will be answered at a later date. Members of
the public may submit comments to the Task Force in the FCC's
Electronic Comment Filing System, ECFS, at www.fcc.gov/ecfs. Comments
to the Task Force should be filed in GN Docket No. 19-329. The meeting
is being moved to a wholly electronic format in light of travel
restrictions affecting members of the Task Force related to the ongoing
increase in coronavirus (COVID-19) cases.
Open captioning will be provided for this event. Other reasonable
accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request.
Requests for such accommodations should be submitted via email to
fcc504@fcc.gov or by calling the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau
at (202) 418-0530 (voice), (202) 418-0432 (tty). Such requests should
include a detailed description of the accommodation needed. In
addition, please include a way the FCC can contact you if it needs more
information. Please allow at least five days' advance notice; last-
minute requests will be accepted but may be impossible to fill.
Proposed Agenda: At this meeting, the Task Force will provide
updates on Task Force administration; review and discuss programs and
policies relevant to the Task Force's duties; and discuss recent
agricultural industry-wide events related to broadband deployment and
precision agriculture technologies. This agenda may be modified at the
discretion of the Task Force Chair and the Designated Federal Officer.
Good Cause for Late Notice: This Amendment to Notice of public
meeting is being published less than 15 days before the meeting date of
March 25, 2020. There is good cause for this late notice. Specifically,
travel restrictions affecting members of the Task Force related to the
ongoing increase in COVID-19 cases, have led the Commission to conclude
that, in an abundance of caution, an electronic meeting is appropriate.
The Commission has also announced this amendment to the public meeting
