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

quality of their lives, raise the standard of living of their

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
