November 17 and 18, 2014, at the OECD Conference Centre, 2 rue 
Andr[eacute]-Pascal, 75016 Paris, France. The purpose of this notice is 
to permit participation in ERE7 by U.S. company members of the IAB.

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 meeting is provided:
    The ERE7 sessions will be held from 9:30-5:30 p.m. on November 17, 
and from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on November 18. The purpose of ERE7 is 
to train IEA Government delegates in the use of IEA emergency response 
procedures by reacting to a hypothetical oil supply disruption 
scenario.
    The agenda for ERE7 is under the control of the IEA. ERE7 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:

Day 1

I. Training Session
    1. Welcome to ERE7.
    2. Overview of IEA emergency response policies.
    3. Oil market basics.
    4. IEA emergency response process.
    5. Media perspective.
    6. Introduction of previous ERE scenario.
    7. Analysis of previous ERE scenario.
II. Supply Disruption Scenario 1
    1. Scenario 1 introduction and break-out session.
    2. Scenario 1 plenary session.

Day 2

III. Supply Disruption Scenario 2
    1. Scenario 2 introduction and break-out session.
    2. Scenario 2 plenary session.
IV. Supply Disruption Scenario 3

    2. Scenario 2 plenary session.
    3. Round-up and concluding remarks.
    As provided in section 252(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Energy Policy and 
Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6272(c)(1)(A)(ii)), the meetings of the 
IAB are open to representatives of members of the IAB and their 
counsel; representatives of members of the IEA's Standing Group on 
Emergency Questions (SEQ) and the IEA's Standing Group on the Oil 
Markets (SOM); representatives of the Departments of Energy, 
Justice, and State, the Federal Trade Commission, the Governmental 
Accountability Office, Committees of Congress, the IEA, and the 
European Commission; and invitees of the IAB, the SEQ, the SOM, or
