51. The representative of the United States of America, on behalf of the Chair of GRSP, informed WP.29 about the results of the work of the group at its sixty-sixth session (for details see the session report: ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/66).

52. The World Forum noted that Mr. M Koubek (United States of America) chaired the session due to the separation of the previous Chair, Mr. Nha Nguyen, from federal service at the U.S. Department of Transportation, in accordance with Rule 14 of the Rules of Procedure of the UNECE (E/ECE/778/Rev.5).

53. The World Forum noted that Mr. M Koubek (United States of America) had been elected as GRSP Chair and that Mr. H.G. Kim (Republic of Korea) had been elected as Vice-Chair for the sessions of GRSP scheduled in the year 2020.

26. The World Forum recalled the report of the Chair of GRSP on its sixty-seventh session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/66 and Add.1) and approved the report.

35. GRSP considered a proposal (GRSP-67-19-Rev.1) tabled by the experts from Japan to amend the definition of REESS (see paragraphs 16, 18 19 and 25). GRSP adopted the proposal, as reproduced by Annex X to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as draft Supplement 1 to the original version of the new UN Regulation (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2020/76) on the approval of vehicles with regard to fuel system integrity and safety of electric power train in the event of a rear-end collision, for consideration and vote at the November 2020 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1. However, the Chair of GRSP was requested to seek guidance from WP.29 to recommend the above Supplement as binding from the date of its adoption by AC.1, in advance of its entry into force, in order to have a consistent application of the UN Regulation by all contracting parties to the Agreement.
