[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 220 (Wednesday, November 13, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 58172] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-28984] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION National Assessment Governing Board; Meeting AGENCY: National Assessment Governing Board. ACTION: Amendment to notice of partially closed meeting of the National Assessment Governing Board. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This amends the notice of a partially closed meeting published on October 23, 1996, Vol. 61, No. 206, pages 54990-54991. The Design and Methodology Committee will meet in partially closed session on November 14, 1996. The meeting will be closed from 4:30--5:00 p.m. to permit the Committee to review the draft grants announcement for an upcoming procurement that is being sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics. The Committee will review the contents of the grants announcement for the purpose of giving approval to the specifications contained in the document. Public disclosure of this information would likely have an adverse financial effect on the NAEP program. The discussion of this information would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action if conducted in open session. Such matters are protected by exemption 9(B) of Section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. The public is given less than fifteen days notice of the closed portion of this meeting because the document to be considered was not available for review before now. Dated: November 7, 1996. Roy Truby, Executive Director, National Assessment Governing Board. [FR Doc. 96-28984 Filed 11-12-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000-01-M
