following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or 

reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of 

the collection; (4) Description of the

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or Recordkeeping 

burden. OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Notice of Public Hearing 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Education, 

National Assessment Governing Board 

ACTION: Notice of public hearing 

SUMMARY: The National Assessment 

Governing Board is announcing a public 

hearing on October 19, 2009 to obtain 

comment on expert panel 

recommendations on uniform national 

rules for testing of Students with 

Disabilities (SD) and English Language 

Learners (ELL) on the National 

Assessment of Educational Progress 

(NAEP). 

Public and private parties and 

organizations are invited to present 

written and/or oral testimony. The 

hearing will be held in the Board 

meeting room on the first floor of the 

headquarters of the Los Angeles Unified 

School District, 333 South Beaudry 

Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90017 from 9:30 

a.m. to 3 p.m. PDT. 

This notice sets forth the schedule 

and proposed agenda of a forthcoming 

public hearing of the National 

Assessment Governing Board. This 

notice also describes the functions of 

the Board. Notice of this meeting is 

required under Section 10(a)(2) of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act. This 

document is intended to notify members 

of the general public of their 

opportunity to provide comment. 

Individuals who will need special 

accommodations in order to attend the 

hearing (such as interpreting services, 

assistive listening devices, materials in 

alternative format) should notify Munira 

Mwalimu at 202–357–6938 or at 

Munira.Mwalimu@ed.gov no later than 

October 14, 2009. We will attempt to 

meet requests after this date, but cannot 

guarantee availability of the requested 

accommodation. The meeting site is 

accessible to individuals with 

disabilities. 

DATES: October 19, 2009. 

Location: Los Angeles, CA. Board 

Meeting Room, Headquarters of Los 

Angeles Unified School District, 333 

South Beaudry Ave., Los Angeles, CA 

90017. 

Time: 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. PDT. 

Background: Under Public Law 107– 

279, the National Assessment Governing 

Board (NAGB) is responsible for 

determining the content and 

methodology of the National 

Assessment of Educational Progress 

(NAEP). The assessment is required to 

provide a fair and accurate 

measurement of student academic 

achievement through a random 

sampling process that produces 

representative data for the nation, the 

states, and other participating 

jurisdictions. 

Despite changes in policy during the 

past decade, variations in inclusion and 

accommodation rates continue for 

students with disabilities and English 

language learners among states and 

urban districts participating in the 

National Assessment. These 

differences—both between jurisdictions 

and over time—continue to prompt 

concern about the fairness and 

comparability of NAEP results. 

The Governing Board has established 

an Ad Hoc Committee of Board 

members to conduct a comprehensive 

examination of NAEP testing and 

reporting of these two student groups. 

The Committee appointed two technical 

advisory panels to recommend uniform 

national rules for NAEP testing of SD 

and ELL students to better assure that 

NAEP samples are fully representative 

and produce comparable results. These 

panels reported to the Board at its 

meeting on August 6 and 7, 2009. The 

Board plans to consult widely before 

deciding whether or not to adopt the 

expert panel recommendations. 

The reports and recommendations 

being considered are available under 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION in this 

notice and on the Web site of the 

Governing Board at http:// 

www.nagb.org. Other related material on 

the Governing Board and NAEP may be 

found at this Web site and at http:// 

www.nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard. 

The Board is seeking comment from 

policymakers, teachers, researchers, 

state and local school administrators, 

specialists in SD and ELL students, 

parents of children in elementary and 

secondary schools, representatives of 

interested organizations, and members 

of the public. Representatives of the 

Governing Board will conduct the 

hearing to receive testimony, and may 

ask clarifying questions or respond to 

presentations. Oral presentations should 

not exceed ten minutes. Testimony will 

become part of the public record. 

All views will be considered by the 

Ad Hoc Committee and the full Board. 

It is anticipated that the Committee will 

make recommendations to the 

Governing Board at the Governing Board 

meetings in November 2009 and March 

2010. 

To register to present oral testimony 

on October 19, 2009 at the Los Angeles 

school district headquarters, please call
