Closed Meeting of the National 

Advisory Council on Indian Education 

AGENCY: National Advisory Council on 

Indian Education (NACIE), U.S. 

Department of Education. 

ACTION: Notice of closed meeting. 

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the 

schedule and proposed agenda of an 

upcoming closed meeting of the 

National Advisory Council on Indian 

Education (the Council) and is intended 

to notify the general public. This notice 

also describes the functions of the 

Council. Notice of the Council’s 

meetings is required under Section 

10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act and by the Council’s 

charter. This notice is appearing in the 

Federal Register less than 15 days prior 

to the meeting date due to scheduling 

conflicts and the importance of selecting 

a new Director for the Office of Indian 

Education in a timely manner. 

Agenda: The Council will meet in a 

closed teleconference session to discuss 

personnel issues related to the selection 

of the Director for the U.S. Department 

of Education, Office of Indian 

Education. The Council will be 

discussing issues that relate solely to the 

internal personnel rules and practices of 

an agency. The Council is likely to 

disclose information of a personal 

nature where disclosure would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personnel privacy. The 

discussion must therefore be held in 

closed session under exemptions 2 and 

6 of the Government in the Sunshine 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6).
