Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 12, 2013 / Notices 9901 

(NAEP) results for 2013–2017, and their 

implications on future NAEP activities. 

The discussion of independent 

government cost estimates for the NAEP 

2013–2017 contracts is necessary for 

ensuring that NAEP contracts meet 

congressionally mandated goals and 

adhere to Board policies on NAEP 

assessments available at www.nagb.org/ 

policies.html. This part of the meeting 

must be conducted in closed session 

because public disclosure of this 

information would likely have an 

adverse financial effect on the NAEP 

program by providing contractors 

attending an unfair advantage in 

procurement and contract negotiations 

for NAEP. Discussion of this 

information would be likely to 

significantly impede 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. 

On March 1, 2013, the full Board will 

meet in open session from 8:30 a.m. to 

9:45 a.m., followed by a closed session 

from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., and an 

open session from 1:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. 

From 8:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. on March 

1, 2013 the Board will review and 

approve the February 28–March 2, 2013 

Board meeting agenda and meeting 

minutes from the December 2012 

Quarterly Board meeting. Thereafter, the 

Superintendent from Fairfax County 

Public Schools will provide welcome 

remarks. This session will be followed 

by a report from the Executive Director 

of the Governing Board, and updates 

from the Commissioner of the National 

Center for Education Statistics (NCES) 

and the Director of the Institute of 

Education Sciences (IES). Following 

these sessions, the Board will recess for 

Committee meetings. 

On March 1, 2013, the Reporting and 

Dissemination Committee, the 

Assessment Development Committee 

and the Committee on Standards, 

Design and Methodology will meet in 

open sessions from 10:00 a.m. to 12:15 

p.m. Following the Committee meetings, 

from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. the full 

Board will meet in closed session to 

receive a briefing on the NAEP 2012 

Economics Report. The Board will 

receive an embargoed briefing on 

preliminary results which will include 

secure test items, embargoed assessment 

data, and results that cannot be 

discussed in an open meeting prior to 

their official release. Premature 

disclosure of these results would 

significantly impede implementation of 

the NAEP assessment program, and is 

therefore protected by exemption 9(B) of 

section 552b(c) of Title 5 United States 

Code. 

After the closed session briefing, the 

Board will meet in open session from 

1:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. to receive a panel 

briefing on the NCES workshop on the 

Future of NAEP. From 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 

p.m. the Board will discuss two policy 

issues under consideration by the 

Executive Committee: the NAEP 

Schedule of Assessments and reviewing 

and updating the Governing Board’s 

Policy on NAEP Redesign. From 4:00 

p.m. to 4:30 p.m., the Board will receive 

a demonstration of the new web-based 

format of the NAEP Mega-States Report. 

The March 1, 2013 Board meeting is 

scheduled to adjourn at 4:30 p.m. 

On March 2, 2013, the Nominations 

Committee will meet in closed session 

from 7:30 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. to discuss 

potential candidates for Board terms 

beginning October 1, 2013. The 

Nomination Committee’s 

recommendations will be presented for 

full Board action from 8:30 a.m. to 8:50 

a.m. The Committee’s discussions and 

Board review and action pertain solely 

to internal personnel rules and practices 

of an agency and information of a 

personal nature where disclosure would 

constitute an unwarranted invasion of 

personal privacy. As such, the 

discussions are protected by exemptions 

2 and 6 of section 552b(c) of Title 5 of 

the United States Code. 

On March 2, 2013, from 8:50 a.m. to 

9:15 a.m. the full Board will receive an 

update in closed session on the NAEP/ 

TIMSS Linking Report. During this 

closed session, Board members will be 

provided with data which are not yet 

available for release to the general 

public. Premature disclosure of the 

secure data would compromise the 

integrity and substantially impede 

implementation of the NAEP/TIMSS 

Linking Study and is therefore protected 

by exemption 9(B) of section 552b(c) of 

Title 5 of the United States Code. 

Following this closed session, from 

9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., the full Board 

will meet in open session to receive a 

briefing on the Inside NAEP series on 

how NAEP scores are calculated. From 

10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. the Board will 

receive Committee reports and take 

action on Committee recommendations. 

The March 2, 2013 meeting is scheduled 

to adjourn at 12:00 p.m. 

A verbatim transcript of the meeting, 

including summaries of the activities of 

the closed sessions and related matters 

that are informative to the public and 

consistent with the policy of section 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c) will be available to the 

public within 14 days of the meeting. 

Records are kept of all Board 

proceedings and are available for public 

inspection at the U.S. Department of 

Education, National Assessment 

Governing Board, Suite #825, 800 North 

Capitol Street NW., Washington, DC, 

from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday.

The HRP is a security and safety 

reliability program for individuals who 

apply for or occupy certain positions 

that are critical to the national security. 

It requires an initial and annual 

supervisory review, medical assessment, 

management evaluation, and a DOE 

personnel security review of all 

applicants or incumbents. It is also used 

to ensure that employees assigned to 

nuclear explosive duties do not have 

emotional, mental, or physical 

conditions that could result in an 

accidental or unauthorized detonation 

of nuclear explosives.
