SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

National Assessment Governing Board

is established under section 412 of the

National Education Statistics Act of

1994 (Title IV of the Improving

America’s Schools Act of 1994) (Pub. L.

103–382).

The Board is established to formulate

policy guidelines for the National

Assessment of Educational Progress.

The Board is responsible for selecting

subject areas to be assessed, developing

assessment objectives, identifying

appropriate achievement goals for each

grade and subject tested, and

establishing standards and procedures

for interstate and national comparisons.

Under Public Law 105–78, the National

Assessment Governing Board is also

granted exclusive authority over

developing the Voluntary National Tests
39560 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 141 /Thursday, July 23, 1998 / Notices

pursuant to contract number

RJ97153001.

On Thursday, August 6, there will be

a meeting of three committees of the

Governing Board. The Design and

Methodology Committee will meet in

open session from 1:00–4:00 p.m. to

take action on the Validity Research

Agenda, the policies on Voluntary

National Tests Pilot Testing, and VNT

Accommodations. The Committee will

hear briefings on design issues

pertaining to the VNT and NAEP.

The Subject Area Committee #2 will

meet in open session from 3:00–5:00

p.m. The Committee will receive an

update on the NAEP 2000 assessments,

the math content, and VNT item

development issues and timelines. The

Committee will take action on the AIR

Work Plan for Calculator Access and

The Executive Committee will meet

on August 6 from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. in

open session. In the open session from

5:00–6:00 p.m., the Executive

status of the grant program for

secondary analysis of the NAEP data,

and NAEP redesign issues.

The Executive Committee will hold a

partially closed meeting on August 6,

from 6:00–7:00 p.m., to discuss the

development of cost estimates for

current and future contract initiatives

for NAEP.

Also during, the same closed session,

the Executive Committee will discuss

processed modifications in the

Voluntary National Tests contract to

make decisions regarding exercising the

second option year of the contract.

These matters concerning the NAEP and

Voluntary National Tests contracts must

be discussed in closed session because

public disclosure of this information

would likely have an adverse financial

effect on these programs. The discussion

of this information would be likely to

significantly frustrate implementation of

proposed agency actions if conducted in

open session. Such matters are

protected by exemption 9(B) of Section

552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.

On August 7, the full Board will

convene in open session beginning at

following committees: Achievement

Levels, Reporting and Dissemination,

and Subject Area Committee #1. The

Achievement Levels Committee will

Trials in the civics and writing

assessments. The Committee will take

Assessment, namely rank-ordering of

state-by-state data and primacy of

achievement-level results. The

Committee will hear briefings on the

plans for public hearings on VNT issues,

and work-plan activities regarding the

data.

Subject Area Committee #1 will

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP98–661–000]

Koch Gateway Pipeline Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

July 17, 1998.

Take notice that on July 10, 1998,

Koch Gateway Pipeline Company (Koch

Gateway), Post Office Box 1478,

Houston, Texas 77251–1478, filed a

request with the Commission in Docket

No. CP98–661–000, pursuant to

Sections 157.205, and 157.211 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization

to operate as a jurisdictional facility in

interstate commerce a meter station

previously installed, operated and

placed in service under Section 311(a)

of the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA)

and Section 284.3(c) of the

Commission’s regulations authorized in

blanket certificate issued in Docket No.

CP82–430–000, all as more fully set

forth in the request on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Koch Gateway proposes to operate as

a jurisdictional facility a two-inch meter

station constructed under 311(a) of the

NGPA, to facilitate delivery of natural

gas on behalf of Willmut Gas and Oil

Company (Willmut), a local distribution

company in Covington County,

Mississippi to Blaine Asphalt, Inc.

(Blaine), a end user. Koch states that

presently the meter station is limited

solely for gas transportation under

section 311 of the NGPA. Operation of

the facilities for other than NGPA

purposes would provide increased

access to shippers utilizing Natural Gas

Act service and provide Willmut the

ability to obtain additional flexibility in

acquiring gas supplies. Koch states that

once this delivery point is certificated as

a jurisdictional facility, Willmut will be

able to receive gas shipped to this point

pursuant to jurisdictional open-access

transportation agreements as well as

Section 311 agreements. Koch reports

that Willmut estimates its peak day and

average day requirements for this

delivery point be 1,630 MMBtu and 104
