or activities receiving Federal financial 

assistance from the Department of 

Education (34 CFR 100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 

108.8, and 110.23). 

3. Special Conditions: Under 34 CFR 

74.14 and 80.12, the Secretary may 

impose special conditions on a grant if 

the applicant or grantee is not 

financially stable; has a history of 

unsatisfactory performance; has a 

financial or other management system 

that does not meet the standards in 34 

CFR parts 74 or 80, as applicable; has 

not fulfilled the conditions of a prior 

grant; or is otherwise not responsible. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

1. Award Notices: If your application 

is successful, we notify your U.S. 

Representative and U.S. Senators and 

send you a Grant Award Notification 

(GAN). We may notify you informally, 

also. 

If your application is not evaluated or 

not selected for funding, we will notify 

you. 

2. Administrative and National Policy 

Requirements: We identify 

administrative and national policy 

requirements in the application package 

and reference these and other 

requirements in the Applicable 

Regulations section of this notice. 

We reference the regulations outlining 

the terms and conditions of an award in 

the Applicable Regulations section of 

this notice and include these and other 

specific conditions in the GAN. The 

GAN also incorporates your approved 

application as part of your binding 

commitments under the grant. 

3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a 

grant under this competition, you must 

ensure that you have in place the 

necessary processes and systems to 

comply with the reporting requirements 

in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive 

funding under the competition. This 

does not apply if you have an exception 

under 2 CFR 170.110(b). 

(b) At the end of your project period, 

you must submit a final performance 

report, including financial information, 

as directed by the Secretary. If you 

receive a multi-year award, you must 

submit an annual performance report 

that provides the most current 

performance and financial expenditure 

information as directed by the Secretary 

under 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary 

may also require more frequent 

performance reports under 34 CFR 

75.720(c). For specific requirements on 

reporting, please go to http:// 

www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/ 

appforms/appforms.html. 

4. Performance Measures: The success 

of the TS Program will be measured by 

secondary school persistence and 

graduation rates of TS Program 

participants, as well as postsecondary 

enrollment and completion rates. All TS 

Program grantees will be required to 

submit an annual performance report 

documenting secondary school 

persistence, secondary school 

graduation, and postsecondary 

enrollment of their participants. 

Because students may take different 

lengths of time to complete their 

postsecondary education, multiple years 

of performance report data are needed to 

determine the postsecondary 

completion rates of TS Program 

participants. The Department will 

aggregate the data provided in the 

annual performance reports from all 

grantees to determine the performance 

level of the overall TS Program. 

5. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award, the Secretary may 

consider, under 34 CFR 75.253, the 

extent to which a grantee has made 

‘‘substantial progress toward meeting the 

objectives in its approved application.’’ 

This consideration includes the review 

of a grantee’s progress in meeting the 

targets and projected outcomes in its 

approved application, and whether the 

grantee has expended funds in a manner 

that is consistent with its approved 

application and budget. In making a 

continuation grant, the Secretary also 

considers whether the grantee is 

operating in compliance with the 

assurances in its approved application, 

including those applicable to Federal 

civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 

104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

825, Washington, DC 20002–4233, 

Telephone: (202) 357–6938. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Assessment Governing Board 

is established under section 412 of the 

National Education Statistics Act of 

1994, as amended. 

The Board is established to formulate 

policy guidelines for the National 

Assessment of Educational Progress 

(NAEP). The Board’s responsibilities 

include the following: Selecting subject 

areas to be assessed, developing 

assessment frameworks and 

specifications, developing appropriate 

student achievement levels for each 

grade and subject tested, developing 

standards and procedures for interstate 

and national comparisons, developing 

guidelines for reporting and 

disseminating results, and releasing 

initial NAEP results to the public. 

On November 18, from 1:00 p.m. to 

4:15 p.m., the Assessment Development 

Committee will meet in closed session 

to review secure task outlines for test 

items for the new NAEP Technology 

and Engineering Literacy (TEL) 

Assessment. These task outlines are for 

the computer-based 8th grade 2013 pilot 

test in preparation for the 2014 

operational assessment. The Board will 

be provided with secure test materials 

for review that cannot be discussed in 

an open meeting. Premature disclosure 

of these secure materials would 

significantly impede implementation of 

the NAEP assessments, and is therefore 

protected by exemption 9(B) of section 

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

On November 18, from 4:30 p.m. to 

5:15 p.m., the Executive Committee will 

meet in open session and thereafter in 

closed session from 5:15 p.m. to 6:00 

p.m. During the closed session on 

November 18, the Executive Committee 

will receive a briefing from the National 

Center for Education Statistics (NCES) 

on options for NAEP contracts covering 

assessment years beyond 2011 and 

discuss budget implications for the 

NAEP assessment schedule and for 

international linking studies. The 

discussion of contract options and costs 

will address the Congressionally 

mandated goals and Board policies on 

NAEP assessments. This part of the 

meeting must be conducted in closed 

session because public discussion of 

this information would disclose 

independent government cost estimates 

and contracting options, adversely 

impacting the confidentiality of the 

contracting process. Public disclosure of 

information discussed would 

significantly impede implementation of 

the NAEP contracts, and is therefore 

protected by exemption 9(B) of section 

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

On November 19, the full Board will 

meet in open session from 8:15 a.m. to 

9:45 a.m. The Board will review and 

approve the meeting agenda and 

meeting minutes from the August 2010 

Board meeting, followed by the 

Chairman’s remarks. Secretary Arne 

Duncan is scheduled to administer the 

oath of office for new Board members at 

8:30 a.m. followed by remarks from new 

Board members. The Executive Director 

of the Governing Board will then 

provide a report to the Board followed 

by an update from the Acting 

Commissioner of the National Center for 

Education Statistics. The Board will 

recess for Committee meetings on 

November 19 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 

p.m. 

The Reporting and Dissemination 

Committee and the Committee on 

Standards, Design and methodology will 

meet in open session on November 19 

from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The 

Assessment Development Committee 

will meet in open session from 10:00 

a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and thereafter in 

closed session from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 

p.m. During the closed session, the 

Assessment Development Committee 

will receive an embargoed briefing on 

preliminary results from the writing 

computer-based 2010 pilot test at grades 

8 and 12 in preparation for the 2011 

operational assessment. This secure data 

cannot be discussed in an open meeting 

prior to official release. Premature 

disclosure of data would significantly 

impede implementation of the NAEP 

assessment, and is therefore protected 

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

Title 5 U.S.C. 

On November 19, from 12:45 p.m. to 

1:45 p.m. the full Board will meet in 

closed session to receive a briefing on 

the 2009 National Assessment of 

Educational Progress (NAEP) Science 

Report Card. The Board will be 

provided with embargoed results that 

cannot be discussed in an open meeting 

prior to their official release. Premature 

disclosure of data would significantly 

impede implementation of the NAEP 

assessment, and is therefore protected 

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

Title 5 U.S.C. 

From 1:45 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. the Board 

will meet in open session to receive a 

report from the Governing Board/ 

Council of Chief State School Officers 

Policy Task Force. Following this 

session, from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., the 

Board will receive presentations by the 

two State assessment consortia working 

on the Common Core State Standards 

and Assessments. From 3:45 p.m. to 

4:15 p.m., the Board will receive an 

update on 12th Grade Preparedness 

Research. At 4:15 p.m., Board members 

will receive their annual ethics briefing 

from the Office of General Counsel. The 

November 19, 2010 Board meeting is 

scheduled to conclude at 4:45 p.m. 

On November 20, the Nominations 

Committee will meet in closed session 

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

and discuss specific names for Board 

vacancies, and their qualifications for 

Board membership for Board terms 

beginning October 1, 2011. These 

discussions pertain solely to internal 

personnel rules and practices of an 

agency and will disclose 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 U.S.C. 

The full Board will meet in closed 

session on November 20 from 8:30 a.m. 

to 9:45 a.m. to receive a briefing on the 

2011 NAEP Computer-Based Writing 

Assessment, which will contain secure 

test information. Premature disclosure 

of the assessment items and the pilot 

test results would significantly impede 

implementation of the NAEP 

assessment, and is therefore protected 

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

Title 5 U.S.C. 

Thereafter, the Board will meet in 

open session to discuss the Future of the 

Governing Board and NAEP. At 11:00 

a.m. the Board will receive Committee 

reports and take action on Committee 

recommendations. The November 20,
