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 P.L. 105–78, the National

Assessment Governing Board is also

granted exclusive authority over

developing the Voluntary National Tests

pursuant to contract number

RJ97153001.

The Executive Committee will meet

on March 1 in open session from 5 p.m.

to 6:15 p.m., and in closed session from

6:15 p.m. to 7 p.m.

In the open session, the Executive

Committee will receive updates on the

status of the VNT contract and on the

NAEP Reauthorization. The Committee

will then receive briefings on the

implications of President Bush’s

education proposal for the NAEP

schedule; on the appointment of the

Trial Urban Advisory Panel; and on

NAEP participation issues.

From 6:15–7 p.m. the Committee will

meet in closed session to make a

contractual decision pertaining to the

VNT; to discuss future cost estimates on

contracts for the National Assessment of

Education Progress (NAEP) project; and

to receive independent government cost

estimates on contract initiatives for

NAEP.

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. The discussion of this

information would be likely to

significantly frustrate implementation of

a proposed agency action if conducted

in open session. Such matters are

protected by exemption 9(B) of 522b(c)

of Title 5 U.S.C.

On March 2, the full Board will

convene in open session from 8:30 a.m.–

12:15 p.m. the Board will approve the

agenda; hear a report from the Executive

Director of the National Assessment

Governing Board; and receive an update

on NAEP activities. Beginning at 10:15

a.m., the Board’s Standing committees

will meet in open session.

The Assessment Development

Committee will meet from 10:15 a.m.–

12:15 p.m. to discuss NAEP

participation issues, a proposal for a

ten-year follow-up of NAEP’s oral

reading study, the 2004 NAEP math

framework project, and other NAEP

assessment development issues.

The Committee on Standards, Design,

and Methodology will meet from 10:15

a.m.–11:15 p.m. to hear a report from

the Ad Hoc Committee on enhancing

NAEP participation; to discuss the

Tribal Urban Assessment; and to receive

an update on Achievement Levels.

The Reporting and Dissemination

Committee will meet from 10:15 a.m.–

11:15 p.m. to receive and take action on

the release plan for NAEP 2000 Fourth

Grade National Reading Report Card; to

discuss the schedule for release of

future NAEP reports; and to discuss and

take action on recommendations of the

Ad Hoc Committee on NAEP

Participation. The Reporting and

Dissemination Committee will also hear

a presentation on reporting results for

subgroups.

There will be a Joint Meeting of the

Committee on Standards, Design, and

Methodology and the Committee on

Reporting and Dissemination from 11:15

a.m.–12:15 p.m. to discuss new models

for reporting achievement levels and

new NCES recommendations for

presenting differences in exclusion and

accommodation rates for reporting

NAEP 2000 results in reading,

mathematics, and science.

On March 2, the full Board will meet

in closed session from 12:15–1:45 p.m.

to receive a briefing on the NAEP 2000

Reading Report Card: Fourth Grade.

This meeting must be closed because

the report has not gone through

complete National Center for Education

Statistics (NCES) adjudication process

and has not been released by the

Secretary of Education. Premature

disclosure of the information presented

for review would be likely to

significantly frustrate 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.

The full Board will meet in open

session from 1:45–2:15 p.m. to receive

an update on the 2002 Math Framework

Project. From 2:15–3:30 p.m., the Board

will hear a panel discussion on the Trial

Urban Assessment.

On March 2, the full Board will meet

in closed session from 3:30–5 p.m. to

review NAEP Long Term Trend

Assessment Items. This meeting must be

closed because the Long Term Trend

Assessment uses the same secure items

for testing and thus cannot be reviewed

in an open meeting. Premature

disclosure of the information would be

likely to significantly frustrate

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 3, the full Board will meet

from 8:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m. From 8:30–

9:30 a.m., the full Board will receive a

briefing on Student Motivation and

NAEP, followed by a presentation on

NAEP Interactive from 9:30–10:00 a.m.

The Board will then hear and take

action on the Committee reports from

10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. whereupon the

meeting will adjourn.

Summaries of the activities of the

closed sessions and related matters,

which 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 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern

Chevron Products Company v. Frontier

Pipeline Company and Express

Pipeline Partnership; Notice of

Complaint

February 22, 2001.

Take notice that on February 15, 2001,

Chevron Products Company (Chevron),

tendered for filing a complaint against

Frontier Pipeline Company (Frontier)

and Express Pipeline Partnership

(Express).

Chevron states that it is a shipper of

crude oil on tariffs filed by Frontier as

well as on joint tariffs published by

Frontier and Express for the shipment of

crude petroleum between International

Boundary, Canada and Salt Lake City,

Utah. Chevron states that it is also a

shipper of sour condensate on a tariff

filed by Frontier. Chevron alleges in its

Complaint that the rates being charged

on the Frontier tariff and on the Frontier

portion of the Frontier/Express joint

tariffs are unjust and unreasonable and

unduly discriminatory and unduly

preferential, and therefore in violation

of the Interstate Commerce Act. Chevron

further alleges that the Express/Frontier

joint tariff rates exceed applicable

ceiling price regulations.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said complaint should file a

motion to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Sections

385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission’s

Rules and Regulations. All such motions

or protests must be filed on or before

March 14, 2001. Protests will be

considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceedings.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the
