National Assessment Governing Board,
800 North Capitol Street, NW., Suite
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 selecting subject areas to be
assessed, developing assessment
objectives, developing appropriate
student achievement levels for each
grade and subject tested, developing
guidelines for reporting and
disseminating results, and developing
standards and procedures for interstate
and national comparisons.
The Assessment Development
Committee will meet in closed session
on March 3 from 12 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
to review secure test items for the
National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP) 2009 Reading
Assessment. The meeting must be
conducted in closed session as
disclosure of proposed test items from
the NAEP assessments would
significantly impede implementation of
the NAEP program, and is therefore
protected by exemption 9(B) of section
552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.
On March 3, the Ad Hoc Committee
on NAEP 12th Grade Participation and
Motivation will meet in open session
from 2:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. The
Executive Committee will meet in open
session on March 3 from 4:30 p.m. to 6
p.m.
The Executive Committee will meet in
closed session on March 3 from 5:30
p.m. to 6 p.m. to receive independent
government cost estimates for contracts
related to the National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP). 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 and will provide an advantage
to potential bidders attending the
meeting. The 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 4, the full Board will meet
in open session from 8:30 a.m. to 12
p.m. The Board will approve the agenda
and the Chairman will introduce new
Board members, who will then be
administered the Oath of Office. The
Board will then hear the Executive

Director’s report and receive an update
on the work of the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) from the
Commissioner of NCES.
From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on March 4,
the Board’s standing committees—the
Assessment Development Committee;
the Committee on Standards, Design,
and Methodology; and the Reporting
and Dissemination Committee—will
meet in open session.
On March 4, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.,
the full Board will meet in closed
session. The Committee on Standards,
Design, and Methodology will update
the Board on the 12th grade
Mathematics Achievement Level Setting
Process and the Committee
deliberations on January 11–12, 2005, in
Jackson, Mississippi. The proposed
achievement level cut scores and
percent of students at each achievement
level (Advanced, Proficient, Basic, and
Below Basic) will be discussed with the
Board for future approval. This
information cannot be released to the
public prior to the October release of the
2005 assessment in Mathematics. The
No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
requires NAGB to release these data, in
collaboration with NCES, after a
thorough review of the data and report
content for national and state release.
These data constitute a major basis for
the national release and cannot be
released in an open meeting prior to the
official release of the report. The
meeting must be therefore be conducted
in closed session as disclosure of data
would significantly impede
implementation of the NAEP program,
and is therefore protected by exemption
9(B) of section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.
On March 4, the full Board will meet
in open session from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Board members will receive and discuss
preliminary recommendations from the
Ad Hoc Committee on 12th Grade
NAEP. This item will be followed by an
update on the NAEP 2009 Science
Framework contract from 2:30 p.m. to 3
p.m. The Board will then hear a
presentation from ACT Inc., on recent
research on readiness for college and
training for work from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
after which the March 4 session of the
board meeting will adjourn.
On March 5, the Board’s Nominations
Committee will meet in open session
from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. The full Board will
convene in open session on March 5
from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
From 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., the Board
will hear a presentation on the High
school initiative. Board actions on
policies and Committee reports are
scheduled to take place between 10:45
a.m. and 12 p.m., upon which the

Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA), Department of
Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces BPA’s
intention to prepare an EIS, under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), on a proposed interconnection
requested by PPM Energy, Inc. (PPM) to
integrate electrical power from their
proposed Klondike III Wind Project
(Wind Project) into the Federal
Columbia River Transmission System
(FCRTS). The Wind Project is located in
Sherman County, Oregon. BPA proposes
to execute an agreement with PPM to
provide them with an interconnection
for up to 300 megawatts (MW) of
generation from the Wind Project.
Interconnection would require BPA to
build and operate a new 230-kilovolt
(kV) transmission line and two
substations.
Written comments on the NEPA
scoping process are due to the address
below no later than March 17, 2005.
Comments may also be made at an EIS
scoping open house meeting to be held
on March 1, 2005, at the address below.
ADDRESSES: Send letters with comments
and suggestions on the proposed scope
of the Draft EIS and requests to be
placed on the Wind Project mailing list
to Bonneville Power Administration,

Please refer to the Klondike III Wind
Project Interconnection in all
communications. A scoping meeting
will be held on March 1, 2005, from 6
p.m. to 8 p.m., at St. Mary’s Parish Hall,
807 Barnett Street, Wasco, Oregon. At
this open house meeting, BPA
representatives will be available to
discuss the proposed project, answer
questions, and accept oral and written
comments. BPA representatives will
provide information on alternative
routes being considered for the
proposed BPA transmission line, the
types of transmission line structures
being considered, and topics to be
addressed in the EIS. PPM
representatives will be available to
discuss the proposed Wind Project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action. BPA proposes to
execute an agreement with PPM to
provide interconnection services for up
to 300 MW of the Klondike III Wind
Project. As part of this agreement, BPA
would agree to construct and operate a
230-kV transmission line about 12 miles
long, and two new substations, one at
each end of the proposed transmission
line. The electricity from the Wind
Project would interconnect to the

FCRTS at BPA’s existing John Day
Substation through a new 500/230-kV
substation which could accommodate
wind developers in the area.
Transmission line structure types being
considered include H-frame wood pole,
steel pole, and lattice steel. The line and
new substations would be located on
privately owned land primarily used for
dryland wheat farming.
In addition to these Federal actions,
the EIS will consider the reasonably
foreseeable consequence of construction
and operation of PPM’s proposed
Klondike III Wind Project. The Wind
Project would be located adjacent to the
currently operating Klondike Wind
Project, Phases I and II, on privately
owned land, most of which is used for
agriculture. The Klondike III Wind
Project would add up to 165 operational
wind turbines by the end of 2006. The
Wind Project includes wind turbines,
substations, access roads, and other
project facilities. Siting of the proposed
Wind Project is under the jurisdiction of
Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council
(EFSC). PPM is in the process of
applying for an EFSC Site Certificate for
the Wind Project, and is also
determining which other State and
Federal permitting requirements will
need to be met for the Wind Project.
Construction of the BPA transmission
line and substations and the Wind
Project currently is expected to
commence by March 2006. The Wind
Project would be interconnected to BPA
transmission lines in the fall of 2006,
with a proposed operation date of
December 2006. Agricultural activities
could continue to take place directly
adjacent to the transmission line
structures and wind turbines. The Wind
Project would operate for much of each
year for at least 20 years.

Proposed Action. An alternative to the
