Session—8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
Full Board: Open Session—9 a.m. to

Location: The Ritz-Carlton Tysons

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Munira Mwalimu, Operations Officer,
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 November 16 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
(two hours) to review secure topics for
proposed 2009 National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP) science
interactive computer tasks at grades 4, 8,
and 12. The meeting must be conducted
in closed session as disclosure of secure
interactive computer tasks on the NAEP
Science Assessment 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.
The Executive Committee will meet in
open session on November 16 from 4:30
p.m. to 5 p.m. and will meet in closed
session from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. The
Committee will receive independent
government cost estimates from the
National Center for Education Statistics
for proposed contracts for item
development, sample selection,
analysis, and reporting of NAEP testing
for 2008–2012, and their implications
on future NAEP activities. The
discussion of independent government
cost estimates prior to the development
of the Request for Proposals for NAEP
contracts covering assessment years
2008–2012 is necessary for ensuring that
NAEP contracts meet congressionally
mandated goals and adhere to Board
policies on NAEP assessments. This part
of the meeting must be conducted in
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:50 Oct 20, 2006
Jkt 211001
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 November 17, the full Board will
meet in open session from 8:30 a.m. to
12:15 p.m. From 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
the Board will approve the agenda
which will be followed by the Oath of
Office ceremony for new Board
members. The Board will receive the
Executive Director’s report and hear an
update on the work of the National
Center for Education Statistics.
From 9:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on
November 17, 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 sessions.
On November 17, the full Board will
meet in closed session from 12:15 p.m.
to 1:45 p.m. The Board membership will
be briefed by the Associate
Commissioner of the National Center for
Education Statistics on secure national
student achievement data related to two
upcoming NAEP 12th grade reports. The
Governing Board will be provided with
embargoed data from the 2005
Mathematics and Reading Assessments
in grade 12 and the 2005 High School
Transcript Study, which includes
findings from the 2005 12th grade
Mathematics and Science Assessments.
These data constitute the major basis for
the initial public release of The Nation’s
Report Card, and cannot be discussed in
an open meeting prior to the official
release of these two reports. The
meeting must therefore be conducted in
closed session as disclosure of data
would significantly impede
implementation of The Nation’s Report
Card initial release activities, as
protected by exemption 9(B) of section
552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.
On November 17 from 2 p.m. to 3
p.m. the Board will receive a report
from the Commission on the Future of
Higher Education. This session will be
followed by an update on the NAEP
Writing Framework project from 3 p.m.
to 4 p.m. From 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.,
Board members will receive an ethics
briefing from the Office of General
Counsel, upon which the November 17
session of the Board meeting will
conclude.

The Nominations Committee will
meet in closed session on November 18
from 8 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. to review and
discuss confidential information
regarding nominees received for Board
vacancies for terms beginning on
October 1, 2007. This discussion
pertains 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.
From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., the full Board
will meet in open session. The full
Board will receive a briefing on setting
achievement levels from 9 a.m. to 10:15
a.m. Board actions on policies and
Committee reports are scheduled to take
place between 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m.,
upon which the November 18, 2006
session of the Board meeting will
adjourn.
Detailed minutes of the meeting,
including summaries of the activities of
the closed sessions and related matters
that are informative to the policies 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.

proceedings and are available for public

CalPeak Power LLC; Notice of
Issuance of Order
October 16, 2006.
CalPeak Power LLC (CalPeak Power)
filed an application for market-based
rate authority, with an accompanying
tariff. The proposed market-based rate
tariff provides for the sale of energy,
capacity and ancillary services at
market-based rates. CalPeak Power also
requested waivers of various
Commission regulations. In particular,
CalPeak Power requested that the
Commission grant blanket approval
under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future
issuances of securities and assumptions
of liability by CalPeak Power.
On October 11, 2006, pursuant to
delegated authority, the Director,
Division of Tariffs and Market
Development—West, granted the
requests for blanket approval under Part
34. The Director’s order also stated that
the Commission would publish a
separate notice in the Federal Register
establishing a period of time for the
filing of protests. Accordingly, any
person desiring to be heard or to protest
the blanket approvals of issuances of
securities or assumptions of liability by
CalPeak Power should file a motion to
intervene or protest with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214
of the Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214
(2004).
Notice is hereby given that the
deadline for filing motions to intervene
or protest is November 13, 2006.
Absent a request to be heard in
opposition by the deadline above,
CalPeak Power is authorized to issue
securities and assume obligations or
liabilities as a guarantor, indorser,
surety, or otherwise in respect of any
security of another person; provided
that such issuance or assumption is for
some lawful object within the corporate
purposes of CalPeak Power, compatible
with the public interest, and is
reasonably necessary or appropriate for
such purposes.
The Commission reserves the right to
require a further showing that neither
public nor private interests will be
adversely affected by continued
approvals of CalPeak Power’s issuance
of securities or assumptions of liability.
