disclosure of proposed test items for the
writing pilot 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 Ad Hoc Committee on NAEP
Testing and Reporting on Students with
Disabilities and English Language
Learners will meet in open session from
2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Thereafter, the
Executive Committee will meet in open
session from 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and in
closed session from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
During the closed session the
Executive Committee will receive a
briefing from the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) on options
for NAEP contracts covering the 2008–
2012 assessment years, based on
funding for Fiscal Year 2009–2010. The
discussion of contract options and costs
will address the implications for
congressionally mandated goals and
adherence to 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.
The second portion of the closed
session of the Executive Committee is
for discussion of staff appointments and
actions. 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.
On May 15, the full Board will meet
in open session from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30
a.m. The Board will review and approve
the agenda and the March 2009 Board
meeting minutes. Following these
actions and following welcome remarks
from Seattle hosts, the Governing Board
will receive a report from the Interim
Executive Director of the Governing
Board, and hear an update on the work
of NCES.
On May 15, three of the Board’s
standing committees—the Assessment
Development Committee, the Reporting
and Dissemination Committee, and the
Committee on Standards, Design and
Methodology will meet in open sessions
from 9:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

On May 15 from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30
p.m. the full Board will meet in closed
session to receive a briefing on the
NAEP 2008 Arts Report Card from the
Associate Commissioner of NCES. The
Governing Board will be provided with
embargoed data on the Arts Report Card
that cannot be discussed in an open
meeting prior to their official release.
From 1:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m., the full
Board will receive an update from NCES
on NAEP participation and motivation
issues on the 2009 Math, Reading, and
Science assessments. The participation
and motivation issues pertain to the
assessment results and cannot be
discussed in open session prior to their
release. Both these sessions must
therefore be conducted in closed session
as premature 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.
From 3 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. the Board
will receive a briefing on the Governing
Board/Council of Chief State School
Officers Policy Task Force from the Task
Force Chair Joe Willhoft, and Assistant
Superintendent of Washington Office of
Public Instruction. From 3:45 p.m. to
4:30 p.m. the Board will receive an
update on the NAEP 2012 Technological
Literacy Framework Project. The May 15
session of the Board meeting is
scheduled to adjourn at 4:30 p.m.
On May 16, the Nominations
Committee will meet in closed session
from 7:45 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. to review
and discuss confidential information
regarding nominees received for Board
vacancies for terms beginning on
October 1, 2009. 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 open
session on May 16 from 8:30 a.m. to 10
a.m. to receive and take action on
Committee reports. The May 16, 2009
session of the Board meeting is
scheduled to adjourn at 10 a.m.
Detailed minutes of the meeting,
including summaries of the activities of
the closed sessions and related matters
that 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4))
requires the Department to publish in
the Federal Register this notice of a new
system of records maintained by the
Department. The Department’s
regulations implementing the Privacy
Act are contained in part 5b of title 34
of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR).
The Privacy Act applies to a record
about an individual that is maintained
in a system of records from which
individually identifying information is
retrieved by a unique identifier
associated with each individual, such as
a name or social security number. The
information about each individual is
called a ‘‘record,’’ and the system,
whether manual or computer-based, is
called a ‘‘system of records.’’
The Privacy Act requires each agency
to publish a notice of a system of
records in the Federal Register and to
submit, whenever the agency publishes
a new system of records or makes a
significant change to an established
system of records, a report to the
Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
OMB. Each agency is also required to
send copies of the report to the Chair of
the Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform of the House of
Representatives, and to the Chair of the
Committee on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs of the Senate.
These reports are intended to permit an
evaluation of the probable effect of the
proposal on the privacy rights of
individuals.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
The Department may disclose information contained in a record in
this system of records without the consent of the individual if the
disclosure is compatible with the purposes for which the record was
collected. The Department may make these disclosures on a case-by-case
basis, or, if the Department has complied with the computer matching
requirements of the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of
1988, as amended, under a computer matching agreement. Any disclosure
of individually identifiable information from a record in this system
must also comply with the requirements of section 183 of the ESRA (20
U.S.C. 9573) providing for confidentiality standards that apply to all
collections, reporting and publication of data by IES.
Contract Disclosure. If the Department contracts with an entity to
perform any function that requires disclosing records to the
contractor's employees, the Department may disclose the records to
those employees. Before entering into such a contract, the Department
shall require the contractor to maintain Privacy Act safeguards as
required under 5 U.S.C. 552a(m) with respect to the records in the

Records are maintained in a database on the Department's and the
contractor's secure servers and in other electronic storage media.
RETRIEVABILITY:
Records are retrieved by respondent name.
SAFEGUARDS:
Access to the records is limited to authorized personnel only. All
physical access to the Department's site and to the site of the
Department's contractor where this system of records is maintained, is

badge.
The computer system employed by the Department and by the
Department's contractor offers a high degree of resistance to tampering

Department and contract staff on a need-to-know basis, and controls an
individual user's ability to access and alter records within the
system.
