Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 170 / Thursday, September 3, 2009 / Notices
concludes that the activity will have no
more than a negligible impact on the
affected species or stocks, as there will
be no expected effects on annual rates
of survival and reproduction of these
species or stocks. This determination is
further supported by the required
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
measures described in this document.
As a result of implementation of the
described mitigation and monitoring
measures, no take by injury or death
would be requested, anticipated or
authorized, and the potential for
temporary or permanent hearing
impairment is very unlikely due to the
relatively low noise levels (and
consequently small zone of impact
relative to the size of Massachusetts
Bay).
While the number of marine
mammals that may be harassed will
depend on the distribution and
abundance of marine mammals in the
vicinity of the LNG Port facility, the
estimated numbers of marine mammals
to be harassed are small relative to the
affected species or stock sizes.
These determinations also apply to an
IHA issued only for take incidental to
operations of the Deepwater Port
facility, which is a subset of the
activities analyzed in this Federal
Register Notice of Issuance of an IHA
and the related Federal Register Notice
of Proposed Issuance of an IHA.
Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to Northeast
Gateway for conducting LNG Port
facility operations in Massachusetts
Bay, provided the previously mentioned
mitigation, monitoring, and reporting
requirements are incorporated. NMFS
plans to modify the IHA to include
Pipeline Lateral operations and
maintenance/repair activities by
Algonquin once the ESA section 7
consultation is completed, provided that
a non-jeopardy determination for ESAlisted species is reached.
Dated: August 28, 2009.

Deputy Director, Office of Protected
Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.

Call for Nominations for Service as a
Member of the National Assessment
Governing Board
AGENCY: U.S. Department of Education,
National Assessment Governing Board.
SUMMARY: The Secretary of Education,
the Honorable Arne Duncan, and the
National Assessment Governing Board
seek your assistance in identifying
qualified individuals to serve as
members of the Governing Board for
service terms beginning October 1, 2010.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Assessment Governing Board
is established under section 412 of the
National Education Statistics Act of
1994, as amended. In 1988 Congress
passed legislation creating the Board,
which is responsible for setting policy
for the National Assessment of
Educational Progress (NAEP)—also
known as The Nation’s Report Card. The
legislation has been amended and
reauthorized several times since 1988,
most recently in 2002. The statute
provides that ‘‘* * * the Secretary and
the Assessment Board shall ensure at all
times that the membership of the
Assessment Board reflects regional,
racial, gender and cultural balance and
diversity—and that the Assessment
Board exercises its independent
judgment, free from inappropriate
influences and special interests.’’
Currently, the Board is comprised of 26
members who are widely representative
of our nation and who serve four-year
terms. More detailed material about the
Governing Board and NAEP is available
at https://www.nagb.org.
As Board member vacancies occur,
new members are appointed by the
Secretary from among candidates
forwarded to the Secretary by the Board.
The Board solicits nominees via broad
outreach to organizations, and
individuals. For each vacant position,
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the Board nominates six persons who,
by reason of experience or training, are
qualified to serve as a Board member in
a particular category.
For 2010 the Board must nominate
candidates for five positions in the
following five categories:
1. Chief State School Officer
2. Fourth Grade Teacher
3. Eighth Grade Teacher
4. General Public/Parent
5. Secondary School Principal
The Board invites nominations of
potential candidates in one or more of
the five categories listed above. For the
Board to consider a candidate, it is
essential to have the following
information for each individual being
nominated:
Nominating letter. This letter should
state the category for which the
individual is being nominated, and
describe the candidate’s qualifications
as they relate to the Board’s policy
responsibilities for the National
Assessment of Educational Progress.
Full resume or curriculum vitae. A
full resume or vitae is necessary to
evaluate a candidate’s qualifications.
Please note that a short biographical
sketch is not sufficient for this purpose.
To receive full consideration, all
recommendations must be received by
the Governing Board no later than
September 30, 2009. The Board is
seeking the very best nominees to
recommend to the Secretary, and in
doing so, to have the broadest possible
representation. Current members of the
Board who have not completed two full
terms, and who are otherwise eligible,
may be re-nominated.
Board members are considered special
Federal employees. As such, they
receive an honorarium while attending
Board meetings; must abide by
applicable laws and policies, including
conflict of interest regulations; and are
reimbursed for travel and other
expenses in accordance with Federal
Travel Regulations. The Board meets
regularly four times a year, and
committees of the Board meet at other
times, as necessary.
Nominations may be submitted via
mail, e-mail, or fax to: Dr. Mary Crovo,
Deputy Executive Director, National
Assessment Governing Board, 800 North
Capitol Street, NW., Suite 825,
Washington, DC 20002–4233, Phone:
(202) 357–6938, Fax: (202) 357–6945, Email: Mary.Crovo@ed.gov.

National Assessment Governing Board,
