SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Assessment Governing Board 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.
    On December 6, the Executive Committee of the National Assessment 
Governing Board will meet via teleconference from 11:00 a.m. until the 
completion of business. Following the roll call and introductory 
remarks, the Committee will review the agenda for a NAGB meeting in St. 
Louis on Saturday, January 13, 1996.
    The meeting of the Nominations Committee, scheduled for December 8, 
1995, will be held from 4:00 p.m. until the completion of business. 
After the roll call and introductory remarks, the Committee will review 
procedures to be used for the solicitation of the names of individuals 
to succeed the Board members whose terms expire September 30, 1996. The 
expiring terms are in the following categories: local superintendent, 
general public (2), testing and measurement expert (2), state 
superintendent, and 12th grade teacher.
    Because these are teleconference meetings, facilities will be 
provided so

the public will have access to the Committee's deliberations. These 
facilities will be provided in the location listed in the portion of 
this notice titles ``LOCATION.''

teleconference because there was no funding available to hold the 
previously announced Board Meeting in Seattle and plans have to be 
approved to hold another Board Meeting as soon as possible and to begin 
the Nominations process.

public inspection at the U.S. Department of Education, National 
Assessment Governing Board, Suite 825, 800 North Capitol Street NW.,
