SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board is established under section 242 
of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, P.L. 105-220 (20 U.S.C. 9252). 
The Board consists of ten individuals appointed by the President with 
the advice and consent of the Senate. The Board advises and makes 
recommendations to the Interagency Group that administers the 
Institute. The Interagency Group is composed of the Secretaries of 
Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services. The Interagency Group 
considers the Board's recommendations in planning the goals of the 
Institute and in implementing any programs to achieve those goals. 
Specifically, the Board performs the following functions: (a) Makes 
recommendations concerning the appointment of the Director and the 
staff of the Institute; (b) provides independent advice on operation of 
the Institute; and (c) receives reports from the Interagency Group and 
the Institute's Director.
    The National Institute for Literacy Advisory Board will meet March 
28-29, 2007. On March 28, 2007 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and March 
29, 2007 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Board will meet in open session 
to discuss strategic planning and the dissemination plan for the 
National Early Literacy Panel Report.
    On March 28, 2007 from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Board will meet in 
closed session to discuss personnel issues. This discussion will relate 
to the Institute's internal personnel practices, including 
consideration of the Director's performance and salary. The discussion 
is likely to disclose information of a personal nature where disclosure 
would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personnel privacy. 
The discussion must therefore be held in closed session under 
exemptions 2 and 6 of the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(2) and (6). A summary of the activities at the closed session 
and related matters that are informative to the public and consistent 
with the policy of 5 U.S.C. 552b will be available to the public within 
14 days of the meeting.
    Records are kept of all Advisory Board proceedings and are 
available for public inspection at the National Institute for Literacy, 
1775 I Street, NW., Suite 730, Washington, DC 20006, from 8:30 a.m. to 
5 p.m.

    Dated: March 2, 2007.
Sandra L. Baxter,
Director.
