NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR LITERACY


National Institute for Literacy Advisory Board

AGENCY: National Institute for Literacy.

ACTION: Notice of open meeting with partially closed session (amended).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On March 8, 2007, the Secretary published in the Federal 
Register a notice of open meeting with a partially closed session for 
National Institute for Literacy. This notice amends the March 8, 2007, 
notice by changing the meeting to a one-day only meeting. This amended 
notice is appearing in the Federal Register less than 15 days before 
the meeting due to scheduling difficulties within the Agency.
    This notice sets forth the schedule and a summary of the agenda for 
an upcoming meeting of the National Institute for Literacy Advisory 
Board (Board). The notice also describes the functions of the Board. 
Notice of this meeting is required by section 10(a)(2) of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act. This document is intended to notify the general 
public of their opportunity to attend the meeting. Individuals who will 
need accommodations for a disability in order to attend the meeting 
(e.g., interpreting services, assistive listening devices, or materials 
in alternative format) should notify Steve Langley at telephone number 
(202) 233-2043. We will attempt to meet requests for accommodations 
after this date but cannot guarantee their availability. The meeting 
site is accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Date and Time: Open session--March 28, 2007, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 
p.m. Closed session--March 28, 2007, from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The National Institute for Literacy, 1775 I Street, NW.,

Literacy, 1775 I Street, NW., Suite 730, Washington, DC 20006; 
telephone number: (202) 233-2043; e-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board is established under section 242 
of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Public Law 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, 2007. On March 28, 2007 from 8:30 a.m. to 
5:30 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 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 15, 2007.
Sandra L. Baxter,
Director.
