AGENCY: The National Endowment for the Humanities.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

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

    Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(Pub. L. 92-463, as amended) notice is hereby given that the National 
Council on the Humanities will meet in Washington, DC on November 13-
14, 2008.

    The purpose of the meeting is to advise the Chairman of the 
National Endowment for the Humanities with respect to policies, 
programs, and procedures for carrying out his functions, and to 
review applications for financial support from and gifts offered to 
the Endowment and to make recommendations thereon to the Chairman.
    The meeting will be held in the Old Post Office Building, 1100 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. A portion of the morning

the public pursuant to subsections (c)(4),(c)(6) and (c)(9)(B) of 
section 552b of Title 5, United States Code because the Council will 
consider information that may disclose: trade secrets and commercial 
or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or 
confidential; information of a personal nature the disclosure of 
which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal 
privacy; and information the premature disclosure of which would be 
likely to significantly frustrate implementation of proposed agency 
action. I have made this determination under the authority granted 
me by the Chairman's Delegation of Authority dated July 19, 1993.
