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

SUMMARY: This amends the notice of a partially closed meeting of the 
National Assessment Governing Board published on Friday, April, 25, 
1997 in Vol. 62, No. 80, page 20160. On May 8, 1997, the Achievement 
Levels Committee will meet in partially closed session from 4:00-5:00 
p.m. The Committee will continue discussion of the results of the 
current 1996 science level-setting activities and review the analysis 
of data and the proposed exemplar items. This meeting must be conducted 
in closed session because reference will be made to specific items from 
the assessment and premature disclosure of the information presented 
for review would be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of 
a proposed agency action. Such matters are protected by exemption 
(9)(B) of Section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. On May 9, 1997, between 
1:00-1:45 p.m., the full Board will meet in closed session to hear a 
briefing on he 1996 science level-setting activities. This part of the 
meeting must be conducted in closed session because references will be 
made to specific items from the assessment and premature disclosure of 
the information presented for review would be likely to significantly 
frustrate implementation of a proposed agency action. Such matters are 
protected by exemption (9)(B) of Section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C. The 
public is being given less than fifteen days notice of these closed 
meetings because advice from consultants that bears on the subject 
matter of these meetings described above came too late to be considered 
in the preparation of the original notice.

    Dated: April 28, 1997.

Executive Director, NAGB.
