DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

 
Closed Meeting of the National Advisory Council on Indian 
Education

AGENCY: National Advisory Council on Indian Education (NACIE), U.S. 
Department of Education.

ACTION: Notice of closed meeting.

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

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth the schedule and proposed agenda of an 
upcoming closed meeting of the National Advisory Council on Indian 
Education (the Council) and is intended to notify the general public. 
This notice also describes the functions of the Council. Notice of the 
Council's meetings is required under Section 10(a)(2) of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act and by the Council's charter. This notice is 
appearing in the Federal Register less than 15 days prior to the 
meeting date due to scheduling conflicts and the importance of 
selecting a new Director for the Office of Indian Education in a timely 
manner.
    Agenda: The Council will meet in a closed teleconference session to 
discuss personnel issues related to the selection of the Director for 
the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Indian Education. The 
Council will be discussing issues that relate solely to the internal 
personnel rules and practices of an agency. The Council 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).
    Date and Time: December 12, 2006; 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Eastern 
Standard Time.
    Location: U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20202.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Council advises the Secretary of

of regulations, and administrative policies and practices) of any 
program over which the Secretary has jurisdiction and includes Indian 
children or adults as participants or programs that may benefit Indian 
children or adults, including any program established under Title VII, 
Part A of the ESEA. The Council submits to the Congress, not later than
