announcing our intent to form a negotiated rulemaking committee under the No Child Left Behind Act, the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1996, and the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The purpose of the Committee is to negotiate and reach consensus on recommendations for proposed rules for Indian education under six sections of The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The May 5 notice discussed the issues to be negotiated and the interest group representatives proposed as members of the committee.
The first meeting of the Committee will be held from June 9 to June 13 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At this meeting, the Committee will address organizational issues such as facilitation, ground rules, schedules, subcommittees, and prioritizing issues. There is no requirement for advance registration for members of the public who wish to attend and observe the meeting. The need to convene the committee as soon as possible in order to meet the schedule for publication of the proposed rule requires that we publish this notice less than 15 days before the meeting date.
