The Commission is governed by the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (P. L. 92-463, as amended; 5 U.S.C.A. Appendix 2).

PURPOSE AND FUNCTIONS

Pursuant to section 852 of the Higher Education Amendments Act of 1998, the Web-based Education Commission is established in the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education, Office of Policy, Planning and Innovation.

Specifically, the duties of the Commission are:

1. The Commission shall conduct a through study to access the educational software available in retail markets for secondary and postsecondary students who choose to use such software.

2. As part of the study conducted under this subsection, the Commission shall hold public hearings in each region of the United States concerning the assessment.

3. To the extent practicable, in carrying out the study under this subsection, the Commission shall identify and use existing information related to the assessment.

The Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education names the Designated Federal Official (DFO) to the Commission.

Not later than 30 days after the date on which all members of the Commission have been appointed, the Commission shall hold its first meeting. Commission members shall meet at the call of the Chairperson, with the approval of the Designated Federal Official or designee who is present at all meetings. Meetings are open to the public except as may be determined otherwise by the Assistant Secretary of Postsecondary Education in accordance with Section 10(d) of the FACA. Adequate public notification is given in advance of each meeting. Meetings are conducted and records of the proceedings kept as required by applicable laws.

A quorum of the Commission consists of eight members. A lesser number of members may hold hearings.

ESTIMATED ANNUAL COST

Members will serve without compensation. However, members may each receive reimbursement for travel expenses incident to attending Commission meetings, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by the Federal travel regulations. There is authorized to be appropriated $450,000 for fiscal year 1999 to the Commission. Any sums appropriated under the authorization shall remain available, without fiscal year limitation, until expended. The estimated annual person-years of staff support are two (2) FTE.

REPORTS

Not later than one year after the first meeting of the Commission, the Commission shall submit a report to the President and Congress, which shall contain a detailed statement of the findings and conclusions of the Commission resulting from the study, together with the Commission's recommendations:
