It is demonstrated that outer and inner electron shells, including that formed by collectivized electrons of the fullerene C{sub 60}, affects dramatically the cross section of the subvalent ns subshells of the noble-gas endohedral atoms A-C{sub 60}. The calculations are performed within the framework of a very simple, so-called ''orange skin,'' model that makes it possible, in spite of its simplicity, to take into account the modification of the ns subshell due to its interaction with inner and outer atomic shells, as well as with the collectivized electrons of the C{sub 60}. As a concrete example, we consider the Xe 5s electrons completely collectivized by the powerful action of the Xe close and remote multielectron neighboring shells.
