SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5
U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine Act of
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), the General Services Administration's
(GSA) Federal Advisory Committee Management Final Rule (41 CFR part
102-3). Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Department of
Defense and the Designated Federal Officer for the United States Naval
Academy Board of Visitors, the United States Naval Academy was unable
to provide public notification require by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a)
concerning its September 27,2021 meeting. Accordingly, the Advisory
Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to
41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day notification
requirement.
Purpose of Meeting: The U.S. Naval Academy Board of Visitors will
meet to make such inquiry, as the Board deems necessary, into the state
of morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical
equipment, fiscal affairs, and academic methods of the Naval Academy.
Agenda: Proposed meeting agenda for September 27, 2021.
0830-0900 Members Assemble
0900 Call to Order (Open to Public)
0900-1055 Business Session (Open to Public)
1055-1100 Break (Open to Public)

Current details on the board of visitors may be found at <a href="https://www.usna.edu/PAO/Superintendent/bov.php">https://www.usna.edu/PAO/Superintendent/bov.php</a>.
The executive session of the meeting from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
on September 27, 2021, will consist of discussions of new and pending
administrative or minor disciplinary infractions and non-judicial
punishments involving midshipmen attending the Naval Academy to include
but not limited to, individual honor or conduct violations within the
Brigade, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy. For this reason, the executive session of
this meeting will be closed to the public, as the discussion of such
information cannot be adequately segregated from other topics, which
precludes opening the executive session of this meeting to the public.
Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy, in consultation with the
Department of the Navy General Counsel, has determined in writing that
the meeting shall be partially closed to the public because the
discussions during the executive session from 11 a.m. to noon (12 p.m.)
will be concerned with matters protected under sections 552b(c) (5),
(6), and (7) of title 5, United States Code.
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552b.
Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to FACA and 41 CFR 102-3.140, this
meeting is open to the public. Any public attendance at the meeting
will be governed by prevailing health directives at the United States
Naval Academy. Please contact the Executive Secretary five days prior
the meeting to coordinate access to the meeting.
Written Statements: Per Section 10(a)(3) of the FACA and 41 CFR
102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140, interested persons may submit a written
statement for consideration at any time, but should be received by the
Designated Federal Officer at least 5 days prior to the meeting date so
that the comments may be made available to the Board for their
consideration prior to the meeting. Written statements should be
submitted via mail to 121 Blake Rd., Annapolis, MD 21402. Please note
that since the Board operates under the provisions of the FACA, as
amended, all submitted comments and public presentations will be
treated as public documents and will be made available for public
inspection, including, but not limited to, being posted on the board
website. In the event that prevailing medical directives require a
virtual meeting, the meeting will be virtually broadcasted live from
the United States Naval Academy. The broadcast will be close captioned
for the duration of the public portion of the meeting. The link to view
the meeting will be posted at <a href="https://www.usna.edu/PAO/Superintendent/bov.php">https://www.usna.edu/PAO/Superintendent/bov.php</a> forty-eight hours prior to the meeting. A virtual event will
preclude accommodation of the public to attend the meeting in person.
Dated: 20 September, 2021.
J.M. Pike,
Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, Federal Register
Liaison Officer.
