SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. 1001
et seq.), the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41
CFR 102-
[[Page 61839]]
3.140 and 102-3.150. A completed background check and government issued
Real ID are required to access the meeting location. All members of the
public are subject to security screening. Seating is available on a
first come, first served basis.
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.140d, the committee is not obligated to
allow a member of the public to speak or otherwise address the
committee during the meeting and members of the public attending the
committee meeting will not be permitted to present questions from the
floor or speak to any issue under consideration of the committee.
Purpose of the Meeting: In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 9455(e)(1),
the BoV AFA provides independent advice and recommendations to the
Secretary of War, through the Secretary of the Air Force, on matters
relating to the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), including morale,
discipline, and social climate, the curriculum, instruction, physical
equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating
to the USAFA that the BoV AFA decides to consider. This is a 2027
Organizational Meeting of the BoV AFA.
The closed meeting from 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. MT on October 16,
2026, will consist of discussions of actions that are pre-decisional in
nature of which premature disclosure may significantly impact the
implementation of a proposed action. For this reason, a portion 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 closed meeting to the public. The Administrative
Assistant for the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force (SAF/AA), in
consultation with the Office of General Counsel, has determined in
writing that the meeting shall be partially closed to the public
because the discussions during the closed meeting will be concerned
with matters protected under section 552b(c)(9) of title 5, U.S.C.
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552b.
Written Statements: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and section
102-3.140 and section 1009(a)(3) of FACA, any member of the public
wishing to provide input to the BoV AFA may submit a written statement.
The public or interested organizations may submit written comments or
statements to the Board about its mission and/or the topics to be
addressed in the open sessions of this public meeting. Written comments
or statements should be submitted to the Alternate Designated Federal
Officer via electronic mail, at the email address listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section in the following formats: Adobe
Acrobat and/or Microsoft Word. The comment or statement must include
the author's name, title, affiliation, address, and daytime telephone
number. Written comments or statements being submitted in response to
the agenda set forth in this notice must be received at least five (5)
business days prior to the meeting so they may be made available to the
BoV Chairman for consideration prior to the meeting. Written comments
or statements received after October 11, 2026, may not be provided to
the BoV until its next meeting. Please note that because the BoV
operates under FACA, all written comments will be treated as public
documents and will be made available for public inspection.
Disability and Language Accommodations: Please direct any requests
for disability or language accommodations to the Alternate Designated
Federal Officer in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.
Authority: 10 U.S.C. 9455; 41 CFR 102-3
