Meetings of the Naval Research Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Notice of closed meetings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Naval Research Advisory Committee (NRAC) Panel on Sea 
Basing will meet to hold classified government briefs and receive 
proprietary information from the commercial sector that the Department 
of the Navy should incorporate in its recommendations for near and far 
term technologies or equipment to be developed.

DATES: The meetings will be held on Tuesday, July 13, 2004, and 
Wednesday, July 14, 2004, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meetings will be held at the Office of Naval Research, 
800 North Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22217-5660.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis Ryan, Program Director, Naval 
Research Advisory Committee, 800 North Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 
22217-5660, (703) 696-6769.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is provided in accordance with 
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. app. 2). 
All sessions of the meetings will be devoted to executive sessions that 
will include discussions and technical examination of information 
related to sea basing technologies. These briefings and discussions 
will contain proprietary information and classified information that is 
specifically authorized under criteria established by Executive Order 
to be kept secret in the interest of national defense and are in fact 
properly classified pursuant to such Executive Order. The proprietary, 
classified and non-classified matters to be discussed are so 
inextricably intertwined as to preclude opening any portion of the 
meetings.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. app. 2, section 10(d), the Secretary of 
the Navy has determined in writing that the public interest requires 
that all sessions of the meetings be closed to the public because they 
will be concerned with matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and (4). 
Due to an unavoidable delay in administrative processing, the 15 days 
advance notice could not be provided.

    Dated: July 1, 2004.
J.T. Baltimore,
Lieutenant Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, 
Alternate Federal Register Liaison Officer.
