Meeting of the U.S. Naval Academy Board of Visitors

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of partially closed meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Naval Academy Board of Visitors will meet to make 
such inquiry, as the Board shall deem necessary, into the state of 
morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, 
fiscal affairs, and academic methods of the Naval Academy. The 
executive session of this meeting from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on March 7, 
2011, will include discussions of disciplinary matters, law enforcement 
investigations into allegations of criminal activity, and personnel 
issues at the Naval Academy, 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.

DATES: The open session of the meeting will be held on March 7th, 2011, 
from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The closed session of this meeting will be the 
executive session held from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the Bo Coppedge Room of Alumni 
Hall, U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. The meeting will be 
handicap accessible.
    Due to internal DoD difficulties, beyond the control of the USNA 
Board of Visitors or its Designated Federal Officer, we were unable to 
process the Federal Register notice for the March 7, 2011, meeting of 
the USNA Board of Visitors as required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a). 
Accordingly, the Committee Management Officer for the Department of 
Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day 
notification requirement.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Commander Travis Haire, 
USN, Executive Secretary to the Board of Visitors, Office of the 
Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD 21402-5000, 410-293-
1503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice of meeting is provided per the

[[Page 10342]]

Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. App.). The 
executive session of the meeting from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on March 7, 
2011, will consist of discussions of law enforcement investigations 
into allegations of criminal activity, new and pending administrative/
minor disciplinary infractions and nonjudicial punishments involving 
the Midshipmen attending the Naval Academy to include but not limited 
to individual honor/conduct violations within the Brigade, and 
personnel issues. 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 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 12 p.m. will be concerned with 
matters coming under sections 552b(c)(5), (6), and (7) of title 5, 
United States Code.

    Dated: February 17, 2011.
H.E. Higgins,
Lieutenant, U.S. Navy, Office of the Judge Advocate General, Alternate 
Federal Register Liaison Officer.
