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

0830-0900 Members Assemble
0900 Call to Order (Open to Public)

Current details on the board of visitors may be found at https://www.usna.edu/PAO/Superintendent/bov.php.
    The executive session of the meeting from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 
on December 6, 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 (U.S.C.).
    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 business 
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 15 business 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 Board of

Visitors, 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. If, and only if, 
prevailing medical directives require the employment of a virtual 
meeting, the virtual meeting will be 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 https://www.usna.edu/PAO/Superintendent/bov.php forty-eight hours prior to the meeting. A virtual event will 
preclude accommodation of the public to attend the meeting in person.

Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, Federal Register
