The Navy, in its decisions concerning 

the granting of licenses, will give special 

consideration to existing licensees, 

small business firms, and consortia 

involving small business firms. The 

Navy intends to ensure that its licensed 

inventions are broadly commercialized 

throughout the United States. 

A Patent Cooperation Treaty 

application may be filed for each of the 

patents as noted above. The Navy 

intends that licensees interested in a 

license in territories outside of the 

United States will assume foreign 

prosecution and pay the cost of such 

prosecution.

Department of the Navy 

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 

September 19, 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 September 19, 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 

Washington, DC. The meeting will be 

handicap accessible. 

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 

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 September 19, 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: August 24, 2011.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.); the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations for implementing 

the procedural provisions of NEPA (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508); and the 

Department of Energy (DOE) 

implementing procedures (10 CFR part 

1021); the Naval Nuclear Propulsion 

Program (NNPP) announces its intent to 

prepare an Environmental Assessment 

(EA) for a radiological work and storage 

building at the Knolls Atomic Power 

Laboratory (KAPL) Kesselring Site in 

West Milton, New York. A new facility 

is needed to streamline radioactive 

material handling and storage 

operations, permit demolition of aging 

facilities, and accommodate efficient 

maintenance of existing nuclear 

reactors. 

DATES: Interested parties are invited to 

provide comments on environmental 

issues and concerns relative to this 

notice of intent (NOI) and the scope of 

the EA, on or before September 30, 

2011, to ensure full consideration 

during the preparation of the EA. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

submitted by mail to: David Delwiche, 

Naval Reactors Laboratory Field Office, 

P.O. Box 1069, Schenectady, NY 12301. 

Comments provided by e-mail should 

be submitted to 

david.delwiche@nrp.doe.gov. Comments 

provided by phone should use 518– 

395–6366. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information about this project, 

contact Mr. David Delwiche, as 

described above. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NNPP 

is responsible for all aspects of U.S. 

Navy nuclear power and propulsion. 

These responsibilities include design, 

maintenance, and safe operation of 

nuclear propulsion systems throughout 

their operational life cycles. A crucial 

component of this mission is to provide 

prospective Naval nuclear propulsion 

plant operators and officers with 

training and certification in the actual 

hands-on operation of a nuclear 

propulsion plant. Two land-based 

training platforms are located at the 

Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory 

Kesselring Site near West Milton, 

Saratoga County, New York. 

The developed portion of the 

Kesselring Site consists of 

approximately 65 acres of land on an 

approximately 3900-acre reservation. 

Facilities on the site include three 

pressurized water naval nuclear 

propulsion plants, one of which has 

been permanently shut down, defueled, 

and is in the process of being 

dismantled. The site also contains 

administrative offices, machine shops, 

waste storage facilities, oil storage 

facilities, training facilities, chemistry 

laboratories, cooling towers and a boiler 

house. 

The NNPP proposes to construct a 

new radiological work and storage 

building to (1) Streamline radioactive 

material handling and storage 

operations, (2) permit demolition of 

aging facilities, and (3) accommodate 

efficient maintenance of existing 

operating nuclear reactors. Construction 

of a new facility is needed to ensure that 

the Kesselring Site continues to meet its 

mission to provide the Navy highly 

qualified personnel to operate its 

nuclear powered fleet of 11 aircraft 

carriers and 71 commissioned 

submarines in support of national 

defense. 

The NNPP proposes to construct a 

new facility within the existing 

developed area at the Kesselring Site. 

The proposed EA will address and 

evaluate the potential environmental 

impacts associated with operations in 

the new facility and demolition of 

existing aged radiological facilities at 

the Kesselring Site to provide space for 

the construction of a new facility. The 

NNPP proposes to evaluate three 

alternatives in the EA. These 

alternatives include: 

Alternative 1—Build a new 

radiological work and storage building 

at the Kesselring Site. 

Alternative 2—Build a temporary 

facility at the Kesselring Site. 

No Action Alternative—Continue to 

use the existing facilities at the 

Kesselring Site. 

The NNPP proposes to address the 

issues listed below when considering 

the potential environmental impacts of 

the proposed alternatives in the EA. 

This list is presented to facilitate public 

comment during the scoping period and 

is not intended to be comprehensive, or 

to imply any predetermination of 

impacts. Issues that will be addressed 

include: 

• Potential biological impacts; 

• Potential socioeconomic impacts/ 

environmental justice; 

• Potential impacts on water 

resources, including potential impacts 

on wetland areas; 

• Potential impacts on cultural 

resources; 

• Potential impacts to land use; 

• Potential human health effects; 

• Potential transportation impacts; 

• Potential impacts on air quality; 

• Potential impacts from waste 

management; 

• Potential cumulative impacts; 

• Compliance with applicable Federal 

and State regulations.

2011.
