1503, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#d7b6b1bea3adb0b2a597a2a4b9b6f9b2b3a2"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a5c4c3ccd1dfc2c0d7e5d0d6cbc48bc0c1d0">[email protected]</span></a>, or visit https://www.usna.edu/PAO/Superintendent/bov.php.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 
United States Code (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 (GSA) Federal Advisory Committee Management 
Final Rule (41 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 102-3). Due to 
circumstances beyond the control of the Designated Federal Officer, the 
United States Naval Academy Board of Visitors was unable to provide 
public notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its 
September 18, 2023 meeting. Accordingly, the Advisory Committee 
Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 
102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day notification requirement.
    Purpose of Meeting: The U.S. Naval Academy Board of Visitors will 
meet to make such inquiry, as the Board deems necessary, into the state 
of morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical 
equipment, fiscal affairs, and academic methods of the Naval Academy.

Agenda

    Proposed meeting agenda for September 18, 2023.
0900 Call to Order (Open to Public)
0900-1055 Open Meeting (Open to Public)
1055-1100 Break (Open to Public)
1100-1200 Closed Meeting (Closed to Public)
    Current details on the board of visitors may be found at https://www.usna.edu/PAO/Superintendent/bov.php.
    The closed meeting from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on September 18, 
2023, 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, a portion of the 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. 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 closed meeting 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, U.S.C.
    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 3 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 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 may be treated 
as public documents and may be made available for public inspection, 
including, but not limited to, being posted on the board website.

    Dated: September 8, 2023.
J.E. Koningisor,
Lieutenant Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, 
Federal Register Liaison Officer.
