protected. The clause at DFARS 

252.239–7000, Protection Against 

Compromising Emanations, requires 

that the contractor provide, upon 

request of the contracting officer, 

documentation that information 

technology used or provided under the 

contract meets appropriate information 

assurance requirements. 

The requirement at DFARS 239.7408, 

which requires the contracting officer to 

obtain a detailed special construction 

proposal from a common carrier that 

submits a proposal or quotation that has 

special construction requirements 

related to the performance of basic 

telecommunications services, is being 

removed from this collection. 

Approximately three offerors are 

required to submit a special 

construction proposal each year, which 

does not require OMB approval under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act because it 

does not meet the threshold of ten or 

more members of the public being 

affected within any 12-month period.

The closed meeting from 11 a.m. to 12

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 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 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
