Appendix D 

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES 

Extraordinary circumstances that may 

preclude the use of a CE include: 

(a) Reasonable likelihood of significant 

impact on public health or safety. 

(b) Reasonable likelihood of significant 

environmental effects (direct, indirect, and 

cumulative) 

(c) Reasonable likelihood of effects on the 

environment that are highly uncertain, 

unique, or are scientifically controversial. 

(d) Reasonable likelihood of violating any 

federal, state, or local law or requirements 

imposed for the protection of the 

environment. 

(e) Reasonable likelihood of adversely 

affecting ‘‘environmentally sensitive’’ 

resources, unless the impact has been 

resolved through another environmental 

process (e.g., Coastal Zone Management Act, 

Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act). 

Environmentally sensitive resources may 

include: 

1. Proposed or federally listed threatened 

or endangered species, or their designated 

critical habitat (including species and habitat 

listed under the Endangered Species Act of 

1973 (16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq.); Migratory 

Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (16 U.S.C. § 703 et 

seq.) and Bald and Golden Eagle Act of 1940, 

(16 U.S.C. § 668 et seq.). 

2. Areas having special designation or 

recognition such as prime or unique or 

agricultural lands; designated wilderness or 

wilderness study areas; wild and scenic 

rivers; 100-year or 500-year floodplains; 

wetlands; sole source aquifers (potential 

sources of drinking water); National Wildlife 

Refuges; National Parks; areas of critical 

environmental concern; or other areas of high 

environmental sensitivity. 

(f) Reasonable likelihood of adversely 

impacting water quality, sole source aquifers, 

public water supply systems, or state, local, 

or tribal water quality standards established 

under the Clean Water Act and the Safe 

Drinking Water Act. 

(g) Reasonable likelihood of effects on the 

quality of the environment that are highly 

controversial on environmental grounds. The 

term ‘‘controversial’’ means a substantial 

dispute exists as to the size, nature, or effect 

of the proposed action rather than to the 

existence of opposition to a proposed action, 

the effect of which is relatively undisputed. 

(h) Reasonable likelihood of a 

disproportionately high and adverse effect on 

low income populations or minority 

populations. 

(i) Limited access to and ceremonial use of 

Indian sacred sites on federal lands by Indian 

religious practitioners or significantly 

adversely affect the physical integrity of such 

sacred sites. 

(j) A greater scope or size than is normal 

for this category of action. 

(k) Reasonable likelihood of degrading 

already existing poor environmental 

conditions. Also, initiation of a degrading 

influence, activity, or effect in areas not 

already significantly modified from their 

natural condition. 

(l) Introduction or employment of 

unproven technology.

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 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 

on June 9, 2014, will include new and 

pending administrative/minor 

disciplinary infractions and non-judicial 

punishments involving the Midshipmen 

attending the U.S. Naval Academy to 

include but not limited to individual 

honor/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. 

DATES: The open session of the meeting 

will be held on June 9, 2014, from 8:30 

a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The closed session of 

this meeting will be the executive 

session held from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 

p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in 

Alumni Hall at the United States Naval 

Academy in Annapolis Maryland. The 

meeting will be handicap accessible. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lieutenant Commander Matt Cady, 

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 11:00 a.m. 

to 12:00 p.m. on June 9, 2014, will 

include new and pending 

administrative/minor disciplinary 

infractions and non-judicial 

punishments involving the Midshipmen 

attending the U.S. Naval Academy to 

include but not limited to individual 

honor/conduct violations within the 

Brigade. 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 11:00 a.m. to 

12:00 p.m. will be concerned with 

matters coming under sections 552b(c) 

(5), (6), and (7) of Title 5, United States 

Code.
