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.

**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.

Dated: April 23, 2014. N. A. Hagerty-Ford, Commander, Office of the Judge Advocate General, U.S. Navy, Federal Register Liaison Officer.
