clearance expires on March 31, 2007. 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of

performance of functions of the FAR, 

and whether it will have practical 

utility; whether our estimate of the 

public burden of this collection of 

information is accurate, and based on 

valid assumptions and methodology; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be

will be held on Monday, March 5, 2007, 

from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The closed

the meeting will consist of discussions 

of personnel issues at the Naval

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 it will be concerned 

with matters listed in section 552b(c)(2), 

(5), (6), (7), and (9) of title 5, United 

States Code.
