well local organizations with full-time 

AmeriCorps*VISTA members are able to 

sustain projects over the long-term. This 

study will evaluate the contributions of 

VISTA in strengthening local 

organizations serving low-income 

communities and develop a tool that 

can serve as a foundation for additional 

studies in the future. Information will 

be collected over time on the relevant 

characteristics of 250 closed VISTA 

projects. Closed projects are defined as 

projects that no longer have active 

VISTAs, although they still may be 

continuing without VISTA support. The 

original goals and objectives of the 

projects will be identified, as well as 

how the goals may have evolved over 

time. The study will evaluate the extent 

to which closed projects have been able 

to achieve their goals and will develop 

a model that identifies the likelihood 

that ongoing projects will be sustained 

beyond their third year of programming, 

after the VISTA members are no longer 

present. The study will include 

telephone interviews of the 250 projects 

and site visits to 40 projects. 

Type of Review: New.

Community Service.

the U.S. Naval Academy Board of 

Visitors 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

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 meeting will include 

discussions of personnel issues at the 

Naval Academy, the disclosure of which 

would constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy. The 

executive session of this meeting will be 

closed to the public. 

DATES: The open session of the meeting 

will be held on Monday, September 22, 

2008, from 8 a.m. to 10:55 a.m. The 

closed Executive Session will be held 

from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in 

Russell Senate Office Building Room

Executive Secretary to the Board of 

Visitors, Office of the Superintendent, 

U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD 

21402–5000, telephone: 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 will consist of 

discussions of personnel issues at the 

Naval Academy and internal Board of 

Visitors matters. The proposed closed 

session from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. will 

include a discussion of new and 

pending courts-martial and state 

criminal proceedings involving the 

Midshipmen attending the Naval 

Academy to include an update on the 

pending/ongoing sexual assault cases, 

rape cases, etc. 

The proposed closed session from 11 

a.m. to 12 p.m. will include a discussion 

of new and pending administrative/ 

minor disciplinary infractions and 

nonjudicial punishments involving the 

Midshipmen attending the Naval 

Academy to include but not limited to 

individual honor/conduct violations 

within the Brigade. 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 it will be concerned with 

matters listed in section 552b(c) (5), (6), 

and (7) of title 5, United States Code.
