The executive session of the meeting from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
on June 1st, 2020, will consist of discussions of new and pending
administrative or minor disciplinary infractions and non-
[[Page 26674]]
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, the
executive session 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 executive session of this
meeting to the public. Accordingly, the (Acting) Secretary of the Navy,
in consultation with the Department of the Navy General Counsel, has
determined in writing that the meeting shall be partially closed to the
public because the discussions during the executive session from 11
a.m. to noon (12 p.m.) will be concerned with matters protected under
sections 552b(c) (5), (6), and (7) of title 5, United States Code.
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552b.
Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to FACA and 41 CFR 102-3.140, this
meeting is virtually open to the public. This meeting will be
broadcasted live from the United States Naval Academy to include audio
and video. The broadcast will be close captioned for the duration of
the public portion of the meeting. The link to view the meeting will be
posted at https://www.usna.edu/PAO/Superintendent/bov.php forty-eight
hours prior to the meeting. Due to expected health directives in light
of COVID-19, the public cannot be accommodated to attend the meeting in
person.
Written Statements: Per Section 10(a)(3) of the FACA and 41 CFR
102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140, interested persons may submit a written
statement for consideration at any time, but should be received by the
Designated Federal Officer a least 15 business days prior to the
meeting date so that the comments may be made available to the Board
for their consideration prior to the meeting. Written statements should
be submitted via mail to 121 Blake Rd, Annapolis MD 21402. Please note
that since the Board operates under the provisions of the FACA, as
amended, all submitted comments and public presentations will be
treated as public documents and will be made available for public
inspection, including, but not limited to, being posted on the board
website.
Dated: April 28, 2020.
