Information caption to read:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 
U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), the General Services Administration's

    The executive session of the meeting from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on 
December 7, 2020, will consist of discussions of new and pending 
administrative or minor disciplinary infractions and non-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 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 11:30 
a.m. to 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 at least 10 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: November 19, 2020.
