SUMMARY: Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 9355, the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA)
Board of Visitors (BoV) will meet in the Russell Senate Office
Building, Room 236, Washington, DC, on 20 November 2008. The meeting
session will begin at 9 a.m. The purpose of this meeting is to review
morale and discipline, social climate, curriculum, instruction,
physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters
relating to the Academy.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the
Department of Defense has determined that a portion of this meeting
shall be closed to the public. The Administrative Assistant to the
Secretary of the Air Force, in consultation with the Office of the Air
Force General Counsel, has determined in writing that the public
interest requires that one portion of this meeting be closed to the
public because it will involve matters covered by subsection (c)(6) of
5 U.S.C. 552b.
Public attendance at the open portions of this USAFA BoV meeting
shall be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis up to the
reasonable and safe capacity of the meeting room. In addition, any
member of the public wishing to provide input to the USAFA BoV should
submit a written statement in accordance with 41 CFR 102-3.140(c) and
section 10(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and the
procedures described in this paragraph. Written statements must address
the following details: The issue, discussion, and a recommended course
of action. Supporting documentation may also be included as needed to
establish the appropriate historical context and provide any necessary
background information. Written statements can be submitted to the
Designated Federal Officer (DFO) at the Air Force Pentagon address
detailed below at any time. However, if a written statement is not
received at least 10 days before the first day of the meeting which is
the subject of this notice, then it may not be provided to, or
considered by, the BoV until its next open meeting. The DFO will review
all timely submissions with the BoV Chairperson and ensure they are
provided to members of the BoV before the meeting that is the subject
of this notice. For the benefit of the public, rosters that list the
names of BoV members and any releasable materials presented during open
portions of this BoV meeting shall be made available upon request.
If, after review of timely submitted written comments, the BoV
Chairperson and DFO deem appropriate, they may choose to invite the
submitter of the written comments to orally present their issue during
an open portion of the BoV meeting that is the subject of this notice.
Members of the BoV may also petition the Chairperson to allow specific
persons to make oral presentations before the BoV. Any oral
presentations before the BoV shall be in accordance with 41 CFR 102-
3.140(c), section 10(a)(3) of the FACA, and this paragraph. The DFO and
BoV Chairperson may, if desired, allot a specific amount of time for
members of the public to present their issues for BoV review and
discussion. Direct questioning of BoV members or meeting participants
by the public is not permitted except with the approval of the DFO and
Chairperson.
