ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

The executive session of this meeting will consist of discussions of current and national and Naval strategies, plans, and policies as they relate to counter-piracy efforts from a U.S. Navy perspective, both as an independent entity and as a member of a coalition task force. The discussion of such information would be exempt from public disclosure as set forth in sections 552b(c)(5), (6), and (7) of title 5, United States Code. For this reason the executive session of this meeting will be closed to the public.

DATES:

The closed Executive Session will be held on March 11, 2009 from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.

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 this meeting will consist of discussions of current and national and Naval strategies, plans, and policies as they relate to counter-piracy efforts from a U.S. Navy perspective, both as an independent entity and as a member of a coalition task force. Discussion of such information cannot be adequately segregated from other topics, which precludes opening the executive session of this meeting.

Accordingly, the Secretary of the Navy has determined in writing that the public interest requires that all sessions of this meeting be closed to the public because it will be concerned with matters listed in sections 552b(c)(5), 6, and (7) of title 5, United States Code.

Dated: February 13, 2009.

A.M. Vallandingham,

Lieutenant Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, Federal Register Liaison Officer.
