DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Navy

32 CFR Part 765

RIN 0703-AA69


Rules Applicable to the Public

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule sets forth amendments on the rules applicable to the 
public. It is intended that this amendment will apprise members of the 
public of updated information on the redelegated authority to grant 
written permission to use the United States Marine Corps emblem, names, 
or initials and on changes to the mileage allowances on rewards for the 
return of Navy and Marine Corps absentees.

DATES: Effective October 19, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Office of the Judge Advocate General (Code 13), 1322 
Patterson Ave SE, Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374-5066.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Commander James L. Roth, 
JAGC, USN, Head, Regulations and Legislation, FOIA/PA Branch, 
Administrative Law Division, Office of the Judge Advocate General (Code 
13), 1322 Patterson Ave SE, Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374-
5066, (703) 604-8200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority cited below, the 
Department of the Navy amends 32 CFR Part 765. As part of our annual 
review of 32 CFR we identified a need to update information found at 
Part 765 concerning mileage allowances as part of the rewards for 
return of Navy and Marine Corps absentees and on the redelegated 
authority to grant written authority to use the emblem, names, and use 
of the United States Marine Corps. This rule is being published by the 
Department of the Navy for guidance and interest of the public in 
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1). It has been determined that 
invitation of public comment on this amendment would be impracticable 
and unnecessary, and it is therefore not required under the public 
rulemaking provisions of 32 CFR Part 336 or Secretary of the Navy 
Instruction 5720.45. Interested persons, however, are invited to 
comment in writing on this amendment. All written comments received 
will be considered in making subsequent amendments or revisions of 32 
CFR Part 765, or the instructions on which they are based. Changes may 
be initiated on the basis of comments received. Written comments should 
be addressed to Lieutenant Commander James L. Roth, JAGC, USN, Head, 
Regulations and Legislation, FOIA/PA Branch, Administrative Law 
Division, Office of the Judge Advocate General (Code 13), 1322 
Patterson Ave SE, Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374-5066. It 
has been determined that this final rule is not a ``significant 
regulatory action'' as defined in Executive Order 12866.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    It has been determined that this rule does not have sufficient 
Federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism 
Assessment. The provisions contained in this rule will have little or 
no direct effect on States or local governments.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities for purposes of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. Chapter 6).

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose collection of information requirements 
for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 5 
CFR Part 1320).

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 765

    Reward, Seals and insignia.

    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the Department of the 
Navy amends 32 CFR Part 765 as follows:
