DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID: DOD-2016-OS-0096]
RIN 0790-AJ52


Management and Mobilization of Regular and Reserve Retired 
Military Members

AGENCY: Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

[[Page 72524]]

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the 
management and mobilization of regular and reserve retired military 
members. This rule does not create the DoD's authority to recall 
retired members, but it directs how DoD can deploy those members once 
recalled into active service. Accordingly, the codified rule deals with 
agency management/personnel, and has been determined to not require 
rulemaking. Alternatively, this rule is covered by the notice-and-
comment exception for military affairs, because the rule governs the 
uniquely military decision of how best to employ and deploy assets. 
Therefore, this CFR part can be removed.

DATES: This rule is effective on October 20, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Toppings at 571-372-0485.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Once signed, a copy of DoD's internal 
guidance contained in DoD Instruction 1352.01 will be made available on 
the DoD Directives Web site at https://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/135201p.pdf.
    It has been determined that publication of this CFR part removal 
for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to 
public interest since it is based on removing DoD internal policies and 
procedures that are publically available on the Department's issuance 
Web site.
    The removal of this rule will be reported in future status updates 
of DoD's retrospective review plan in accordance with the requirements 
in Executive Order 13563. DoD's full plan can be accessed at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=DOD-2011-OS-0036.
