DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 205

[Docket ID: DOD-2017-OS-0004]
RIN 0790-AJ05


End Use Certificates (EUCs)

AGENCY: Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the 
signing of EUCs required by foreign governments for foreign defense 
items purchased by the United States. DoD has determined that this part 
does not place a burden on the public as it deals with matters internal 
to DoD. DoD signs end use certificates (following internal coordination 
and approval) at the behest of a foreign country, when DoD is buying 
products from that country. Therefore, this part is unnecessary and can 
be removed from the CFR.

DATES: This rule is effective on January 12, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Kay at 703-693-0909.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 website. Once signed, a copy of DoD's internal 
guidance contained in DoD Directive 2040.03 will be made available at 
http://www.esd.whs.mil/Directives/issuances/dodd/.
    This rule is being removed from the CFR because it does not place a 
burden on the public as it deals with matters internal to DoD. As a 
direct result of there being no burden on the public, there was never 
was a cost to the public to execute this rule, therefore, removing it 
does not provide a cost savings to the public.
