[Docket ID: DOD-2017-OS-0052]
RIN 0790-AK04


Defense Support of Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies

AGENCY: Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the Department of Defense (DoD) 
regulation concerning defense support of civilian law enforcement 
agencies. This part establishes DoD policy, assigns responsibilities, 
and provides procedures to key DoD individuals who provide support to 
Federal, State, Tribal, and local civilian law enforcement agencies 
within the United States, including the District of Columbia, the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American 
Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and any 
territory or possession of the United

States or any other political subdivision thereof. Although civilian 
law enforcement agencies may request support from DoD, this part 
neither confers a benefit not otherwise provided for in statute nor 
imposes a burden on civilian law enforcement agencies. Therefore, this 
part may be removed from the CFR.

DATES: This rule is effective on April 5, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James (Coach) Ross at 571-256-8325.

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 publicly available on the 
Department's issuance website.
    DoD internal guidance concerning defense support of civilian law 
enforcement agencies will continue to be published in DoD Instruction 
3025.21, ``Defense Support of Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies,'' 
available at http://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/302521p.pdf.
    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' therefore, E.O. 13771, ``Reducing 
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' does not apply.
