DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 185

[Docket ID: DOD-2017-OS-0054]
RIN 0790-AK06


Defense Support of Civil Authorities

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 civil authorities. This part 
contains DoD policy and assigns responsibilities for Defense Support of 
Civil Authorities (DSCA). This part also authorizes immediate response 
authority for providing DSCA, when requested, and authorizes emergency 
authority for the use of military force, under dire situations. The 
content of the rule is internal to DoD and does not require 
codification. The part will be removed.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom Lacrosse at 571-256-8319.

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 special events 
will continue to be published in DoD Directive 3025.18, ``Defense 
Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA),'' available at http://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodd/302518p.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.
