32 CFR Part 734

[Docket ID: USN-2017-HQ-0007]
RIN 0703-AA97


Garnishment of Pay of Naval Military and Civilian Personnel for 
Collection of Child Support and Alimony

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the DoD's regulation concerning 
garnishment of pay of Naval military and civilian personnel and 
collection of child support and alimony. It has been determined that 
this rule is duplicative of 5 CFR part 581, ``Processing Garnishment 
Orders for Child Support and/or Alimony.'' Therefore, this rule can be 
removed from the CFR.

DATES: This rule is effective on April 16, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: CDR Amanda Myers, 703-697-1311.

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 a 
duplicative CFR part.
    Both 5 CFR part 581 and 32 CFR part 734 derive their authority from 
42 U.S.C. 659, and 5 CFR part 581 encompasses entirely the language 
found in 32 CFR part 734. Furthermore, 5 CFR part 581 is a more 
thorough regulation; for example, 5 CFR part 581 contains a definitions 
section and a provision identifying which moneys are subject to 
garnishment.
    Garnishment operations and their underlying processes will remain 
unaffected by this regulatory action. In addition, no requirement for 
paperwork or procedures are set forth in 32 CFR part 734 that are not 
covered in 5 CFR part 581.
    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.

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 734
