DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 77

[Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0024]
RIN 0790-AK44


Program To Encourage Public and Community Service (PACS)

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY:  This final rule removes the Department of Defense (DoD) 
regulation concerning a program to encourage public and community 
service by separating/retiring Service members, and DoD civilian 
personnel leaving the Government, and encourages spouses to enter 
public and community service employment. The authorizing legislation 
for this program has been repealed. Therefore, this part is outdated 
and unnecessary and should be removed.

DATES: This rule is effective on March 12, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald H. Horne, (703) 614-8631.

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 obsolete 
information.
    This part was originally published October 23, 1992, under 10 
U.S.C. 1143a, and established a program to identify and encourage 
public and community service to separating DoD service members and 
civilians within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The rule 
authorized DoD to counsel and create personnel registries for them to 
learn about community and public service employment prior to separation 
and retirement. It required public and community service organizations 
employers to register in an organizational registry to validate their 
eligibility. The Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act 
(Pub. L. 115-232), section 553 repealed this part's authorizing 
legislation.
    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review''; therefore, the requirements of E.O. 
13771, ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' do not 
apply.
