32 CFR Part 718

[Docket ID: USN-2018-HQ-0020]
RIN 0703-AB07


Missing Persons Act

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the DoD regulation on the Missing 
Persons Act because its content is internal to DoD. The corresponding 
internal guidance document has been updated since this rule was last 
amended, and it is publicly available. The rule is outdated and 
unnecessary.

DATES: This rule is effective on March 26, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Strebel at 
703-693-0696.

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and contrary to public interest since it is removing outdated internal 
information. The rule provides guidance to Department of the Navy 
entities on implementation and compliance with the Missing Persons Act. 
It does not add requirements beyond those established in Title 37 
U.S.C. Chapter 10, ``Payments to Missing Persons'' (sections 551-559). 
The corresponding internal implementation guidance is

publicly available in DoD Issuance 2310.05, ``Accounting for Missing 
Persons--Boards of Inquiry,'' at https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/231005p.pdf.
    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.
