32 CFR Part 728

[Docket ID: USN-2019-HQ-0002]
RIN 0703-AB09


Medical and Dental Care for Eligible Persons at Navy Department 
Facilities

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, Department of Defense.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the Department of the Navy (DON) 
regulation concerning Medical and Dental Care for Eligible Persons at 
Navy Department Facilities. Eligibility for healthcare in military 
medical treatment facilities is established in statute and other DoD 
regulations, therefore, this regulation is redundant and should be 
repealed.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Commander Lakesha Chieves at 703-693-
0238.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Code of Federal Regulations, title 32, 
subtitle A, chapter VI, subchapter C, part 728, ``Medical and Dental 
Care for Eligible Persons at Navy Medical Department Facilities'' is a 
Department of the Navy regulation prescribing the eligibility for 
medical and dental care in Navy Medical Treatment Facilities to 
specific eligible persons including active duty members of the 
uniformed services, their family members, members and family members of 
the Reserve Components of the uniformed services, retirees of the 
uniformed services and their family members, members of Foreign 
Military Services and their family members, beneficiaries of other 
Federal Agencies, and other persons deemed eligible for care. 
Eligibility for care in military medical treatment facilities is 
established in 10 U.S.C. 1071-1110b, 32 CFR part 199, ``Civilian Health 
and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS),'' and 32 CFR 
part 108, ``Health Care Eligibility Under the Secretarial Designee 
Program and Related Special Authorities.'' The rule at 32 CFR part 728 
is redundant and unnecessary. It has been determined that publication 
of this CFR part removal for public comment is impracticable and 
contrary to public interest since it is based upon removing redundant 
information.
    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 728
