DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
32 CFR Part 315
[Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0042]
RIN 0790-AK61
Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, Privacy Act of
1974
AGENCY: Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS),
Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the
Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences Privacy Program. On
April 11, 2019, the Department of Defense published a revised DoD-level
Privacy Program rule, which contains the necessary information for an
agency-wide Privacy Program regulation under the Privacy Act and now
serves as the single Privacy Program rule for the Department. That
revised Privacy Program rule also includes all DoD component exemption
rules. Therefore, this part is now unnecessary and may be removed from
the CFR.
DATES: This rule is effective on July 17, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Rimm, 301-295-1054.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD now has a single DoD-level Privacy
Program rule at 32 CFR part 310 (84 FR 14728) that contains all the
codified information required for the Department. The USUHS Privacy Act
Program regulation at 32 CFR part 315, last updated on November 14,
1991 (56 FR 57802), is no longer required and can be removed.
It has been determined that publication of this CFR part removal
for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to
public interest because it is based on the removal of policies and
procedures that are either now reflected in another CFR part, 32 CFR
part 310, or are publicly available on the Department's website. To the
extent that USUHS internal guidance concerning the implementation of
the Privacy Act within USUHS is necessary, it will continue to be
published in Instruction 7751, ``University Privacy Program,'' January
28, 2018 (available at https://www.usuhs.edu/oac/privacyact).
This rule is one of 20 separate component Privacy rules. With the
finalization of the DoD-level Privacy rule at 32 CFR part 310, the
Department eliminated the need for this component Privacy rule, thereby
reducing costs to the public as explained in the preamble of the DoD-
level Privacy rule published on April 11, 2019, at 84 FR 14728-14811.
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.
