Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 317

[Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0039]
RIN 0790-AK63


DCAA Privacy Act Program

AGENCY: Defense Contract Audit Agency, DoD. ACTION: Final rule. 
SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the 
Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) 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 August 13, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Keith Mastromichalis, 571-448-3153.

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 DCAA Privacy Act 
Program regulation at 32 CFR part 317, last updated on March 10, 2015 
(80 FR 12559), 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 since it is based on the removal of policies and 
procedures that are either now reflected in another CFR part, 32 CFR 
310, or are publicly available on the Department's website. To the 
extent that DCAA internal guidance concerning the implementation of the 
Privacy Act within DCAA is necessary, it will continue to be published 
in ``The Privacy Act, an Employee Guide to Privacy,'' available at 
http://www.dcaa.mil/Content/Documents/Privacy_Act_Guide.pdf (March 1, 
2016).
    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.
