DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 316

[Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0047]
RIN 0790-AK62


Defense Information Systems Agency Privacy Program

AGENCY: Defense Information Systems Agency, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes the Department of Defense (DoD) 
regulation concerning the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) 
Privacy Program. On April 11, 2019, DoD 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, part 316 is now unnecessary and may be removed from 
the CFR.

DATES: This rule is effective on October 1, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeanette Weathers-Jenkins, 301-225-
8158.

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 DISA Privacy Act 
Program regulation at 32 CFR part 316, last updated on February 20, 
1992 (57 FR 6074), 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 because 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 DISA internal guidance concerning the implementation of the 
Privacy Act within DISA is necessary, it will be issued in an internal 
document.
    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.
