DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 199


Double Coverage

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This technical amendment is being published to correct an 
error that was codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in 
2003. A paragraph was inadvertently duplicated in 2003 and is now being 
removed.

DATES: This technical amendment is effective May 4, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Toppings, 571-372-0485.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 30, 2003 (68 FR 23030-23034), the 
Department of Defense published a final rule titled ``TRICARE Program; 
Eligibility and Payment Procedures for Civilian Health and Medical 
Program of the Uniformed Services Beneficiaries Age 65 and Over,'' 
which amended 32 CFR part 199.
    On page 23032, an amendatory instruction requested to amend Sec.  
199.8 by ``redesignating paragraph (c)(5) as (c)(6) and the second 
paragraph (c)(4) as (c)(5).''
    The wording of this amendatory instruction led to a codification 
error which is still present in the CFR.
    In 32 CFR 199.8, paragraphs (c)(5) and (c)(6) contain identical 
text. Only one of the paragraphs should remain in the CFR. Therefore, 
DoD is publishing this technical amendment to remove paragraph (c)(6) 
from 32 CFR 199.8.
    It has been determined that publication of this CFR amendment for 
public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to public 
interest since it is correcting a technical error.
    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 199

    Claims, Dental health, Health care, Health insurance, Individuals 
with disabilities, Mental health, Mental health parity, Military 
personnel.

    Accordingly, 32 CFR part 199 is amended as follows:
