DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
32 CFR Part 321
[Docket ID: DOD-2018-OS-0008]
RIN 0790-AK67
Defense Security Service Privacy Program
AGENCY: Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, DoD.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the
Defense Security Service (DSS) Privacy Program. The DSS organization's
name has been changed since codification to the Defense
Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA). Moving forward, this
agency will be referenced as DCSA. On April 11, 2019, the Department of
Defense published a revised DoD-level Privacy program, 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 June 24, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Stephanie J. Courtney, 571-305-
6740.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD now has a single DoD-level Privacy
Program rule at 32 CFR 310 (84 FR 14728) that contains all the codified
information required for the Department. The Defense
Counterintelligence and Security Privacy Act Program regulation at 32
CFR 321, last updated on September 14, 1999 (64 FR 49660), is no longer
required and may 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 removing DoD policies and
procedures that are either now reflected in another CFR part, 32 CFR
310, or are publically available on the Department's website. To the
extent that DCSA internal guidance concerning the implementation of the
Privacy Act within DCSA is necessary, it will be issued in an internal
document.
This rule is one of 20 separate DoD 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.
