DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 319

[Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0040]
RIN 0790-AK65


Defense Intelligence Agency Privacy Program

AGENCY: Defense Intelligence Agency, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the 
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) 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

[[Page 40117]]

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 6, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Schmidli, 202-231-6895.

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 DIA Privacy Act 
Program regulation at 32 CFR part 319, last updated on November 20, 
2013 (78 FR 69551), 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 
310, or are publicly available on the Department's website. To the 
extent that DIA internal guidance concerning the implementation of the 
Privacy Act within DIA is necessary, it will continue to be published 
in Defense Intelligence Agency Instruction 5400.001, Privacy and Civil 
Liberties Program, http://www.dia.mil/FOIA/FOIA-Electronic-Reading-Room/FileId/216384/ (May 19, 2014).
    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.
