DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 320

[Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0082]
RIN 0790-AK66


National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Privacy Program

AGENCY: National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the 
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) 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 July 6, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terrance Reeves, 571-558-7641.

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. NGA Program 
regulation at 32 CFR part 320, last updated on January 14, 2004 (69 FR 
2066), 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 NGA internal guidance concerning the implementation of the 
Privacy Act within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency 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 is eliminating the need for this separate component Privacy 
rules and reducing costs to the public as explained in the preamble of 
the DoD-level Privacy rule published at 84 FR 14728.
    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.
