DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 217

[Docket ID: DOD-2020-OS-0059]
RIN 0790-AL02


Service Academies

AGENCY: Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness, Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulatory action removes this part from the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR), as information contained within this rule is 
an overview of policy and statute that provides guidance and direction 
to members of the DoD and not members of the public. Therefore, this 
rule can be removed from the CFR.

DATES: This rule is effective on September 10, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lt Col David Nuckles, (703) 695-5529.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule was added to the CFR on December 
31, 2015 (80 FR 81760-81767). This rule is redundant in that it 
established policy, assigned responsibilities, and prescribed 
procedures for members of the DoD on operation and oversight of the 
Military Service Academies, and does not regulate the public. Internal 
Departmental policies are current and reflective of these and other 
requirements in statute, and public

notification is not required. Information in 32 CFR part 217 is 
redundant to information publically available in 10 U.S.C. chapters 33, 
47, 61, 403, 603, 903; 10 U.S.C. 702 and 2005; 37 U.S.C. 303a; and DoD 
Instruction 1322.22, ``Service Academies.''
    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 internal policies and 
procedures that are publicly available on a Departmental website. A 
copy of the current DoD Instruction 1322.22, most recently updated on 
September 24, 2015, may be obtained at the following web address:  
https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/132222p.pdf.
    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review.'' Therefore, the requirements of E.O. 
13771, ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs,'' do not 
apply.
    This removal supports a recommendation of the DoD Regulatory Reform 
Task Force.
