DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 204

[Docket ID: DOD-2018-OS-0044]
RIN 0790-AK45


User Fees

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation that provides 
instructions to DoD Components on establishing appropriate fees for 
authorized services supplied by DoD organizations when such services 
provide special benefits to an identifiable recipient beyond those that 
accrue to the general public. User fees paid by the public represent 
either the full cost to the DoD, or the market value of providing the 
service, resource, or good. The regulation is unnecessary because it 
restates current law; sets forth internal policy and procedures; and 
conveys to the public administrative and procedural information that 
does not require rulemaking. Therefore, this rule is unnecessary and 
can be removed from the CFR.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kellie Allison at 703-614-0410.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 
guidance that is not required to be codified and is publicly available 
on the Department's website. DoD guidance will continue to be published 
in DoD 7000.14-R, Financial Management Regulation, Volume 11A, Chapter 
4, ``User Fees'' available at https://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/documents/fmr/current/11a/11a_04.pdf.
    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.
    This removal supports a recommendation of the DoD Regulatory Reform 
Task Force.
