DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 327

[Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0080]
RIN 0790-AK72


Defense Commissary Agency Privacy Act Program

AGENCY: Defense Commissary Agency, Defense Department (DoD).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the 
Defense Commissary Agency Privacy Act Program. On April 11, 2019, the 
Department of Defense published a revised DoD-level Privacy Program 
rule, which implements the Privacy Act and establishes an agency-wide 
privacy program that 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 
should be removed from the CFR.

DATES: This rule is effective on September 17, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ralph J. Tremaglio, Senior Agency 
Official for Privacy at 804-734-8000, Ext. 48116.

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 Defense 
Commissary Agency Privacy Act Program regulation at 32 CFR part 327, 
last updated on June 28, 2000 (65 FR 39806), 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 since it is based on the removal of policies and 
procedures that are either now reflected in another CFR part, 32 CFR 
part 310, or are publicly available on the Department's website. The 
Defense Commissary Agency will publish any future internal policy 
implementing the Privacy Act in DeCA Directive 80-21, ``Defense 
Commissary Agency Privacy Program,'' April 15, 2010 (available at 
https://onenet.commissaries.com/documents/browse-documents?documenttype=57).
    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 is eliminating separate component

Privacy Act programs 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.
