DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

32 CFR Part 253

[Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0006]
RIN 0790-AK50


Assignment of American National Red Cross and United Service 
Organizations, Inc., Employees to Duty with the Military Services

AGENCY: Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes a DoD regulation which was originally 
established in 1983 for the purpose of determining the security 
acceptability of American Red Cross and United Service Organizations, 
Inc. personnel for assignment to duty overseas with the Military 
Services. It has not been updated since it was established, and 
contains outdated internal policy. Current policy and bilateral 
agreements between the Department and the organizations govern this 
process.

DATES: This rule is effective on November 13, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Freedman at 703-692-3724.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been determined that publication of 
this rule removal in the CFR for public comment is impracticable, 
unnecessary, and contrary to public interest since it is based on 
removing outdated internal information. Current policy will continue to 
be maintained in DoD Instruction 5200.08, ``Security of DoD 
Installations and Resources and the DoD Physical Security Review Board 
(PSRB)'' (available at https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/520008_2005_ch3.pdf), DoD Manual 5200.08 volume 3, 
``Physical Security Program: Access to DoD Installations'' (available 
at https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodm/520008_vol3.pdf); and bilateral agreements with the organizations 
involved. These USO/Red Cross individuals are only assigned overseas at 
the invitation of DoD, and the specifics of their eligibility should be 
established in the Memorandum of Understanding between DoD and the 
invited organizations.
    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.
