Rules and Regulations. Final rule

Agency: Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), DoD
Action: Final rule
Citation: FR Doc. 2019-06479 · RIN 0790-AJ98 · Docket ID: DOD-2017-OS-0045 · 32 CFR 54

Summary

This final rule removes DoD's regulation that relates to allotments for child and spousal support because it duplicates DoD's internal policy on statutorily required child or child and spousal support allotments that cover members of the Military Services on extended active duty. This internal policy is located in the DoD Financial Management Regulation, Volume 7A, Chapter 41 “Garnishments and Other Involuntary Allotments.”

Dates

This rule is effective on April 3, 2019.

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 internal policies and procedures that are publically available on the Department's website. DoD internal guidance will continue to be published in DoD's Financial Management Regulation, Volume 7A, Chapter 41, available at http://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/documents/fmr/archive/07aarch/07a_41_Dec10.pdf. Removal of this part does not reduce burden or costs to the public as it will not change how notification is provided under Volume 7A, Chapter 41. This rule is not significant, therefore the requirements of Executive Order 13771, “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs,” do not apply.

PART 54—[REMOVED] Accordingly, by the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 32 CFR part 54 is removed. Dated: March 29, 2019. Shelly E. Finke, Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense. [FR Doc. 2019-06479 Filed 4-2-19; 8:45 am]
