FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

LTC Mark Rea at 703-695-9262.

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 publicly available on the Department's issuance website.

DoD internal guidance will continue to be published in Army Regulation 145-2, “Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps Program: Organization, Administration, Operation and Support,” available at https://armypubs.army.mil/ProductMaps/PubForm/AR.aspx.

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.
