                DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
                Office of the Secretary
                32 CFR Part 324
                [Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0054]
                RIN 0790-AK70
                DFAS Privacy Act Program
                AGENCY: Defense Finance and Accounting Service, DoD.
                ACTION: Final rule.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the
                Defense Finance and Accounting Service Privacy Program. On April 11,
                2019, the Department of Defense published a revised DoD-level Privacy
                Program rule, which contains the necessary information for an agency-
                wide privacy program regulation under the Privacy Act and now serves as
                the single Privacy Program rule for the Department. That revised
                Privacy Program rule also includes all DoD component exemption rules.
                Therefore, the part concerning the Defense Finance and Accounting
                Service Privacy Program is now unnecessary and may be removed from the
                CFR.
                DATES: This rule is effective on November 20, 2019.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gregory Outlaw at 317-212-4591.
                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 DFAS Privacy Act
                Program regulation at 32 CFR part 324, last updated on May 22, 1996 (61
                FR 25561), 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 now reflected in another CFR part, 32 CFR part 310.
                 This rule is one of 20 separate component Privacy rules. With the
                finalization of the DoD-level Privacy rule at 32 CFR part 310, the
                Department eliminated the need for this component Privacy rule, thereby
                reducing costs to the public as explained in the preamble of the DoD-
                level Privacy rule published on April 11, 2019, at 84 FR 14728-14811.
                 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.

                 Privacy.
                PART 324--[REMOVED]
                 Accordingly, by the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 32 CFR part 324 is
                removed.
