                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 10, 2019, the President signed
                Executive Order (E.O.) 13891, ``Promoting the Rule of Law Through
                Improved Agency Guidance Documents,'' to support the principles that

                subject to binding rules and regulations that are lawfully promulgated
                and that there must be fair notice of any such obligations. As part of
                increasing transparency, section 3 of the E.O. requires agencies to
                publish their guidance documents, and certain information about them,
                on a single agency website. Accordingly, DoD has established the
                required guidance website at: https://open.defense.gov/Regulatory-Program/Guidance-Documents/. Existing guidance documents currently in
                effect are accessible through the site.

                Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
