DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Air Force
32 CFR Part 887
[Docket ID: USAF-2019-HQ-0004]
RIN 0701-AA90
Issuing of Certificates in Lieu of Lost or Destroyed Certificates
of Separation
AGENCY: Department of the Air Force, DoD.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule removes the Department of the Air Force's
regulation regarding the process for replacing lost or destroyed
separation documentation. Since the publication of this rule, the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has assumed control
of the records concerned and the document release process. The content
of this part is now addressed in a NARA regulation. Therefore, this
part is unnecessary and may be removed from the CFR.
DATES: This rule is effective on October 1, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maj Amanda J. Pelkowski, 318-484-6294.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule removes 32 CFR part 887,
``Issuing of Certificates in Lieu of Lost or Destroyed Certificates of
Separation,'' which was codified on January 14, 1988 (53 FR 876), and
never updated. It has been determined that publication of this
[[Page 51975]]
CFR part removal for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest since it is based on removing content which
is covered in the NARA regulation at 36 CFR part 1233, ``Transfer, Use,
and Disposition of Records in a NARA Federal Records Center,'' codified
on October 2, 2009 (74 FR 51014), and most recently updated on March
30, 2018 (83 FR 13655). Part 1233 outlines the requirement to fill out
a Standard Form 180, ``Request Pertaining to Military Records.'' NARA's
regulation also directs military veterans and their next of kin to its
website, which outlines procedures for requesting copies of military
records held by the Services as well as NARA (Source: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs).
To the extent that internal Air Force procedures concerning
military records are necessary, it will continue to be published in Air
Force Instruction 36-2608, ``Military Personnel Records System,'' which
was updated on October 26, 2015, and is available at http://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a1/publication/afi36-2608/afi36-2608.pdf.
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.
