                Department of the Navy
                32 CFR Part 744

                Policies and Procedures for the Protection of Proprietary Rights
                in Technical Information Proposed for Release to Foreign Governments
                AGENCY: Department of the Navy, Department of Defense (DoD).
                ACTION: Final rule.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: This final rule removes the Navy regulation on the Policies
                and Procedures for the Protection of Proprietary Rights in Technical
                Information Proposed for Release to
                [[Page 9446]]
                Foreign Governments because its content is duplicative of a DoD-level
                regulation. The rule is redundant and unnecessary. Therefore, this rule
                can be removed from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
                DATES: This rule is effective on February 22, 2022.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Captain Bruce Gragert, United States
                Navy, 2000 Navy Pentagon, Room 4B654, Washington, DC 20350-2000,
                telephone: 703-692-5310.
                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 removing a duplicative rule
                memorialized elsewhere in the CFR. The rule provides guidance to
                Department of the Navy entities on the same delegation of authority
                captured in 32 CFR 264.4(d)(3). It does not add or subtract
                requirements beyond those already established.
                 This rule is not significant under Executive Order 12866,
                ``Regulatory Planning and Review.''

                PART 744--[REMOVED]
                 Accordingly, by the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 32 CFR part 744 is
                removed.
