                [Docket ID: DOD-2018-OS-0088]
                RIN 0790-AK24
                Recoupment of Nonrecurring Costs (NCs) on Sales of U.S. Items
                AGENCY: Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), DoD.
                ACTION: Final rule.
                -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                SUMMARY: This final rule removes the Department of Defense (DoD)
                regulation that paraphrases existing authorities under the Arms Export
                Control Act and describes internal procedures for calculating and
                assessing nonrecurring cost (NC) recoupments, for granting foreign
                government NC waiver requests, for the types of foreign military sales
                agreements covered, and for the offices authorized to waive NC
                recoupment. The corresponding internal procedures will continue to be
                made publicly available online.
                DATES: This rule is effective on August 19, 2019.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kellie Allison at 703-614-0410.
                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This removal supports a recommendation from
                the DoD Regulatory Reform Task Force. This rule was codified on May 24,
                2013 (78 FR 31400), and it was never updated. It has been determined
                that publication of this CFR part removal for public comment is
                unnecessary since it is based on removing DoD internal procedures and
                information which paraphrases law. DoD internal guidance on the
                recoupment of NCs under the Arms Export Control Act, Public Law 90-629,
                as amended, will continue to be published in DoD's Financial Management
                Regulation, Volume 15, Chapter 7 (updated in November 2018), available
                at https://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/documents/fmr/current/15/15_07.pdf.
                 This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866,
                ``Regulatory Planning and Review.'' Therefore the requirements of
                Executive Order 13771, ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
                Costs,'' do not apply.

                Accordingly, by the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 32 CFR part 165 is
                removed.
