Department of the Army
32 CFR Part 505
[Docket ID: USA-2019-HQ-0021]
RIN 0702-AB03
The Army Privacy Program
AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the
Department of the Army's Privacy Program. On April 11, 2019, DoD
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
[[Page 46682]]
includes all DoD component exemption rules. Therefore, the regulation
is now unnecessary and may be removed from the CFR.
DATES: This rule is effective on September 5, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tracy Rogers at 571-515-0248.
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 Department of the
Army Privacy Act Program regulation at 32 CFR part 505 is no longer
required and may 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 either now reflected in another CFR part, 32 CFR
part 310, or are publically available on the Army's website. To the
extent that Army internal guidance concerning the implementation of the
Privacy Act within the Army is necessary, it will continue to be
published in Army Regulation 25-22 (available at https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/pdf/web/ARN13587_R25_22_FINAL.pdf).
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.
