members, the return of the findings,
presentencing proceedings, and posttrial sessions, if any, except as otherwise
provided by this rule. Attendance at
these proceedings shall constitute the
accused’s appointed place of duty and,
with respect to the accused’s travel
allowances, none of these proceedings
shall constitute disciplinary action. This
does not in any way limit authority to
implement restriction, up to and
including confinement, as necessary in
accordance with R.C.M. 304 or R.C.M.
305.’’
e. A comment was received proposing
changes to R.C.M. 703 and R.C.M. 405
to incorporate Fed. R. Crim. Proc. 17
which was created in 2008 to comply
with the requirements of the Federal
Crime Victims’ Rights Act, (‘‘FCVRA’’),
codified at 18 U.S.C. 3771. The JSC has
adopted this proposal in part as follows:
—R.C.M. 703(g)(3)(C)(2) is new and
reads as follows:
‘‘(2) Subpoenas for personal or
confidential information about a victim.
After preferral, a subpoena requiring the
production of personal or confidential
information about a victim named in a
specification may be served on an
individual or organization by those
authorized to issue a subpoena under
subparagraph (D) or with the consent of
the victim. Before issuing a subpoena
under this subparagraph and unless
there are exceptional circumstances, the
victim must be given notice so that the
victim can move for relief under
subparagraph (g)(3)(G) or otherwise
object.’’
f. A comment was received suggesting
the addition of a new M.R.E. 501(e)
limiting the Government to privileges
identified in M.R.E. 505, 506, and 507.
These suggested changes were not
incorporated; however, the JSC
reviewed M.R.E. 505, 506, and 507 and
made the following proposed change to
M.R.E. 506.
—M.R.E. 506(b) is amended to read as
follows:
‘‘(b) Scope. ‘‘Government
information’’ includes official
communication and documents and
other information within the custody or
control of the Federal Government. This
rule does not apply to the identity of an
informant (Mil. R. Evid. 507).’’
g. Comments concerning the proposed
changes to M.R.E. 412(c)(3) were
received. The JSC considered all
comments. As prescribed by the
President, upon the effective date of the
Executive Order, M.R.E. 412(c)(3) will
provide:
‘‘(3) If the military judge determines
on the basis of the hearing described in
paragraph (2) of this subdivision that
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
the evidence that the accused seeks to
offer is relevant for a purpose under
subdivision (b)(1) or (2) of this rule and
that the probative value of such
evidence outweighs the danger of unfair
prejudice to the victim’s privacy, or that
the evidence is described by subdivision
(b)(3) of this rule, such evidence shall be
admissible under this rule to the extent
an order made by the military judge
specifies evidence that may be offered
and areas with respect to which the
victim may be examined or crossexamined. Any evidence introduced
under this rule is subject to challenge
under Mil. R. Evid. 403.’’
h. Comments were received
suggesting additional changes to, R.C.M.
1103A in Annex 1 and R.C.M. 103, 110,
305, 405, 701, 705, 809, 910, 1109, 1114,
1202 in Annex 2. These suggested
changes were not incorporated.
i. Comments suggesting changes to
M.R.E. 505 were received. Suggested
changes were not incorporated.
j. Comments were received suggesting
the addition of new punitive articles,
elimination of certain defenses, and
changes to the terminal element of
Article 134. These suggested changes
were not incorporated.
