Final rule. AGENCY: ACTION: This final rule removes DoD’s regulation concerning the Defense Logistics Agency Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) program. On February 6, 2018, the DoD published a FOIA program final rule as a result of the FOIA Improvement Act of 2016. When the DoD FOIA program rule was revised, it included DoD component information and removed the requirement for component supplementary rules. The DoD now has one DoD-level rule for the FOIA program that contains all the codified information required for the Department. Therefore, this part can be removed from the CFR. DATES: This rule is effective on September 18, 2018. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lewis Oleinick at 571–767–6194. 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 based on removing DoD internal policies and procedures. DLA internal guidance concerning the implementation of the FOIA within DLA will be published in DLA Instruction (DLAI) 5400.11. This rule is one of 14 separate DoD FOIA rules.
