DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
[Docket ID: DOD–2019–OS–0012]
Voluntary State Tax Withholding From
Retired Pay
Office of the Under Secretary of
Defense (Comptroller), DoD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
It is the policy of the
Uniformed Services to accept written
requests from current and former
members for voluntary State income tax
withholding from monthly retired or
retainer pay when the Department has
an agreement for such withholding with
the State named in the request. Rather
than an unnecessary part in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this notice
provides administrative-type
information to those members and
States interested in applying for or
engaging in this tax withholding
arrangement.
SUMMARY:
This action is applicable on
November 14, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kellie Allison at 703–614–0410.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 32
CFR part 78, ‘‘Voluntary State Tax
Withholding from Retired Pay,’’ set
forth DoD’s policies and procedures on
the voluntary state income tax
withholding from the monthly retired or
retainer pay of a member or former
member of the Uniformed Services. DoD
published a direct final rule to remove
32 CFR part 78 elsewhere in this issue
of the Federal Register that will become
effective 30 days from publication
unless significant adverse comment is
received which would result in a
contrary determination. Should DoD
receive a significant adverse comment,
the Department will withdraw both
direct final rule and this notice by
publishing another notice in the Federal
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES

Register. It was determined that part 78
was unnecessary because it restated
current law, 10 U.S.C. 1045; set forth
internal policy and procedures; and
conveyed to the public administrative
and procedural information that does
not require rulemaking. Instead, this
notice informs the public of pertinent
administrative information concerning
the request for state tax withholding in
lieu of part 78.
A retiree may request voluntary State
income tax withholding from their
retired or retainer pay. The withholding
amount requested must be in a whole
dollar amount and at least $10, or the
state’s minimum, if that amount is
higher.
To efficiently and accurately
implement the request, it should
include the member’s full name,
signature, Social Security number, the
fixed amount withheld monthly from
retired pay, the state designated to
receive the withholding, and the
member’s current address. The retiree
may submit the request by sending a
completed DoD Form 2656, ‘‘Data for
Payment of Retired Personnel’’ (only
sections I and VII of the form need to
be completed), a letter, an email, or fax
to the U.S. Military Retired Pay office,
or submit the request through the
member’s myPay account. If using
myPay, the member’s signature is not
required. In the case of incompetence,
the member’s guardian or trustee must
sign the request.
Current guidance, including the
addresses and other information for the
U.S. Military Retired Pay offices can be
found in the DoD Financial
Management Regulation, Volume 7B,
Chapter 26, ‘‘State Taxes,’’ that is
available at https://
comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/
documents/fmr/current/07b/07b_26.pdf
(most recently updated in July 2018).
A State requesting an agreement for
the voluntary withholding of State tax
from the retired pay of members of the
Uniformed Services shall address a
letter to the Director, Defense Finance
and Accounting Service, 1931 Jefferson
Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22240.
The Department of Defense shall enter
into a Standard Agreement within 120
days of a request for agreement from the
proper State official. This agreement
shall provide that the Uniformed
Services shall withhold State income
tax from the monthly retired pay of any
member who voluntarily requests such
withholding in writing. In the Standard
Agreement, States are allowed to
terminate the Agreement within 45 days
of any amendment, modification,
supplement, or change to the
procedures for withholding.

States shall indicate, in writing,
agreement to follow the provisions of
the DoD FMR, Volume 7B, Chapter 26.
If a State proposes an agreement that
varies from the Standard Agreement, the
State shall indicate, in writing, to the
Director, Defense Finance and
Accounting Service which provisions of
the Standard Agreement are not
acceptable and propose substitute
provisions.
To be effective, the letter must be
signed by a State official authorized to
bind the State under an agreement for
tax withholding. Copies of applicable
State laws that authorize employers to
withhold State income tax and
authorize the official to bind the State
under an agreement for tax withholding
shall be enclosed with the letter. The
letter also shall indicate the title and
address of the official whom the
Uniformed Services may contact to
obtain information necessary for
implementing withholding.
Within 120 days of the receipt of a
letter from a State, the Director, Defense
Finance and Accounting Service, or
designee, will notify the State, in
writing, that DoD has either entered into
the Standard Agreement or that an
agreement cannot be entered into with
the State and the reasons for that
determination.

conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) to follow a
nationally representative sample of
students as they enter and move through

mathematics and literacy along with
measures of student socioemotional
wellbeing and other outcomes. The
study includes students with disabilities
for whom descriptive information on
their outcomes, educational
experiences, and special education
services are being collected. The
MGLS:2017 Main Study (MS) Base Year
(MS1) data collection took place from

ACTION:
Notice of application.
ENMAX Energy Marketing
Inc. (Applicant or ENMAX) has applied
to renew its authorization to transmit
electric energy from the United States to
Canada pursuant to the Federal Power
Act.
SUMMARY:
Comments, protests, or motions
to intervene must be submitted on or
before November 14, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Comments, protests,
motions to intervene, or requests for
more information should be addressed
to: Office of Electricity, Mail Code: OE–
20, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000
Independence Avenue SW, Washington,
DC 20585–0350. Because of delays in
handling conventional mail, it is
recommended that documents be
transmitted by overnight mail, by
electronic mail to Electricity.Exports@
hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to (202) 586–
8008.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Energy (DOE) regulates
exports of electricity from the United
States to a foreign country, pursuant to
sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the
Department of Energy Organization Act
(42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)). Such
exports require authorization under
section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act
(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
On October 8, 2014, DOE issued
Order No. EA–264–C, which authorized
ENMAX to transmit electric energy from
the United States to Canada as a power
marketer for a five-year term using
existing international transmission
facilities. That authorization expires on
October 8, 2019. On September 30,
2019, ENMAX filed an application with
DOE for renewal of the export
authorization contained in Order No.
EA–264–C for an additional five-year
term.
The application states that ‘‘ENMAX
and its affiliates have no franchised
service territory in the United States,
nor do they own or control generation
or transmission assets in the United
States.’’ The electric energy that the
Applicant proposes to export to Canada
would be purchased from third parties,
such as Canadian utilities, power
marketers and end-use customers,
pursuant to voluntary agreements. The
existing international transmission
facilities to be utilized by the Applicant
have previously been authorized by
Presidential permits issued pursuant to
Executive Order 10485, as amended,
and are appropriate for open access
transmission by third parties.

desiring to be heard in this proceeding
should file a comment or protest to the
