ACTION: Interpretive rule. AGENCY: The Department of Defense (Department) is amending its interpretive rule for the Military Lending Act (the MLA). The MLA, as implemented by the Department, limits the military annual percentage rate (MAPR) that a creditor may charge to a SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 maximum of 36 percent, requires certain disclosures, and provides other substantive consumer protections on ‘‘consumer credit’’ extended to Service members and their families. On July 22, 2015, the Department amended its regulation primarily for the purpose of extending the protections of the MLA to a broader range of closed-end and openend credit products (the July 2015 Final Rule). On August 26, 2016, the Department issued the first set of interpretations of that regulation in the form of questions and answers. On December 14, 2017, the Department issued a second set of interpretations of that regulation in the form of amended questions and answers. The Department is now withdrawing the amended question and answer number 2 (Q&A #2), published in the December 14, 2017 Interpretive Rule, which discussed when credit is extended for the purpose of purchasing a motor vehicle or personal property and the creditor simultaneously extends credit in an amount greater than the purchase price of the motor vehicle or personal property. In withdrawing this amended question and answer, the Department is reverting back to the original Q&A #2 published in the August 26, 2016 Interpretive Rule. This will allow the Department to conduct additional analysis on this matter. The Department is also adding a new question and answer to address questions about the use of Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers to identify covered borrowers in the Department’s database.

Background and Purpose In July 2015, the Department of Defense (Department) issued a final rule 1 (July 2015 Final Rule) amending its regulation implementing the Military Lending Act (MLA) 2 primarily for the purpose of extending the protections of the MLA to a broader range of closedend and open-end credit products, rather than the limited credit products that had been defined as ‘‘consumer credit.’’ 3 Among other amendments, the July 2015 Final Rule modified provisions relating to the optional mechanism a creditor may use when assessing whether a consumer is a ‘‘covered borrower,’’ modified the 1 80 FR 43560 (July 22, 2015).

Health Promotion

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This final rule removes an unnecessary and outdated Department 
of Defense (DoD) rule relating to a health promotion program. The 
majority of the content of this part includes internal DoD policy, 
which does not require rulemaking. Additionally, since this rule was 
codified, the General Services Administration (GSA) issued a rule that 
superseded the public-facing content of this part. Therefore, this part 
can be removed from the CFR.

DATES: This rule is effective on February 28, 2020.

Phone: (703) 681-1705.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    This final rule removes an unnecessary and outdated Department of 
Defense (DoD) regulation on a health promotion program, which was last 
updated August 30, 1988 (53 FR 33123). The DoD program continues to 
operate under the existing internal policies, the General Services 
Administration (GSA) has since issued a rule that superseded the 
public-facing content of this part.
    Internal policies are available in DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1010.10, 
``Health Promotion and Disease Prevention'' (available at: https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/101010p.PDF?ver=2018-01-12-113645-193). It is a general practice and 
goal of DoD to provide healthy environments for Service members, 
medical beneficiaries, civilian DoD employees, and visitors on military 
installations.
    The rule also sets forth an outdated smoking policy on DoD 
property. However, since codification of this part, GSA issued a rule 
at title 41 CFR part 102-74, ``Facility Management'' (70 FR 67798, Nov. 
8, 2005), which regulates smoking policies for the executive branch of 
the government and superseded this part.
    Part 85 should now be removed as its content is either internal or 
obsolete. This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 
12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' therefore, the requirements 
of E.O. 13771, ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' 
do not apply.
