Department of Defense April 26, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Defense (DoD) is publishing this notice to announce that the following Federal advisory committee meeting of the Defense Innovation Board (DIB) will take place.

This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the Defense Security Service (DSS), formerly the Defense Investigative Service (DIS), Freedom of Information Act program. On February 6, 2018, the DoD published a revised FOIA program 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 at 32 CFR part 286 that contains all the codified information required for the Department. Therefore, this part can be removed from the CFR.
