Department of Defense May 7, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, announces a proposed public information collection and seeks public comment on the provisions thereof. Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

This final rule removes the DoD regulation concerning indebtedness of members of the Armed Forces. The rule provides internal DoD policies and assigns responsibilities governing delinquent indebtedness of members of the military services. This rule is unnecessary and imposes no burden on, nor imparts any relevant knowledge on, the public. The rule contains internal DoD processes only and is wholly contained DoD internal guidance. Therefore, this part can be removed from the CFR.
