Office of the Secretary October 2, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This rule proposed to update responsibilities and procedures to define and reestablish a framework for non-Federal entities (NFEs) (previously called private organizations) authorized to operate on DoD installations. Requires heads of DoD Components to conduct periodic reviews of facilities, programs, services, and membership provisions of NFEs operating on DoD installations and authorizes installation commanders or higher authority to determine if an NFE detracts from DoD programs and to eliminate duplication. Identifies those NFEs having statutory authorization for particular support and restates DoD policy on sponsorship of NFEs by DoD personnel acting in an official capacity, specifically as it applies to chartering Boy Scout organizations authorized to operate on DoD installations.

The Office of the Secretary of Defense is amending two systems of records notices in its existing inventory of record systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended.
