Office of the Secretary November 23, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On May 18, 2011, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) published a Notice of Availability (NOA) in the Federal Register (76 FR 28757) announcing the revised Defense Logistics Agency Regulation (DLAR) 1000.22 implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. (NEPA) and Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508). The revised DLA regulation was available for a 30-day public comment period. DLA has incorporated the comment received from the Navy, and after a conformity review by the CEQ, DLA is adopting the revised regulation.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue a Department-wide system of records notice titled, ``Department of Homeland Security/ ALL017 General Legal Records System of Records.'' This system will assist attorneys in providing legal advice to the Department of Homeland Security on a wide variety of legal issues. As a result of the biennial review of this system, updates have been made to the routine uses within this notice and other administrative non-substantive changes. The subsections of the exemptions have been updated for accuracy and a new Notice of Proposed Rulemaking has been published. Until a new Final Rule is published, the Final Rule published on October 1, 2009 remains active and in place. This system will continue to be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.
