32 CFR Part 733

[Docket ID: USN-2017-HQ-0006]
RIN 0703-AA96


Assistance to and Support of Dependents; Paternity Complaints

AGENCY: Department of the Navy (DoN), DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation requiring naval 
personnel to provide support to dependents. It has been determined that 
the content of this part is internal DoD policy, and while that policy 
is publicly available, the part should be removed.

DATES: This rule is effective on May 17, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: CDR Amanda Myers, 703-697-1311.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been determined that publication of 
this CFR part removal for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, 
and contrary to public interest since it is based on removing DoD 
internal policies and procedures that are publically available on the 
Department's website.
    This part is proprietary or of unique interest to the Department of 
the Navy. The Military Personnel Manual (MILPERSMAN) (for the Navy) 
(available at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/milpersman/pages/default.aspx) and the Marine Corps Manual for Legal 
Administration (LEGADMINMAN) (for the Marine Corps) (available at 
http://www.marines.mil/Portals/59/MCOP5800.16AWCH1-7.pdf) are readily 
available online and used by commands as administrative tools to 
determine equitable support when there is no competent court order. 
There is no right afforded to the public (specifically, dependents) 
either by statute or internal service regulation. The MILPERSMAN and 
LEGADMINMAN are clear that the guidelines contained therein are tools 
that a commander may use to ensure good order and discipline within the 
unit. For these reasons, this part has been determined to be internal 
DoD policy and as such, it does not fall under the criteria of 
rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act.
    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' therefore, E.O. 13771, ``Reducing 
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' does not apply.
