This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), 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 that contains all the codified information required for the Department. Therefore, this part can be removed from the CFR.

AGENCY: Office of Inspector General, DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the Office 
of the Inspector General (OIG), 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 that contains all the codified information required for the 
Department. Therefore, this part can be removed from the CFR.

DATES: This rule is effective on August 20, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Dorgan at 703-604-9873.

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.
    OIG internal guidance concerning the implementation of the FOIA 
within OIG will continue to be published in Inspector General 
Instruction 5400.7 (available at http://www.dodig.mil/Portals/48/Documents/Policy/IGDINST%205400.7%20AIG-AM%20signed%204-16-10.pdf).
    This rule is one of 14 separate DoD FOIA rules. With the 
finalization of the DoD-level FOIA rule at 32 CFR part 286, the 
Department is eliminating the need for this separate FOIA rule and 
reducing costs to the public as explained in the preamble of the DoD-
level FOIA rule published at 83 FR 5196-5197.
    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.
