SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This rule, first published on February 6, 1976 (41 FR 5389), “establishes policies and procedures and assigns responsibilities to the President of the University and the Secretaries of the Military Departments for the selection of entrants to the School of Medicine of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.” Part 242 was amended once on July 28, 1989, in 54 FR 31335 to make administrative ( printed page 70749) changes and to raise the admission age from 32 to 34 for students who have served on active duty. The rule is outdated, contains internal guidance, reiterates statutory requirements (10 U.S.C. 2101, et seq.), and is otherwise subject to the military function exemption to rulemaking.

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 publicly available in DoD Instruction 5105.45, “Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU),” most recently updated on May 30, 2019, at https://www.esd.whs.mil/​Portals/​54/​Documents/​DD/​issuances/​dodi/​510545p.pdf?​ver=​2019-05-30-074128-497. This rule is not significant under Executive Order 12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review.”

Accordingly, by the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 32 CFR part 242 is removed.
