SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The proposed rule was published on August 1, 1997, at 62 FR 41323.
No comments were received, therefore, the rule is being adopted as
published.
Executive Order 12866. It has been determined that this Privacy
Act rule for the Department of Defense does not constitute
``significant regulatory action'. Analysis of the rule indicates that
it does not have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or
more; does not create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere
with an action taken or planned by another agency; does not materially
alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan
programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; does not
raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the
President's priorities, or the principles set forth in Executive Order
12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. It has been determined that this
Privacy Act rule for the Department of Defense does not have
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
because it is concerned only with the administration of Privacy Act
systems of records within the Department of Defense.
Paperwork Reduction Act. It has been determined that this Privacy
Act rule for the Department of Defense imposes no information
requirements beyond the Department of Defense and that the information
collected within the Department of Defense is necessary and consistent
with 5 U.S.C. 552a, known as the Privacy Act, and 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 311

Authority: Pub.L. 93-579, 88 Stat 1896 (5 U.S.C. 552a).
2. Section 311.7, is amended by adding paragraphs (c)(11)(i)
through (c)(11)(iii) to read as follows:
Sec. 311.7 Procedures for exemptions.
* * * * *
(c) * * *
(11) System identifier and name: DUSP 11, POW/Missing Personnel
Office Files.
(i) Exemption: Information classified under E.O. 12958, as
implemented by DoD 5200.1-R, may be exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(1).
(ii) Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1).
(iii) Reasons: From subsection 5 U.S.C. 552a(d) because granting
access to information that is properly classified pursuant to E.O.
12958, as implemented by DoD 5200.1-R, may cause damage to the national
security.
