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 
(1993).

Department of Defense.
