SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The responsibility for this program was originally with the Department of the Army and was published as 32 CFR part 502. The program responsibility was transferred to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and is now covered by the DoD Directive 3025.1, Military Support to Civil Authorities (MSCA) which replaces the requirements formerly set forth. Therefore, to avoid confusion with the public, 32 CFR Part 502 is removed.
