Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

This action removes 32 CFR Part 501, Employment of Troops in Aid of Civil Authorities. The regulations are being removed because they are obsolete and no longer govern policies for the Department of the Army in planning and operations involving the use of Army resources in the control of actual or anticipated civil disturbances. The program responsibility has been transferred to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense.

DATES:

Effective April 30, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The responsibility for this program was originally with the Department of the Army and was published as 32 CFR Part 501. The program responsibility was transferred to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and is now covered by DoD Directive 3025.12, Employment of Military Resources in the Event of Civil Disturbances which replaces the requirements formerly set forth. Therefore, to avoid confusion with the public, 32 CFR Part 501 is removed.
