    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    It has been determined that publication of this rule for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to public interest since it is based on the removal of obsolete information. Due to the disestablishment of the DNA and the eventual incorporation of its successor organization into DTRA, 32 CFR part 338 (last updated on December 10, 1991 at 56 FR 64482) is obsolete. Additionally, the public retains the ability to obtain information using established DoD Freedom of Information Act procedures outlined in 32 CFR part 286, “DoD Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Program,” by submitting a request to DTRA's FOIA Office at http://www.dtra.mil/​Home/​Freedom-of-Information-Act-and-Privacy-Act/​.

    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review,” therefore E.O. 13771, “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs” does not apply.
