AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOD.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Office of the
Secretary of Defense (OSD) exempts a system of records, DFM&P 26,
entitled Vietnamese Commandos Compensation Files, from certain
provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552a. Exemption is needed to comply with the
prohibition against disclosure of properly classified portions of this
record system.
DATES: Effective: August 25, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Bosworth at (703) 695-0970.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The proposed rule was published on June 25, 1997, at 62 FR 34187.
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.
The proposed rule was published on June 25, 1997, at 62 FR 34187.
No comments were received, therefore, the rule is being adopted as
published.
