    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    This part was originally published 15 May 1997 under the National Defense Authorization Act of FY 1997 and established the Vietnam Commandos Compensation Commission within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The rule authorized a claims process for compensation of Vietnamese operatives who served in certain U.S.-led operations, were captured, and incarcerated in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The claim period expired 15 May 2000; payments were completed by July 2001; and, the commission was disbanded.

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