2016-21254. Professional U.S. Scouting Organization Operations at U.S. Military Installations Overseas; Technical Amendment

AGENCY:

Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, DoD.

ACTION:

Final rule; technical amendment.

SUMMARY:

On January 25, 2016, the Department of Defense published a final rule, 81 FR 3959-3962, titled Professional U.S. Scouting Organization Operations at U.S. Military Installations Overseas. DoD is making a technical amendment due to the discovery of a mistake regarding the use of nonappropriated funds. A paragraph in the final rule incorrectly stated nonappropriated funds cannot be used to reimburse salaries and benefits of qualified scouting organization employees. Nonappropriated funds may be used to reimburse salaries and benefits of employees of qualified scouting organizations for periods during which their professional scouting employees perform services in overseas areas in direct support of DoD personnel and their families.

DATES:

This rule is effective September 7, 2016.
