and Deregulatory Actions 

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense 

(DoD) is publishing this semiannual 

agenda of regulatory documents, 

including those that are procurementrelated, for public information and 

comments under Executive Order 12866 

‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review.’’ 

This agenda incorporates the objective 

and criteria, when applicable, of the 

regulatory reform program under the 

Executive Order and other regulatory 

guidance. It contains DoD issuances 

initiated by DoD components that may 

have economic and environmental 

impact on State, local, or tribal interests 

under the criteria of Executive Order 

12866. Although most DoD issuances 

listed in the agenda are of limited public 

impact, their nature may be of public 

interest and, therefore, are published to 

provide notice of rulemaking and an 

opportunity for public participation in 

the internal DoD rulemaking process. 

Members of the public may submit 

comments on individual proposed and 

interim final rulemakings at 

www.regulations.gov during the 

comment period that follows 

publication in the Federal Register. 

This agenda updates the report 

published on January 7, 2014, and 

includes regulations expected to be 

issued and under review over the next 

12 months. The next agenda is 

scheduled to be published in the fall of 

2014. In addition to this agenda, DoD 

components also publish rulemaking 

notices pertaining to their specific 

statutory administration requirements as 

required. 

Starting with the fall 2007 edition, the 

Internet became the basic means for 

disseminating the Unified Agenda. The 

complete Unified Agenda will be 

available online at www.reginfo.gov, in 

a format that offers users the ability to 

obtain information from the Agenda 

database. 

Because publication in the Federal 

Register is mandated for the regulatory 

flexibility agendas required by the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

602), the Department of Defense’s 

printed agenda entries include only: 

(1) Rules that are in the Agency’s 

regulatory flexibility agenda, in 

accordance with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, because they are likely 

to have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities; and 

(2) any rules that the Agency has 

identified for periodic review under 

section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act. 

Printing of these entries is limited to 

fields that contain information required 

by the Regulatory Flexibility Act’s 

agenda requirements. Additional 

information on these entries is in the 

Unified Agenda available online.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

edition of the Unified Agenda of Federal 

Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions is 

composed of the regulatory status 

reports, including procurement-related 

regulatory status reports, from the Office 

of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and 

the Departments of the Army and Navy. 

Included also is the regulatory status 

report from the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, whose civil works functions 

fall under the reporting requirements of 

Executive Order 12866 and involve 

water resource projects and regulation 

of activities in waters of the United 

States. 

DoD issuances range from DoD 

directives (reflecting departmental 

policy) to implementing instructions 

and regulations (largely internal and 

used to implement directives). The OSD 

agenda section contains the primary 

directives under which DoD 

components promulgate their 

implementing regulations. 

In addition, this agenda, although 

published under the reporting 

requirements of Executive Order 12866, 

continues to be the DoD single-source 

reporting vehicle, which identifies 

issuances that are currently applicable 

under the various regulatory reform 

programs in progress. Therefore, DoD 

components will identify those rules 

which come under the criteria of the: 

a. Regulatory Flexibility Act; 

b. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 

c. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995. 

Those DoD issuances, which are 

directly applicable under these statutes, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS5

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 114 / Friday, June 13, 2014 / Unified Agenda 34041 

will be identified in the agenda and 

their action status indicated. Generally, 

the regulatory status reports in this 

agenda will contain five sections: (1) 

Prerule stage; (2) proposed rule stage; (3) 

final rule stage; (4) completed actions; 

and (5) long-term actions. Where certain 

regulatory actions indicate that small 

entities are affected, the effect on these 

entities may not necessarily have 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of these entities as 

defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601(6)). 

Although not a regulatory agency, 

DoD will continue to participate in 

regulatory initiatives designed to reduce 

economic costs and unnecessary 

burdens upon the public. Comments 

and recommendations are invited on the 

rules reported and should be addressed 

to the DoD component representatives 

identified in the regulatory status 

reports. Although sensitive to the needs 

of the public, as well as regulatory 

reform, DoD reserves the right to 

exercise the exemptions and flexibility 

permitted in its rulemaking process in 

order to proceed with its overall 

defense-oriented mission. The 

publishing of this agenda does not 

waive the applicability of the military 

affairs exemption in section 553 of title 

5 U.S.C. and section 3 of Executive 

Order 12866.

(DFARS Case 2011–D039) 

Legal Authority: 41 U.S.C. 1303; Pub. 

L. 112–239 

Abstract: DoD issued an interim rule 

to amend the Defense Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement 

(DFARS) to add a DFARS subpart and 

associated contract clauses to address 

requirements for the safeguarding of 

unclassified information within 

contractor information systems as 

specified in Executive Order 13556, 

Controlled Unclassified Information. 

DoD published an advance notice of 

proposed rulemaking (ANPR), and 

notice of public meeting in the Federal 

Register at 75 FR 9563 on March 3, 

2010, to provide the public an 

opportunity for input into the initial 

rulemaking process. A proposed DFARS 

rule was published in the Federal 

Register at 76 FR 38089 on June 29, 

2011, to implement adequate security 

measures to safeguard unclassified DoD 

information within contractor 

information systems from unauthorized 

access and disclosure, and to prescribe 

reporting to DoD with regard to certain 

cyber intrusion events that affect DoD 

information resident on or transiting 

through contractor unclassified 

information systems. After comments 

were received on the proposed rule it 

was decided that the scope of the rule 

would be modified to reduce the 

information covered. This rule 

addresses safeguarding requirements 

that cover only unclassified controlled 

technical information, and reporting the 

compromise of unclassified controlled 

technical information. DoD anticipates 

this rule may have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities.
