DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Defense Support of Special Events 

AGENCY: Under Secretary of Defense 

(Policy), Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: DoD capabilities may be used 

to provide support for special events if 

authorized by law and DoD policy. DoD 

resources in support of special events 

may be provided only after the 

resources of all other relevant 

governmental and non-governmental 

entities are determined not to be 

available, unless there is a statutory 

exception or the Department of Defense 

is the only source of specialized 

capabilities. Organizations eligible to 

request DoD support, including for 

special events, may request support by 

writing to the DoD Executive Secretary. 

ADDRESSES: DoD Executive Secretary, 

1000 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 

20301–1000. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Carol Corbin at 571–256–8319. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 32 

CFR part 183, Defense Support of 

Special Events, established procedures 

and assigned responsibilities for special 

events and set forth procedural 

guidance for the execution of special 

events support when requested by 

qualifying entities and approved by the 

appropriate DoD authority, or as 

directed by the President, within the 

United States. This notice informs the 

public of pertinent information 

concerning the submission of requests 

for special event support in lieu of part 

183. DoD has determined that 32 CFR 

part 183 can be repealed as it mostly 

contains internal DoD procedures. The 

final rule that removes 32 CFR part 183 

is publishing elsewhere in this issue of 

the Federal Register. 

A special event is an international or 

domestic event, contest, activity, or 

meeting, which by its very nature, or by 

specific statutory or regulatory 

authority, may warrant security, safety, 

and other logistical support or 

assistance from DoD. Event status is not 

determined by DoD, and support may be 

requested by either civil authorities or 

qualifying entities. 

A qualifying entity is a nongovernmental organization to which 

DoD may provide assistance by virtue of 

statute. DoD support of qualifying 

entities for special events is pursuant to 

10 U.S.C. 2012, 2553–2555, and 2564; 

32 U.S.C. 508; and section 5802 of 

Public Law 104–208, as amended. 

The Office of the Assistant Secretary 

of Defense for Homeland Defense and 

Global Security will consult with Heads 

of DoD Components to obtain seniorlevel coordination of recommendations 

for Secretary of Defense approval of 

requests for support. 

The requestor of this support agrees to 

reimburse DoD, in accordance with the 

provisions of 10 U.S.C. 277, 2553–2555, 

and 2564, 31 U.S.C. 1535–1536, and 

other applicable provisions of law, 

unless DoD receives appropriations for 

or is authorized to make funds available 

for the support requested. 

Dated: August 20, 2018.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison 

Officer, Department of Defense.
