RIN 0703–AA69

Rules Applicable to the Public

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule sets forth

amendments on the rules applicable to

the public. It is intended that this

amendment will apprise members of the

public of updated information on the

redelegated authority to grant written

permission to use the United States

Marine Corps emblem, names, or initials

and on changes to the mileage

allowances on rewards for the return of

Navy and Marine Corps absentees.

DATES: Effective October 19, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Office of the Judge

Advocate General (Code 13), 1322

Patterson Ave SE, Suite 3000,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Lieutenant Commander James L. Roth,

Legislation, FOIA/PA Branch,

the Judge Advocate General (Code 13),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the authority cited below, the

Department of the Navy amends 32 CFR

Part 765. As part of our annual review

of 32 CFR we identified a need to

update information found at Part 765

concerning mileage allowances as part

of the rewards for return of Navy and

Marine Corps absentees and on the

redelegated authority to grant written

authority to use the emblem, names, and

use of the United States Marine Corps.

This rule is being published by the

Department of the Navy for guidance

and interest of the public in accordance

with 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1). It has been

determined that invitation of public

comment on this amendment would be

impracticable and unnecessary, and it is

therefore not required under the public

rulemaking provisions of 32 CFR Part

336 or Secretary of the Navy Instruction

5720.45. Interested persons, however,

are invited to comment in writing on

this amendment. All written comments

received will be considered in making

subsequent amendments or revisions of

32 CFR Part 765, or the instructions on

which they are based. Changes may be

initiated on the basis of comments

received. Written comments should be

addressed to Lieutenant Commander

James L. Roth, JAGC, USN, Head,

Regulations and Legislation, FOIA/PA

Branch, Administrative Law Division,

Office of the Judge Advocate General

(Code 13), 1322 Patterson Ave SE, Suite

3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC

20374–5066. It has been determined that

this final rule is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ as defined in

Executive Order 12866.

Executive Order 13132, Federalism

It has been determined that this rule

does not have sufficient Federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment. The

provisions contained in this rule will

have little or no direct effect on States

or local governments.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

This rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities for purposes of

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.

Chapter 6).

Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule does not impose collection

of information requirements for

purposes of the Paperwork Reduction

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, 5 CFR Part

1320).

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 765
