SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Executive Order 12866

It has been determined that this

Privacy Act rule for the Department of

Defense does not constitute ‘significant

regulatory action.’ Analysis of the rule

indicates that it does not have an annual

effect on the economy of $100 million

or more; does not create a serious

inconsistency or otherwise interfere

with an action taken or planned by

another agency; does not materially alter

the budgetary impact of entitlements,

grants, user fees, or loan programs or the

rights and obligations of recipients

thereof; does not raise novel legal or

policy issues arising out of legal

mandates, the President’s priorities, or

the principles set forth in Executive

Order 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

It has been determined that this

Privacy Act rule for the Department of

Defense does not have significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities because it is

concerned only with the administration

of Privacy Act systems of records within

the Department of Defense.

Paperwork Reduction Act

It has been determined that this

Privacy Act rule for the Department of

Defense imposes no information

requirements beyond the Department of

Defense and that the information

collected within the Department of

Defense is necessary and consistent

with 5 U.S.C. 552a, known as the

Privacy Act, and 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 311

BILLING CODE 5001–10–M

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Air Force

32 CFR Part 935

RIN 0701–AA65

Wake Island Code

AGENCY: Department of the Air Force,

DoD.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Department of the Air

Force proposes to revise the Wake

Island Code. The current Wake Island

Code was promulgated in 1972 when

the Air Force had a significant military

and civilian presence on the island. In

1994, the Air Force terminated

operations on the island and removed

its personnel. The small number of

personnel currently on the island work

for the Department of the Army or its

contractors. It is not anticipated that

Wake Island will again host a large

permanent population. Because of the

change in use and the passage of time,

it is necessary to revise and update the

Code to reflect current and anticipated

use. The public is invited to submit

comments on these changes to the point

of contact listed below.

DATES: Submit comments on or before

December 26, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Address all comments

concerning this proposed rule to Mr.

Philip Sheuerman, Associate General

Counsel, Department of the Air Force,

SAF/GCN, Room 4C921, 1740 Air Force

Pentagon, Washington, DC 20330–1740.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

Philip Sheuerman, 703–695–4691.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

action is authorized by Sec. 48, Act of

12 July 1960, 74 Stat. 424, Pub. L. 86–

624; E.O. 11048, Sept. 1, 1962, 27 FR

8851; agreement between the

Department of Interior and Department

of the Air Force, dated June 19, 1972, 37

FR 12255; and Secretary of the Air Force

Order 111.1, dated April 26, 1999.

Wake Island, including Peale and

Wilkes Islands, is a possession of the

United States. It is owned by the United

States and is currently under the real

property accountability of the

Department of the Air Force. Wake

Island does not have any aboriginal

population and has been occupied

intermittently since its accession to the

United States by United States military

and civilian personnel (excluding the

period of Japanese occupation during

World War II). The Air Force assumed

jurisdiction and control from the

Federal Aviation Administration in

1972 and operated an air base there
