United States 

Navy Regulations 

and Official

The rule is primarily for the 

purpose of updating the CFR 

part to reflect changes within the 

Office of the Secretary of the 

Navy and other administrative 

edits. The changes to several 

sub-parts are primarily for 

informational purposes.

changes to policy and procedures

of the Navy

This rule is a revision of the 

current 32 CFR part 767. The

rule establishes a single 

permitting process for members 

of the public wishing to engage 

in activities on Department of 

Navy sunken and terrestrial 

military craft. The rule also 

incorporates provisions for a 

special-use permit to be issued in 

the case of minimally intrusive 

operations such as sample 

collection or remotely-operated 

vehicle documentation of 

historic sites. Also the rule 

outlines penalties and 

enforcement procedures.

1st quarter of 

FY2014

The rule provides an avenue for 

the public to access sites that are 

otherwise restricted from 

disturbance by the SMCA. Such 

access will allow research that 

can bring to light new 

information about the nation's 

maritime heritage and increase 

public knowledge of the US 

Navy's history and service.

Defining the 

Term “Waters of 

the United 

States”

The rule is expected to establish 

categories of waters and 

wetlands that are jurisdictional 

by rule; other categories of 

waters and wetlands will require 

a case-specific analysis and 

finding of Clean Water Act 

jurisdiction. By declaring certain 

categories of waters and 

wetlands to be jurisdictional by 

rule, there will be more certainty 

as to which activities require 

Department of Army permits. 

There will also be reduced 

delays for activities affecting 

those categories of waters and 

wetlands, since it will no longer 

be necessary to provide detailed 

case-specific documentation to 

determine Clean Water Act 

jurisdiction.

 TBD.

The rule will provide greater 

clarity to the regulated public 

regarding which waters are 

jurisdictional. Costs may be 

incurred by the Corps from 

additional workload efforts for 

any needed database changes, 

developing and providing 

training to field staff, and 

outreach to the regulated public 

and consultant community. 

TBD.

forth in the Defense Trade

requiring individual export 

control licenses within the

Permit Program

The Corps revised its 

Nationwide Permit Program 

regulations at 33 CFR Part 330 

to address changes in regulatory 

procedures and policy that have 

occurred since those regulations 

were last revised in 1991. The 

Corps revised the regulation to 

increase the pre-construction 

notification review period to 45

Only One Offer 

(DFARS Case 

2011-D013)

This rule amends the Defense 

Federal Acquisition Regulation 

Supplement to address 

acquisitions in which only one 

offer is received. The rule affects 

only those small entities that 

respond to a Federal competitive 

solicitation and no other offer is 

received. 

29 June 2012

Some savings should accrue to 

the Government in achieving 

better prices.

There is no significant economic 

impact on small entities. The 

impact of this rule on small 

business is expected to be 

predominantly positive, by 

allowing more opportunity for 

competition.

Defense Support 

of Civilian Law 

Enforcement 

Agencies

This rule provides specific 

policy direction and assigns 

responsibilities with respect to 

DoD support provided to 

Federal, State, and local civilian 

law enforcement agencies, 

including responses to civil 

disturbances.

The primary restriction on DoD 

participation in civilian law 

enforcement activities is the 

Posse Comitatus Act. In 

accordance with that Act, this 

rule describes in detail the 

assistance that DoD may and 

may not provide civilian law 

enforcement agencies.

13 May 2013

The DoD provides support to 

civilian law enforcement entities 

on either a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis depending on 

the authority under which the 

support is provided. State and 

local civilian law enforcement 

agencies benefit from DoD’s

substantial capabilities. 

Additionally, this rule provides 

details on assistance that DoD 

may not provide to civilian law 

enforcement agencies.

Agency Privacy 

Program

This rule amends DLA’s privacy 

program regulation due to the 

reorganization of the privacy 

office under the DLA General 

Counsel. Responsibilities were 

updated to reflect the 

reorganization and the adoption 

of current DoD-wide privacy 

guidance that includes collecting 

personal information, access by 

individuals, publication 

requirements, reports, 

inspections, matching program 

procedures, and enforcement 

actions. 

3 June 2013

This regulatory action imposes 

no monetary costs to the Agency 

or public. The benefit to the 

public is the accurate reflection 

of the Agency’s Privacy 

Program to ensure that policies 

and procedures are known to the 

public.

in more than 1,000 offices worldwide 

recruit the young men and women 

needed as both enlisted airmen and 

commissioned officers to meet the 

demands of the U.S. Air Force. Current 

forms will be linked to the Air Force 

Recruiting System and pre-populated 

from information stored within the 

system. The pre-population of forms 

will reduce the burden on applicants. 

Applicants will no longer have to 

provide information on multiple forms 

but will be asked to certify that prepopulated information is correct.
