Privacy Act of 1974; Implementation 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Defense, Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Direct final rule with request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The DoD is amending this 

part to remove the exemption rules 

associated with three systems of records 

notices (SORNs) established for the 

Department of the Air Force and two 

SORNs established for the Office of the 

Secretary of Defense under the Privacy 

Act of 1974, as amended. Elsewhere in 

this issue of the Federal Register, the 

DoD is giving concurrent notice of the 

rescindment of these same five SORNs 

as part of a notice rescinding numerous 

other SORNs. The DoD is also amending 

this part to remove an exemption rule 

associated with one SORN established 

for the Marine Corps that was 

previously rescinded by the DoD. This 

rule is being published as a direct final 

rule as the Department does not expect 

to receive any adverse comments. If 

such comments are received, this direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and a 

proposed rule for comments will be 

published. 

DATES: The rule is effective on 

September 6, 2022 unless comments are 

received that would result in a contrary 

determination. Comments will be 

accepted on or before August 26, 2022. 

If adverse comment is received, the 

Department will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number, Regulatory 

Identifier Number (RIN), and title, by 

any of the following methods.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Privacy Act Exemption 

The Privacy Act permits Federal 

agencies to exempt eligible records in a 

system of records from certain 

provisions of the Act, including the 

provisions providing individuals with a 

right to request access to and 

amendment of their own records and 

accountings of disclosures of such 

records. If an agency intends to exempt 

a particular system of records, it must 

first go through the rulemaking process 

to provide public notice and an 

opportunity to comment on the 

proposed exemptions. The rule explains 

why exemptions are being claimed for 

the associated system of records. During 

the rule-making process, the public are 

invited to comment, which DoD will 

consider before the issuance of a final 

rule implementing those exemptions. 

The final rules implementing 

exemptions for DoD systems of records 

are codified in DoD’s privacy regulation 

at 32 CFR part 310. 

When a system of records is no longer 

required to be collected or maintained, 

the system of records may be 

discontinued. The notice for that system 

of record is rescinded in the Federal 

Register, and the records covered by the 

rescinded system of records are lawfully 

transferred or disposed of in accordance 

with applicable requirements. At the 

time of rescindment or following 

rescindment for the system of records 

notice, Federal agencies will seek to also 

rescind the associated exemption rules 

within the Code of Federal Regulations. 

Direct Final Rulemaking 

This rule is being published as a 

direct final rule as the Department does 

not expect to receive any significant 

adverse comments. If such comments 

are received, this direct final rule will 

be withdrawn and a proposed rule for 

comments will be published. If no such 

comments are received, this direct final 

rule will become effective ten days after 

the comment period expires. 

For purposes of this rule, a significant 

adverse comment is one that explains 

(1) why the rule is inappropriate, 

including challenges to the rule’s 

underlying premise or approach; or (2) 

why the direct final rule will be 

ineffective or unacceptable without a 

change. In determining whether a 

significant adverse comment 

necessitates withdrawal of this direct 

final rule, the Department will consider 

whether the comment raises an issue 

that would have warranted a substantive 

response had it been submitted in 

response to a standard notice of a 

proposed rule. A comment 

recommending an addition to the rule 

will not be considered significant and 

adverse unless the comment explains 

how this direct final rule would be 

ineffective without the addition. 

The DoD is amending 32 CFR part 310 

by rescinding the following regulation 

provisions (in their entirety) due to the 

underlying SORNs being rescinded 

(concurrently by associated public 

notice) or having been previously 

rescinded through public notice:

identifier and name. F031 497IG A,

Regulatory Analysis 

Executive Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory 

Planning and Review’’ and Executive 

Order 13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation 

and Regulatory Review’’ 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distribute impacts, and equity). 

Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. It has been determined that 

this rule is not a significant regulatory 

action under these Executive orders. 

Congressional Review Act 

This rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Public Law 96–354, ‘‘Regulatory 

Flexibility Act’’ (5 U.S.C. Chapter 6) 

The Assistant to the Secretary of 

Defense for Privacy, Civil Liberties, and 

Transparency certified that this Privacy 

Act rule does not have significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities because this 

rule is concerned only with the 

administration of Privacy Act systems of 

records within the DoD. 

Public Law 96–511, ‘‘Paperwork 

Reduction Act’’ (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) 

It has been determined that this rule 

does not impose additional information 

collection requirements on the public 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Section 202, Public Law 104–4, 

‘‘Unfunded Mandates Reform Act’’ 

It has been determined that this rule 

does not involve a Federal mandate that 

may result in the expenditure by State, 

local and tribal governments, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector, of 

$100 million or more and that it will not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. 

Executive Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism’’ 

It has been determined that this rule 

does not have federalism implications. 

This rule does not have substantial 

direct effects on the States, on the 

relationship between the National 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

Executive Order 13175, ‘‘Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments’’ 

Executive Order 13175 establishes 

certain requirements that an agency 

must meet when it promulgates a rule 

that imposes substantial direct 

compliance costs on one or more Indian 

tribes, preempts tribal law, or affects the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. This rule 

will not have a substantial effect on 

Indian tribal governments.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain 

Chemical Substances (19–4.F) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new 

use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 

chemical substances which were the 

subject of premanufacture notices 

(PMNs). This action requires persons to 

notify EPA at least 90 days before 

commencing manufacture (defined by 

statute to include import) or processing 

of any of these chemical substances for 

an activity that is designated as a 

significant new use by this rule. This 

action further requires that persons not 

commence manufacture or processing 

for the significant new use until they 

have submitted a Significant New Use 

Notice (SNUN), and EPA has conducted 

a review of the notice, made an 

appropriate determination on the notice, 

and has taken any risk management 

actions as are required as a result of that 

determination. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

26, 2022. For purposes of judicial 

review, this rule shall be promulgated at 

1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on July 11, 2022.

entities through pre-existing import 

certification and export notification 

rules under TSCA. Chemical importers 

are subject to the TSCA section 13 (15
