This final rule reflects administrative changes as a result of DOD reorganization. The rule also provides guidance to DOD on implementation of the amended law.
Mr. D. Maier, 703-697-1160.
It has been determined that 32 CFR part 285 is not a significant regulatory action. The rule does not:
(4) Raise novel legacy or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in this Executive Order.
It has been certified that 32 CFR part 285 does not contain 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 in any one year.
It has been determined that this rule is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601) because it would not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule implements the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), a statute concerning the release of Federal Government records, and does not economically impact Federal Government relations with the private sector.
It has been certified that 32 CFR part 285 does not impose any reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 44)

(b) Continues to authorize, consistent with 5 U.S.C. 552, the publication of 32 CFR part 286, the single DOD Regulation on the FOIA Program.
3. Section 285.3 is amended by revising paragraph (e) to read as follows:

4. Section 285.4 is amended by revising paragraph (a), removing paragraph (a)(4), redesignating paragraphs (b) and (c) as paragraphs (c) and (d), adding a new paragraph (b), and revising newly redesignated (d)(1) as follows:

(b) The Director, Administration and Management shall, as the designee of the Secretary of Defense, serve as the sole appellate authority for appeals to decisions of respective Initial Denial Authorities within OSD, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Combatant Commands, and the DOD Field Activities.
