Examples of eligible colleges and universities include The Citadel and Virginia Military Institute where students wear a uniform prescribed by the institution instead of Service-specific uniforms.

DATES:

This rule is effective on February 28, 2019.

LTCOL Naomi Y. Henigin, 703-695-5529.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

It has been determined that publication of this CFR part removal for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to public interest since it is based on removing DoD internal policies and procedures that are publicly available on the Department's issuance website. DoD internal guidance concerning subsistence and commutation to members of Senior ROTC programs located at eligible colleges and universities will continue to be published in DoD Instruction 1215.08, “Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) Programs,” available at https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/121508p.pdf?ver=2019-01-29-121836-737.

This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, “Regulatory Planning and Review,” therefore, E.O. 13771, “Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs” does not apply.
