32 CFR PART 85
[Docket ID: DOD-2019-OS-0111]
RIN 0790-AK25
Health Promotion
AGENCY: Department of Defense.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule removes an unnecessary and outdated Department
of Defense (DoD) rule relating to a health promotion program. The
majority of the content of this part includes internal DoD policy,
which does not require rulemaking. Additionally, since this rule was
codified, the General Services Administration (GSA) issued a rule that
superseded the public-facing content of this part. Therefore, this part
can be removed from the CFR.
DATES: This rule is effective on February 28, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This final rule removes an unnecessary and outdated Department of
Defense (DoD) regulation on a health promotion program, which was last
updated August 30, 1988 (53 FR 33123). The DoD program continues to
operate under the existing internal policies, the General Services
Administration (GSA) has since issued a rule that superseded the
public-facing content of this part.
Internal policies are available in DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1010.10,
``Health Promotion and Disease Prevention'' (available at: https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/101010p.PDF?ver=2018-01-12-113645-193). It is a general practice and
goal of DoD to provide healthy environments for Service members,
medical beneficiaries, civilian DoD employees, and visitors on military
installations.
The rule also sets forth an outdated smoking policy on DoD
property. However, since codification of this part, GSA issued a rule
at title 41 CFR part 102-74, ``Facility Management'' (70 FR 67798, Nov.
8, 2005), which regulates smoking policies for the executive branch of
the government and superseded this part.
Part 85 should now be removed as its content is either internal or
obsolete. This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.)
12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' therefore, the requirements
of E.O. 13771, ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs''
do not apply.
