Improving Government Regulations; Unified Agenda of Federal
Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions
AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Semiannual Regulatory Agenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This agenda announces the regulatory actions the Department of
Defense (DoD) plans to take in the next 12 months and those regulatory
actions completed since the publication of the Fall 2023 Unified
Agenda. It was developed under the guidelines of Executive Order 12866,
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' as amended by Executive Order
14094, ``Modernizing Regulatory Review'' and Executive Order 13563,
``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review.'' This agenda includes
regulatory actions that support the Administration's regulatory
priorities, the Secretary of Defense's top priorities to defend the
Nation, take care of our people, and succeed through teamwork, as well
as those priorities of the National Defense Strategy. These actions
include efforts to promote the country's economic resilience; address
healthcare issues; support underserved communities and improve small
business opportunities; promote competition in the American economy;
address issues impacting the Federal workforce; support national
security efforts, especially safeguarding Federal Government
information and information technology systems; support the climate
change emergency; and address issues impacting military families.
Members of the public may submit comments on individual proposed and
interim final rulemakings at www.regulations.gov during the comment
period that follows publication in the Federal Register.
This agenda updates the report published on February 9, 2024, and
includes regulations expected to be issued and under review over the
next 12 months. The next agenda will publish in the fall of 2024.
The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at
www.reginfo.gov.
In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602),
which requires agencies to publish its regulatory flexibility agendas
in the Federal Register, the Department of Defense's printed agenda
entries in the Federal Register include only:
(1) rules that are in the Agency's regulatory flexibility agenda,
in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are
likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities; and
(2) Any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review
under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Although printing of these entries is limited to fields that
contain information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's agenda
requirements, additional information on these entries is in the Unified
Agenda available online.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This edition of the Unified Agenda of
Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions reports on actions planned
by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Military Departments,
the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment for procurement-related actions, and the U.S. Army Corps of

This agenda also identifies rules impacted by the:
a. Regulatory Flexibility Act.
b. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
c. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.
Generally, rules discussed in this agenda will contain five
sections: (1) pre-rule stage; (2) proposed rule stage; (3) final rule
stage; (4) completed actions; and (5) long-term actions. Where certain
regulatory actions indicate that small entities are affected, the
effect on these entities may not necessarily have significant economic
impact on a substantial number of these entities as defined in the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601(6)).
The publishing of this agenda does not waive the applicability of
the military affairs exemption in section 553
[[Page 66797]]
of title 5 U.S.C. and section 3 of Executive Order 12866.

58. Assessing Contractor Implementation of Cybersecurity Requirements
(DFARS Case 2019-D041) [0750-AK81]
Legal Authority: 41 U.S.C. 1303; Pub. L. 116-92, sec. 1648
Abstract: DoD is amending an interim rule to implement the CMMC
framework 2.0 in order to protect against the theft of intellectual
property and sensitive information from the Defense Industrial Base
(DIB) sector. The CMMC framework, as defined in Title 32 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), assesses compliance with applicable
information security requirements. This rule provides the Department
with assurances that a DIB contractor can adequately protect sensitive
unclassified information at a level commensurate with the risk,
accounting for information flow down to its subcontractors in a multi-
tier supply chain.
