## Abstract

This final rule removes 32 CFR part 18 concerning the Appointing Authority for Military Commissions. This rule pertains to a military function of the United States and is exempt from rulemaking requirements. Previously, this rule was published for informational purposes only. As a result of the enactment of Military Commissions Act of 2009, the Deputy Secretary's issuance of the Regulation for Trial by Military Commissions on November 6, 2011, and his cancellation of DoD Directive 5105.70, "Appointing Authority for Military Commissions," this regulation is no longer required.
