## Abstract

This final rule removes DoD's regulation concerning the Department of the Navy's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) program. The DoD has revised their FOIA program rule to include DoD component information and has removed the requirement for component supplementary rules. Therefore, the Navy's FOIA program rule can be removed from the CFR.
