Abstract
The final rule removes Department of Defense (DoD) regulations regarding the Retired Serviceman's Family Protection Plan (RSFPP). The part contains information for enrollment, designation of beneficiaries, and general guidance for the RSFPP program, which has been closed to new applicants since 1972. The only remaining relevant aspect of the RSFPP program is the application for benefits upon the death of a participating retiree, which is accomplished by completing the necessary forms that are published on a public website. This collection of information is tied to statute, and thus does not require an authorizing CFR part. Accordingly, this part is outdated and unnecessary and may be removed from the CFR.
