## Abstract

This final rule removes the Department of Defense (DoD) regulation concerning a program to encourage public and community service by separating/retiring Service members, and DoD civilian personnel leaving the Government, and encourages spouses to enter public and community service employment. The authorizing legislation for this program has been repealed. Therefore, this part is outdated and unnecessary and should be removed.
