## Abstract

This final rule removes the DoD regulation which implemented law authorizing the sale of aircraft and aircraft parts to entities that contract with the Federal government for the delivery of fire retardant by air in order to suppress wildfire. This authorization has since expired. Existing statutory authorities allow the sale or transfer of aircraft and aircraft parts to Fire Fighter Agencies, rendering this part obsolete and unnecessary.
