## Abstract

This final rule removes the Department of the Air Force's regulation regarding the process for replacing lost or destroyed separation documentation. Since the publication of this rule, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has assumed control of the records concerned and the document release process. The content of this part is now addressed in a NARA regulation. Therefore, this part is unnecessary and may be removed from the CFR.
