Voluntary State Tax Withholding From Retired Pay

This direct final rule removes DoD's regulation on the voluntary state income tax withholding from the monthly retired or retainer pay of any member or former member of the uniformed Services. That regulation is unnecessary because it restates current law; sets forth internal policy and procedures; and conveys to the public administrative and procedural information that does not require rulemaking. Accordingly, DoD will remove this part and publish a document in the Federal Register informing the States and current and former members of that administrative information, such as where to submit requests for income withholding.
