## Abstract

This rule implements Section 621 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 expanding patronage for commissary, exchange, and revenue-generating morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) facilities. As part of DOD's implementation the Department is required to collect a user fee when these new populations utilize a credit or debit card that creates a cost to the Department of the Treasury for processing these transactions. As it related to this Section, such costs are only generated by credit or debit card transactions at Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) facilities.
