## Abstract

This final rule removes the regulation concerning how the Department of the Air Force appoints individuals to the United States Air Force Academy. The part is outdated, contains internal guidance, reiterates statutory law, and is otherwise subject to the military function exemption to rulemaking. Applicants to the Air Force Academy are individually provided with any relevant entrance information and the current policy is publicly available on the United States Air Force Academy's website. Therefore, the part is unnecessary and can be removed from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
