Abstract
This final rule removes the Department of Agriculture (hereinafter ``USDA'') regulation on classification, declassification, and safeguarding of classified information. This regulation is unnecessary because no requests to declassify documents have been made by the public since it was placed in the Federal Register on March 18, 1983. This action is being taken as part of the National Performance Review program to eliminate unnecessary regulations and improve those that remain in force.
