[Docket ID: DOD-2020-OS-0047]
RIN 0790-AL01
Admissions Policies and Procedures for the School of Medicine,
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
AGENCY: Department of Defense.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule removes the DoD regulation which is outdated,
contains internal guidance for admissions to the School of Medicine,
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, reiterates
statutory requirements, and is otherwise subject to the military
function exemption to rulemaking.
DATES: This rule is effective on December 13, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven J. Weiss, Associate General
Counsel, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, (301)
295-3028.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule, first published on February 6,
1976 (41 FR 5389), ``establishes policies and procedures and assigns
responsibilities to the President of the University and the Secretaries
of the Military Departments for the selection of entrants to the School
of Medicine of the Uniformed Services University of the Health
Sciences.'' Part 242 was amended once on July 28, 1989, in 54 FR 31335
to make administrative
[[Page 70749]]
changes and to raise the admission age from 32 to 34 for students who
have served on active duty. The rule is outdated, contains internal
guidance, reiterates statutory requirements (10 U.S.C. 2101, et seq.),
and is otherwise subject to the military function exemption to
rulemaking.
It has been determined that publication of this CFR part removal
for public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to
public interest since it is based on removing DoD internal policies and
procedures that are publicly available in DoD Instruction 5105.45,
``Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU),'' most
recently updated on May 30, 2019, at <a href="https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/510545p.pdf?ver=2019-05-30-074128-497">https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/510545p.pdf?ver=2019-05-30-074128-497</a>.
This rule is not significant under Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory
Planning and Review.''
