View Rule

The purpose of this rule is to implement policy for addressing child abuse and domestic abuse in military communities. This rule discussed procedures for completion and submission of information on reported incidents of child abuse and domestic abuse. This rule also prescribes guidance for the operation of the clinical case staffing meeting and incident determination committee in responding to reports of child abuse and neglect and domestic abuse, and procedures for determining whether these allegations meet criteria for entry into the Service FAP Central Registry.  This rule also adds new review, reporting and information protection responsibilities along with new procedures addressing those tasks. After further legal review, it was determined that subpart C and subpart D do not require publication in the Federal Register. It was determined that subpart C and subpart D set up various procedural aspects of the Family Advocacy Program that do not impact the public. Therefore, this RIN is withdrawn.
