View Rule

This part establishes procedures and assigns responsibilities for Special Events, and it sets forth procedural guidance for the execution of Special Events support when requested by civil authorities or qualifying entities and approved by the appropriate DoD authority, or as directed by the President, within the United States. Although civil authorities and officials of qualifying entities may request support from DoD, this rule neither confers a benefit not otherwise provided for in statute nor imposes a burden on the public. Further, the rule does not limit DoD assistance to qualifying entities in a way that is inconsistent with the statutory framework.DoD has determined that this rule does not meet the requirements of informal rulemaking and will repeal the this part.DoD internal guidance concerning defense support of special events will continue to be published in DoD Instruction 3025.20, Defense Support of Special Events” available at http://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodi/302520p.pdf.

Subsequent to the part being repealed, DoD will, in order to comply with 5 U.S.C. 552(a), provide notice in the Federal Register to inform the public how to submit requests for special event support.  No cost savings have been identified.
