    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, part of the Department of Defense, has issued a final rule to remove an outdated regulation from the Code of Federal Regulations. The regulation, related to water resources policies and authorities, became obsolete after its authority expired on December 31, 1977. Removing this rule aims to clear up any public confusion and ensure the Corps' regulations are up-to-date and aligned with current legal requirements. This action is part of ongoing efforts to streamline regulations, as the old rule no longer affects the public or imposes any costs.

    Simple Explanation

    The rules about how the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers deals with water have changed because the old rules don't work anymore. They took away a rule that hasn't been used for a long time, so things are less confusing now.

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, part of the Department of Defense, has removed outdated sections called the Continuing Authorities Programs from the Code of Federal Regulations. These sections dealt with internal operations that didn't affect the public and were therefore not necessary for public compliance. The updated policies are now available in internal documents, which help avoid confusion for the public and the Corps. This change is not expected to save money for the public and supports recommendations from the Department of Defense’s Regulatory Reform Task Force.

    Simple Explanation

    The Army decided to take away some old rules that only mattered to them, so they won't be in the big rule book anymore. They checked to make sure no one outside the Army would be affected by this change.
