The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, part of the Department of Defense, has removed outdated sections called the Continuing Authorities Programs from the Code of Federal Regulations.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.
