Subject: Department of Defense: Transition Assistance Program (TAP) for Military
        Personnel

Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
major rule promulgated by the Department of Defense (DOD) entitled Transition
Assistance Program (TAP) for Military Personnel (RIN: 0790-AJ17). We received the
rule on December 2, 2015. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim final
rule on November 30, 2015. 80 Fed. Reg. 74,678.

The interim final rule establishes policy, assigns responsibilities, and prescribes
procedures for administration of the DOD Transition Assistance Program, which has the
goal of preparing eligible members of the military services for a transition to civilian life,
including preparing them to meet Career Readiness Standards (CRS).

Enclosed is our assessment of DOD's compliance with the procedural steps required by
section 801 (a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review of the
procedural steps taken indicates that DOD complied with the applicable requirements.
