Improving Government Regulations; Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory 
and Deregulatory Actions

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense (DoD) is publishing this semiannual 
agenda of regulatory documents, including those that are procurement-
related, for public information and comments under Executive Order 
12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review.'' This agenda incorporates the 
objective and criteria, when applicable, of the regulatory reform 
program under the Executive order and other regulatory guidance. It 
contains DoD issuances initiated by DoD components that may have 
economic and environmental impact on State, local, or tribal interests 
under the criteria of Executive Order 12866. Although most DoD 
issuances listed in the agenda are of negligible public impact, their 
nature may be of public interest and, therefore, are published to 
provide notice of rulemaking and an opportunity for public 
participation in the internal DoD rulemaking process.

    This edition of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and 
Deregulatory Actions includes The Regulatory Plan, which appears in 
part II of this issue of the Federal Register. The Department of 
Defense's Statement of Regulatory Priorities is included in part 
II.

    The agenda portion of this document updates the report 
published on April 27, 1998, and includes regulations expected to 
be issued and under review over the next 12 months. The next agenda 
is scheduled to be published in April 1999, with the next 
regulatory plan scheduled to be published in October 1999. In 
addition to this agenda, DoD components also publish rulemaking 
notices pertaining to their specific statutory administration 
requirements as required.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This edition of the Unified Agenda of 
Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions is composed of the 
regulatory status reports, including procurement-related regulatory 
status reports, from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and 
the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Included also is the 
regulatory status report from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, whose 
civil works functions fall under the reporting requirements of 
Executive Order 12866 and involve water resource projects and 
regulation of activities in waters of the United States.

    DoD issuances range from DoD directives (reflecting 
departmental policy) to implementing instructions and regulations 
(largely internal and used to implement directives). The OSD agenda 
section contains the primary directives under which DoD components 
promulgate their implementing regulations.

    To ease identification and to differentiate among the variety 
of issuances reported, they are identified by their DoD internal 
numbering system, which denotes component level of authority and 
type of issuance, in addition to the required CFR number.

    In addition, this agenda, although published under the 
reporting requirements of Executive Order 12866, continues to be 
the DoD single-source reporting vehicle, which identifies issuances 
that are currently applicable under the various regulatory reform 
programs in progress. Therefore, DoD components will identify those 
rules which come under the criteria of the:

    a. Regulatory Flexibility Act;

    b. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995;

    c. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.

[[Page 61611]]

    Those DoD issuances, which are directly applicable under these 
statutes, will be identified in the agenda and their action status 
indicated. Generally, the regulatory status reports in this agenda 
will contain five sections: (1) Prerule stage; (2) proposed rule 
stage; (3) final rule stage; (4) completed actions; and (5) long-
term actions. Where certain regulatory actions indicate that small 
entities are affected, the effect on these entities may not 
necessarily have significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of these entities as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 601(6)).

    Although not a regulatory agency, DoD will continue to 
participate in regulatory initiatives designed to reduce economic 
costs and unnecessary environmental burdens upon the public. 
Comments and recommendations are invited on the rules reported and 
should be addressed to the DoD component representatives identified 
in the regulatory status reports. Although sensitive to the needs 
of the public, as well as regulatory reform, DoD reserves the right 
to exercise the exemptions and flexibility permitted in its 
rulemaking process in order to proceed with its overall defense-
oriented mission. The publishing of this agenda does not waive the 
applicability of the military affairs exemption in section 553 of 
title 5 U.S.C. and section 3 of Executive Order 12866.

Dated: August 25, 1998.

D. O. Cooke,

Director, Administration and Management.

CFR Citation:  32 CFR 153

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 1996 transferred 
to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the 
Comptroller General's authority to settle claims. The OMB Director 
subsequently delegated some of these authorities to the Department of 
Defense (DoD). Later, the General Accounting Office Act of 1996 
codified many of these delegations and transferred to the OMB Director 
the authority of the Comptroller General to waive uniformed service 
member and employee debts arising out of the erroneous payment of pay 
or allowances exceeding $1,500. The OMB Director subsequently delegated 
the authority to waive such debts of uniformed service members to DoD 
and the authority to waive employee debts to the employee's agency 
(non-DoD agencies may request an advisory opinion from DoD). The 
Secretary of Defense further delegated his claims settlement authority 
to the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA). This proposed 
rule seeks public comments on the procedures that DOHA proposes to use 
to implement these authorities.

military mobilization purposes. The intended effect of the screening is 
to preclude conflicts between Reserve mobilization obligations and 
Federal civilian employment requirements during times of war or 
national emergency.

Abstract: This rule revises the comprehensive CHAMPUS regulation 
pertaining to basic CHAMPUS benefits in accordance with several 
statutory changes. This rule sets forth the requirements for 
reinstatement of CHAMPUS eligibility for beneficiaries under age 65 who 
would otherwise have lost eligibility for CHAMPUS due to eligibility 
for Medicare as a result of disability or end-stage renal disease 
(ESRD); establishes new classes of CHAMPUS eligibles; establishes the 
Transitional Assistance Management Program which provides transitional 
health care for members (and their dependents) who served on active 
duty in support of a contingency operation and for members (and their 
dependents) who are involuntarily separated from active duty; allows 
former spouses who buy a conversion

[[Page 61643]]

health policy to keep CHAMPUS eligibility for twenty-four (24) months 
for preexisting conditions that are not covered by the conversion 
policy; and makes minor technical revisions to the double coverage 
provisions. In order to expedite compliance with the statutory 
requirements, all of these provisions have been implemented under 
interim instructions. This proposed rule also adds a new category of 
eligible beneficiary under the Continued Health Care Benefit Program.

medical or psychological services, supplies, or durable medical 
equipment excluded by law or regulation as a CHAMPUS benefit. Under 
this program, waiver of benefit limits to the Basic CHAMPUS program may 
be authorized for beneficiaries when the provision of such services or 
supplies is cost-effective and clinically appropriate, as compared to 
historical or projected CHAMPUS/MTF utilization of health care 
services. It is designed to develop a cost-effective plan of care by 
targeting appropriate resources to meet the individual needs of the 
beneficiary.

[[Page 61645]]

CFR Citation:  32 CFR 199

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule proposes to revise certain requirements and 
procedures for reimbursement under the TRICARE program, the purpose of 
which is to implement a comprehensive managed health care delivery 
system composed of military medical treatment facilities and CHAMPUS. 
Issues addressed in this rule include implementation of changes made to 
the Medicare Prospective Payment System (PPS) upon which the CHAMPUS 
DRG-based payment system is modeled and required by law to follow 
wherever practicable, along with changes to make our DRG-based payment 
system operate better. Additional issues include the extension of the 
balance billing limitations currently in place for individual and 
professional providers to non-institutional, non-professional providers 
and adjusting the CHAMPUS maximum allowable charge (CMAC) rate in the 
small number cases where the CMAC rate is less than the Medicare rate. 
The revision would also affect the implementing of the Governmentwide 
debarment rule where any provider excluded or suspended from CHAMPUS 
shall be excluded from all other programs and activities involving 
Federal financial assistance, such as Medicare or Medicaid, and adding 
violations of our balance billing or claims filing requirements to the 
list of provider actions considered violations of the TRICARE/CHAMPUS 
program.

Abstract: Currently, any individual who is a civilian employee of the 
United States Government cannot be authorized by CHAMPUS as a provider 
of medical services. We propose to provide an exception to this 
prohibition to permit these individuals to be authorized CHAMPUS 
providers if they meet three conditions. First, they must be employed 
by the Government agency on a part-time basis, that is, less than 
twenty (20) hours per week. Second, the agency must certify that unique 
or special circumstances detrimental to the delivery of quality health 
care exist that can be overcome only by employing part-time, non-
Government physicians. Third, the agency and the physician must certify 
that they understand and have taken appropriate measures to avoid 
violation of Standards of Conduct, dual compensation, and conflict of 
interest requirements including protection against referral of patients 
to the employee's private practice.

Abstract: This rule modifies the TRICARE Prime enrollment for active

required to pay an annual fee in order to enroll in TRICARE Prime. 
These modifications are being made because TRICARE will soon be
