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 26, 1999, 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 2000, with the next 
regulatory plan scheduled to be published in October 2000. 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.

     Those DoD issuances, which are directly applicable under these 
statutes, will be identified in the agenda and

[[Page 64287]]

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 : September 1, 1999.

 D. O. Cooke,

Director, Administration and Management.

USC 420; 31 USC 3702; 32 USC 714; 32 USC 716; 37 USC 554

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.

INTEREST PROVISIONS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 10 USC ch 55; 5 USC 301

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 199

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Currently, any individual who is a civilian employee of the 
United States Government cannot be

[[Page 64315]]

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.

990.  CIVILIAN HEALTH AND MEDICAL PROGRAM OF THE UNIFORMED 
SERVICES (CHAMPUS); DOUBLE COVERAGE

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 10 USC ch 55; 5 USC 301

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 199

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule clarifies our double coverage policy for non-
institutional claims for beneficiaries with primary health insurance. 
TRICARE network, non-network but participating, and non-participating 
providers are all reimbursed differently under current procedures. This 
has had the unintended effect of discouraging TRICARE network 
participation since non-network but participating providers receive the 
most favorable treatment with respect to double coverage calculations. 
The Department proposes to revise double coverage reimbursement 
calculations by reimbursing all providers up to 100 percent of the 
CHAMPUS Maximum Allowable Charge after the primary health insurance has 
paid or 115 percent for nonparticipating providers.

SERVICES (CHAMPUS); REVISIONS TO THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 10 USC ch 55; 5 USC 301

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 199

Legal Deadline: None

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 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 final rule also 
adds a new category of eligible beneficiary under the Continued Health 
Care Benefit Program.
