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.

     The agenda portion of this document updates the report 
published on November 22, 1999, and includes regulations expected 
to be issued and under review over the next 12 months. The next 
agenda and regulatory plan are 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 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

[[Page 22677]]

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:  February 24, 2000.

 D. O. Cooke,

Director, Administration and Management.

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

Abstract: This rulemaking is the Department of Defense portion of a 
multiple-agency action. The agencies are amending their rules 
implementing Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-110, 
``Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with 
Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit 
Organizations.'' The amendments to the rules incorporate updated 
language in Circular A-110 requiring Federal awarding agencies to 
ensure that all data produced under awards subject to the Circular are 
made available to the public through the procedures established under 
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). OMB updated the Circular 
language in this way in October 1999, in response to a provision in 
Public Law 105-277. With this rule amendment to 32 CFR parts 22 and 32, 
the Department of Defense therefore will maintain policies on access to 
data produced under awards subject to Circular A-110 that are 
consistent with the policies of other Executive Departments and 
Agencies.

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.

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.

Abstract: This rule revises the comprehensive CHAMPUS regulation

plan and this rule: Places the responsibility for TRICARE Family Member 
Dental Plan (TFMDP) enrollment and a large portion of the appeals 
program on the dental plan contractor; allows the dental plan 
contractor to bill eligible dependents for plan premiums in certain 
circumstances; reduces the enrollment period from 24 to 12 months; 
excludes Reserve component members ordered to active duty in support of 
a contingency operation from the mandatory 12 month enrollment; 
simplifies enrollment types and exceptions; reduces cost-shares for 
certain enlisted grades; adds anesthesia as a covered benefit; 
incorporates legislative authority for calculating the method by which 
premiums may be raised and allowing premium reductions for certain 
enlisted grades; and reduces administrative burden by reducing 
redundant language, referencing language appearing in other CFR 
sections, and removing language more appropriate to the actual 
contract. These improvements will provide Uniformed Service families 
with numerous quality of life benefits that will improve participation 
in the plan, significantly reduce enrollment errors, and positively 
effect utilization of this important dental plan.

833.  CIVILIAN HEALTH AND MEDICAL PROGRAM OF THE UNIFORMED

CARE

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 10 USC ch 55; 5 USC 301

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 199

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule implements section 712(c) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for FY00 (Pub. L. 106-65), which requires that a 
nonavailability-of-health-care statement shall be required for a non-
enrolled beneficiary for TRICARE cost-share of maternity care services 
related to outpatient prenatal, outpatient or inpatient delivery, and 
outpatient post-partum care subsequent to the visit which confirms the 
pregnancy. The Act

[[Page 22705]]

reestablishes a requirement which was previously eliminated under the 
broad direction of The National Defense Authorization Act of FY97, 
section 734, which removed authority for nonavailability statements 
(NASs) for outpatient services. Therefore, the Act changes the existing 
provisions, require an NAS for inpatient delivery, but do not require 
an NAS for outpatient prenatal and post-partum care. The change will 
significantly contribute to continuity of care for maternity patients. 
In furtherance of that principle, and consistent with the previous 
policy, an NAS for maternity care shall not be required when a 
beneficiary has other health insurance for primary coverage.
