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.

     For this edition of the Department of Defense's regulatory 
agenda, the most important significant regulatory actions are 
included in The Regulatory Plan, which appears in part II of this 
issue of the Federal Register. The Regulatory Plan entries are 
listed in the table of contents below and are denoted by a 
bracketed bold reference, which directs the reader to the 
appropriate sequence number in part II.

     The agenda portion of this document updates the report 
published on April 24, 2000, 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 2001, with the next 
regulatory plan scheduled to be published in October 2001. 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 73719]]

     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 31, 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

[[Page 73724]]

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.

Legal Authority: EO 13132

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 339

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule assigns responsibilities and prescribes procedures 
for the implementation of Executive Order 13132 ``Federalism'' within 
the Department of Defense. This rule establishes an accountable 
consultation process with State and local officials in the development 
of policies having Federalism implications. The Director, 
Administration and Management, was designated the Federalism official 
for the Department of Defense by Secretary of Defense memorandum. 
Accordingly, the Federalism official has established an accountable 
process for meaningful and timely intergovernmental consultation, will 
monitor compliance with the Executive order, and will provide 
certification of compliance and reports to the Office of Management and 
Budget. Costs attributed to the rulemaking and budgetary effects are 
negligible. The primary qualitative benefit from this rulemaking lies 
in establishing a regulatory and policymaking approach that respects 
the role of State and local governments by ensuring the opportunity for 
timely and meaningful consultation.

896.  NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 794; 42 USC 2000d to 2000d-7; 42 USC 6101 to 
6107; EO 12250

CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Department of Defense proposes to make amendments to its 
regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 
(title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 
504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). 
Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, 
color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities 
that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights 
Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of ``program or activity'' and 
``program'' to title VI and added a definition of ``program or 
activity'' to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added 
definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of 
recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The 
promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the 
CRRA's definition of ``program or activity'' and ``program'' into the 
Department of Defense's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination 
Act regulations. The Department of Defense's proposed regulation will 
be published as part of a joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving 
up to 24 Federal agencies.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 5 USC 301; 10 USC 113

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 22; 32 CFR 32

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: On July 20, 1995, the Department of Defense published a final 
rule (60 FR 37337) implementing title XXIX of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for FY 1994 (Pub. L. 103-160) and the President's 
Five-Part Plan ``A Program to Revitalize Base Closure Communities,'' 
July 2, 1993. This rule will amend the final rule to implement section 
2821 of the FY 2000 Defense Authorization Act, which provides for the 
non-cost conveyance of base closure property for job creation purposes. 
This new authority is essential to the Department's base reuse program 
because it improves the conveyance process and enhances our ability to 
support local communities' economic recovery efforts.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: PL 106-65, section 813

CFR Citation: 48 CFR 215

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Modified the Defense FAR Supplement to implement section 813 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000. The 
rule amends the weighted guidelines method of profit computation to 
combine the management and cost control elements of the performance 
risk factor. The rule also establishes a new ``technology incentive'' 
range for technical risk and modifies some of the cost control 
standards. In addition, the rule clarifies that Department of Defense 
departments and agencies must use a structured approach for developing 
a prenegotiation profit or fee objective on any negotiated contract 
action when cost or pricing data is obtained.

Procurement: This is a procurement-related action for which there is a 
statutory requirement. There is a paperwork burden associated with this 
action.
Additional Information: The interim rule relates to procurement where 
contractor labor hours is collected coincidental with contract 
performance. It is not, however, required for the actual business of 
procurement. The collection is currently ``made necessary'' by statute 
and is the only possible way to carry out the request under section 343 
of the Defense Authorization Act. The collection does have some 
external (and internal) paperwork burden, but that has been minimized 
to the extent practicable.

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

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 
pertaining to the Expanded Active Duty Dependents Benefit Plan. The new 
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.

1004.  TRICARE; CIVILIAN HEALTH AND MEDICAL PROGRAM OF THE 
UNIFORMED SERVICES (CHAMPUS); BONUS PAYMENTS IN MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED 
AREAS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 10 USC ch 55; 5 USC 301

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 199

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule implements a bonus payment, in addition to the 
amount normally paid under the allowable charge methodology, to 
providers in medically underserved areas. For purposes of this rule, 
medically underserved areas are the same as those determined by the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services for the Medicare program. Such 
bonus payments shall be equal to the bonus payments authorized by 
Medicare, except as necessary to recognize any unique or distinct 
characteristics or requirements of the CHAMPUS program and as described 
in instructions issued by the Director, OCHAMPUS. Due to the urgency 
for such bonus payments in medically underserved areas to alleviate 
problems by lower payments, the interim final rule making process has 
been utilized. This rule promotes a reimbursement enhancement to a 
limited number of providers designed to increase CHAMPUS beneficiary 
access to care, which also supports the use of the interim final rule.
