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 30, 2000, 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 
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.

     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 25335]]

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 26, 2001.

 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.

December 18, 1996, respectively, which are published in title 4, Code 
of Federal Regulations, chapter 1, subchapters C and G. See also 61 FR

649. IMPLEMENTATION OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 13132 ``FEDERALISM''

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

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.

650. NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, 
HANDICAP, AND AGE IN PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES RECEIVING FEDERAL 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

Legal Deadline: None

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.

Legal Authority: 10 USC 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.

Defense to authorize higher provider reimbursement than normally 
allowable, with certain limitations, when necessary to ensure an 
adequate TRICARE Prime network of qualified providers. This rule also 
describes additional actions which may be taken under section 731 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 when 
TRICARE beneficiaries face very severe limitations on access to needed 
health care services. In such instances, the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Health Affairs may authorize higher TRICARE payments than 
would normally be allowable for professional services in a designated 
location.

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

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 10 USC 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 rulemaking process has 
been utilized.

[[Page 25356]]

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.
