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 agenda updates the report published on December 11, 2006, 
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 the fall of 2007. 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;

[[Page 22433]]

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: February 27, 2007.

 Michael L. Rhodes,

Deputy Director, Administration and Management.

593. NONPROCUREMENT DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION

Priority: Other Significant. Major status under 5 USC 801 is 
undetermined.

CFR Citation: 2 CFR 1125; 32 CFR 21; 32 CFR 22; 32 CFR 25; 32 CFR 32;

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Department of Defense (DoD) is revising the DoD Grant and 
Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs) to implement Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) guidance on nonprocurement suspension and debarment and to 
make needed technical corrections. To implement the OMB guidance, DoD 
is adopting a new part in title 2 of the CFR, the Governmentwide title 
recently established for OMB guidance and agencies' implementing 
regulations on grants and agreements. The Department also is removing 
the common rule on nonprocurement suspension and debarment that is in 
the DoDGARs in 32 CFR, chapter I, subchapter C, since the common rule 
is superseded by the new DoD part implementing the OMB guidance. This 
regulatory action is the first step toward relocating all of the 
DoDGARs to 2 CFR.

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 Nonprofit 
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: This rule updates the national plan for security control of

with the 22 June 2006, National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD-47 
and Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-16, and is authorized

Executive Order 12656 (``Assignment of Emergency Preparedness 
Responsibilities,'' November 18, 1988), as amended. Good cause exists 
for exemption from public comment as the published change to 32 CFR is 
in direct compliance with current Presidential Directives, does not set 
a precedent in updating the National Plan, and any delay in acting on 
this request would be detrimental to U.S. aviation security and 
national commerce. It defines the responsibilities and actions of 
agencies and personnel within DoD.

Abstract: TRICARE eligible beneficiaries, who are entitled to Medicare

supplementary medical insurance program under Part B of Medicare. In 
general, in the case of medical or dental care provided to these 
individuals for which payment may be made under both Medicare and 
TRICARE, Medicare is the primary payer and TRICARE will normally pay 
the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by the person. This proposed 
rule prescribes double coverage payment procedures and makes revisions 
to TRICARE rules to accommodate beneficiaries who are eligible under 
both Medicare and TRICARE and who participate in Medicare's outpatient 
prescription drug program under Medicare Part D.

Abstract: This rule expands the geographic scope of the TRICARE Retiree

States and the District of Columbia, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam,

American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and 
the U.S. Virgin Islands. Expanding the geographic scope of the program 
will ensure that all TRICARE-eligible retirees are eligible for the 
same dental benefits, regardless of their location. There are no 
additional Government costs associated with this proposed expansion of 
TRDP overseas as TRDP costs are borne entirely by enrollees through 
premium payments.

Abstract: Currently, any individual who is a civilian employee of the

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 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.

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.

706. TRICARE; RESERVE AND GUARD FAMILY MEMBER BENEFITS

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 10 USC ch 55; 5 USC 301

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 199

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would implement the authority granted the Secretary 
of Defense under sections 704 and 705 of the Ronald W. Reagan National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. These provisions would 
apply to eligible family members who become eligible for TRICARE as a 
result of their Reserve Component (RC) sponsor (including those with 
delayed effective date orders up to 90 days) being called or ordered to 
active duty for more than 30 days in support of a Federal/contingency 
operation and choose to participate in TRICARE Standard or Extra, 
rather than enroll in TRICARE Prime. The first provision would waive 
the annual TRICARE Standard (or Extra) deductible, which is set by law 
(10 U.S.C. 1079(b)) at $150 per individual and $300 per family ($50/
$150 for families of members in pay grades E-4 and below). The second 
provision would increase TRICARE payments up to 115 percent of the 
TRICARE maximum allowable charge, less the applicable patient cost 
share if not previously waived under the first provision, for covered 
outpatient health services received from a provider that does not 
participate (accept assignment) with TRICARE. These provisions would 
help ensure timely access to health care and maintain clinically 
appropriate continuity of health care to family members of Reservists 
and Guardsmen activated in support of a Federal/contingency operation; 
limit the out-of-pocket health care expenses for those family members; 
and remove potential barriers to health care access by Guard and 
Reserve families.

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 10 USC ch 55; 5 USC 301; 10 USC 1079(j)(2)

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 199

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The rule implements a prospective payment system for hospital 
outpatient services similar to that furnished to Medicare 
beneficiaries, as set forth in section 1833(t) of the Social Security 
Act. The rule also recognizes applicable statutory requirements and 
changes arising from Medicare's continuing experience with its system, 
including certain related provisions of the Medicare Prescription Drug, 
Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003. While TRICARE intends to 
remain as true as possible to Medicare's basic OPPS methodology (i.e., 
adoption and updating of the Medicare data elements used in calculating 
the prospective payment amounts), there will be some significant 
deviations required to accommodate the uniqueness of the TRICARE 
program. These deviations have been designed to accommodate existing 
TRICARE benefit structure and claims processing procedures implemented 
under the TRICARE Next Generation Contracts (T-NEX) while at the same 
time eliminating any undue financial burden to TRICARE Prime, Extra and 
Standard beneficiary populations.

Legal Authority: 10 USC ch 55; 5 USC 301

CFR Citation: 32 CFR 199

Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, October 1, 2007, NDAA for FY07.

Abstract: The proposal would expand the recently enacted Reserve health 
care benefit for Reservists (called TRICARE Reserve Select) to allow 
all members of the Selected Reserve to purchase their health care 
through the Military Health System at the same low cost, regardless of 
the member's duty status. Only members who are eligible for the Federal 
Health Benefits program would be excluded from this benefit. 
Participating Reserve Component members would be required to pay a 
monthly premium of 28 percent of the cost of care for the TRICARE 
Reserve Select plan and would be subject to the same deductibles, 
copayments, and other non-premium payments applicable to dependents of 
active duty members who selected the same TRICARE option.
