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.
     This agenda updates the report published on May 16, 2005, and
includes regulations expected to be issued and under review over
the next 12 months. The next agenda is scheduled to be published in
the spring of 2006, with the next regulatory plan scheduled to be
published in the fall of 2006. 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 64485]]
     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, 2005.
 Howard G. Becker,
Deputy Director, Administration and Management.

DECISION REQUESTS

USC 420; 31 USC 3529; 31 USC 3702; 32 USC 714; 37 USC 554; . . .
CFR Citation: 32 CFR 281
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This rule proposes policy and assigns responsibilities for
settling personnel and general claims and for processing requests for
an advance decision. 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 to the Secretary of Defense
and others 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 and DoD employees to
the Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of Defense further delegated
his claims settlement and waiver authorities to the General Counsel.
This rule implements the reassignment of the Comptroller General's
former duties within the Department of Defense with little impact on
the public.

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.

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 5 USC 5584; 10 USC 2774; 32 USC 716

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This rule proposes policy and assigns responsibilities for
considering applications for the waiver of debts resulting from
erroneous payments of pay and allowances (including travel and
transportation allowances) to or on behalf of members of the Uniformed
Services and civilian DoD employees. 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 to the
Secretary of Defense and others 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 and DoD
employees to the Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of Defense further
delegated his claims settlement and waiver authorities to the General
Counsel. This rule implements the
[[Page 64495]]
reassignment of the Comptroller General's former duties within the
Department of Defense with little impact on the public.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: EO 12473; 10 USC 47
CFR Citation: 32 CFR 152
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: The Department of Defense promulgates procedures implementing
Executive Order 12473, dated July 13, 1984, calling upon the Secretary
of Defense to cause an annual review of the Manual for Courts-Martial
(MCM) and to recommend to the President any appropriate amendments.
Through the annual review process, the Secretary of Defense assists the
President in fulfilling his rulemaking responsibilities under article
36 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ; chapter 47 of title
10, United States Code). Under the direction of the General Counsel of
the Department of Defense, a Joint Service Committee on Military
Justice (JSC) is established with responsibility to conduct the annual
review and propose MCM amendments. The JSC also proposes amendments to
the UCMJ, as necessary.
 This rule updates part 152 to title 32, Code of Federal Regulations,
``Review of the Manual for Courts-Martial,'' to reflect practice and
procedures for conducting annual reviews and to change the annual
review cycle from concluding with an annual report due to the General
Counsel by December 31, instead of May 1. The change in the annual
review cycle is due to legislative requirements on affecting JSC
responsibilities. This interim rule is provided to afford a 60-day
opportunity for public comment prior to issuing a final rule. This rule
is intended only to improve the internal management of the Federal
Government. It is not intended to create any right or benefit,
substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by any party against the
United States, its agencies, its officers, or any person.

781. DEVELOPMENT OF A MUNITIONS RESPONSE SITE PRIORITIZATION PROTOCOL
Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 10 USC 2710
CFR Citation: 32 CFR 179
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: In response to section 311 of the Fiscal Year 2002 National
Defense Authorization Act, the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of
Defense (Installations & Environment), U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD), proposes to develop a site prioritization protocol for assigning

lists specific factors to be included in the protocol. DoD is
requesting input from interested parties on: (a) These factors; (b) any
additional factors to consider in developing a site prioritization
protocol; (c) how the proposed protocol should incorporate such factors
as they relate to safety and environmental hazards; and (d)
recommendations on any existing prioritization methods, models, or
tools that should be evaluated.

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: The Department of Defense (DoD) proposes to amend parts 21,
22, 25, 32, 33, 34, and 37 of the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations
(DoDGARS) to implement four Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
policy directives, to conform the DoDGARs with several statutory and
regulatory revisions, and to make other administrative changes. The
four OMB directives that are being implemented: Require Federal
agencies to use a new standard format for announcements of funding
opportunities; require Federal agencies to electronically post synopses
of those announcements at a Governmentwide Internet site; require
Governmentwide use of the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number
as the universal identifier for recipient organizations; and amend OMB
Circular A-133 to raise the threshold of Federal funding at which
recipients must obtain single audits. The statutory and regulatory
changes with which the DoDGARs are being conformed concern matters such
as nonprocurement debarment and suspension, drug-free workplace
requirements for grants, and campus access for military recruiters and
Reserve Officer Training Corps.

Abstract: Amends the Defense FAR Supplement to place restrictions on

Abstract: This action removes 32 CFR part 527 published in the Federal
Register, May 27, 1988 (53 FR 19286). The rule is being removed because
it is obsolete and no longer governs policies to control and prevent
abuse of check-cashing privileges on Army installations. The program
responsibility has been transferred to the Office of the Comptroller of
the Department of Defense.

Abstract: The Corps is proposing to amend the regulations for lockage
operations at Bonneville Lock and Dam and amend the regulations that
establish the restricted areas at Little Goose Lock and Dam. The Corps
is making corrections and adjustments to the lockage control, signals,
and permissible dimensions of vessels for Bonneville Lock and Dam.
These changes correct language for the new replacement lock. For the
Little Goose Lock and Dam the Corps is making adjustments in the
upstream channel restricted area boundary to provide a small craft
portage route around the lock and dam along the north shoreline. This
reduces interference between fisherman and the boat ramp.

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.

(CHAMPUS); DOUBLE COVERAGE
Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
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.
