SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

702 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 

(Pub. L. 113–67; enacted Dec 26, 2013) 

establishes a cap of $487,000 per year 

on the amount the Federal Government 

will reimburse for contractor-paid 

employee compensation on contracts 

with defense and civilian agencies. By 

law, this amount must be adjusted 

annually to reflect the change in the 

Employment Cost Index for all workers, 

as calculated by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics. Pursuant to section 702(c), the 

new cap applies to costs of 

compensation incurred under contracts 

entered into on or after the date that is 

180 days after the enactment of the 

Bipartisan Budget Act of FY 2013, (June 

24, 2014). The Defense Acquisition 

Regulations Council and the Civilian 

Agency Acquisition Council published 

an interim rule via separate notice on 

June 24, 2014 to revise the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation to implement 

section 702 and seek public comment. 

Section 702(e) directs OMB and DOD 

to report to Congress on alternative 

benchmarks and industry standards for 

compensation, including whether any 

such benchmarks or standards would 

provide a more appropriate measure of 

allowable compensation for the 

purposes of section 2324(e)(1)(P) of title 

10, United States Code, and section 

4304(a)(16) of title 41, United States 

Code.’’ These statutory provisions set 

forth the caps on contractor employee 

compensation that may be reimbursed 

by the government. 

OMB’s OFPP and DoD seek public 

input on alternative benchmarks that 

would provide a more appropriate 

measure of allowable compensation for 

the purposes of section 2324(e)(1)(P) of 

title 10, and section 4304(a)(16) of title 

41, United States Code, as amended by 

section 702, including appropriate 

inflators (i.e., alternatives in lieu of the 

Employment Cost Index for all workers, 

as calculated by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics). Feedback will be considered 

in preparation of the report to Congress 

and should both describe the 

alternative(s) and explain why such 

might be more suitable than the 

benchmark and inflators set forth in 

statute.
