SUMMARY: The Administrator of the

Office of Federal Procurement Policy

(OFPP) is hereby publishing the

attached memorandum to heads of

agencies concerning the determination

of the maximum ‘‘benchmark’’

compensation that will be allowable

under government contracts during

contractors’ FY 2000—$353,010. This

105–85. It applies equally to both

defense and civilian procurement

agencies.

To the Heads of Executive Departments

and Agencies

Subject: Determination of Executive

Compensation Benchmark Amount

Pursuant to Section 808 of Pub. L. 105–

85

This memorandum sets forth the

‘‘benchmark compensation amount’’ as

required by Section 39 of the Office of

Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Act

(41 U.S.C. 435), as amended. Under

Section 39, the ‘‘benchmark

compensation amount’’ is ‘‘the median

amount of the compensation provided

for all senior executives of all

benchmark corporations for the most

recent year for which data is available.’’

The ‘‘benchmark compensation

amount’’ established as directed by

Section 39 limits the allowability of

compensation costs under government

contracts. The ‘‘benchmark

compensation amount’’ does not limit

the compensation that an executive may

otherwise receive.

Based on a review of commercially

available surveys of executive

compensation and after consultation

with the Director of the Defense

Contract Audit Agency, I have

determined pursuant to the

requirements of Section 39 that the

benchmark compensation amount for

contractor fiscal year 2000 is $353,010.

This benchmark compensation amount

is to be used for contractor fiscal year

2000, and subsequent contractor fiscal

years, unless and until revised by OFPP.

This benchmark compensation amount

applies to contract costs incurred after

January 1, 2000, under covered

contracts of both the defense and

civilian procurement agencies as

specified in Section 808 of Pub. L. 105–

85.

Questions concerning this

memorandum may be addressed to

Richard C. Loeb, Executive Secretary,

Cost Accounting Standards Board,

OFPP, on (202) 395–3254.

Deidre A. Lee,

Administrator.
