DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

[DoD–2006–OS–0096] 

Higher Initial Maximum Uniform 

Allowance Rate; Uniform Allowances 

AGENCY: Department of Defense; Office 

of the Deputy Under Secretary of 

Defense (Civilian Personnel Policy). 

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense 

(DoD or ‘‘the Department’’), is proposing 

to establish a higher initial maximum 

uniform allowance to procure and issue 

uniform items for uniformed police 

personnel. This proposal is pursuant to 

the authority granted to DoD by 

§ 591.104 of title 5, Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), which states that an 

agency may establish one or more initial 

maximum uniform allowance rates 

greater than the Governmentwide 

maximum uniform allowance rate 

established under 5 CFR 591.103. 

DATES: The Department must receive 

comments on or before December 11, 

2006. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and or RIN 

number and title, by any of the 

following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DoD is 

proposing to implement a higher initial 

maximum uniform allowance to procure 

and issue uniform items for uniformed 

police personnel. This is being proposed 

in accordance with 5 CFR 591.104, 

which states that an agency may 

establish one or more initial maximum 

uniform allowance rates greater than the 

Governmentwide maximum uniform 

allowance rate established under 5 CFR 

591.103. The current $400.00 limit has 

become inadequate to maintain the 

uniform standards and professional 

image expected of Federal police 

officers. The uniform items for 

uniformed police personnel include the 

following items or similar items such as: 

Goretex gloves; 6-pocket pants; 4-pocket 

long sleeve shirts; cold weather duty 

jackets; light weight duty jackets; 

sweaters; all season trousers; summer 

duty shirts; winter duty shirts; 

raincoats; sheriff’s type hats; ties; shoes; 

leather boots; heavy duty coats; 

shoulder patches, and cloth badges. The 

average total uniform cost for the listed 

items is $1,800.00. Based on these 

current costs, the Department is 

proposing to increase the initial 

maximum uniform allowance for 

uniformed police personnel to $1,800.00 

The number of uniformed police 

personnel affected by this challenge in 

the Department would be approximately 

5,000 employees. The proposed 

effective date of this higher initial 

maximum uniform allowance rate is 

December 1, 2006. 

Dated: October 2, 2006.
