Office of Federal Procurement Policy 

Determination of Executive 

Compensation Benchmark Amount 

Pursuant to Section 39 of the Office of 

Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) 

Act (41 U.S.C. 435), as Amended 

AGENCY: Office of Federal Procurement 

Policy. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) is hereby publishing 

the attached memorandum to the heads 

of executive departments and agencies 

concerning the determination of the 

maximum benchmark compensation 

amount that will be allowable under 

government contracts during 

contractors’ FY 2007—$597,912. This 

determination is required under Section 

39 of the Office of Federal Procurement 

Policy (OFPP) Act (41 U.S.C. 435), as 

amended. The benchmark compensation 

amount applies equally to both defense 

and civilian procurement agencies. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Laura Auletta, Office of Federal 

Procurement Policy, on (202) 395–3256.

Administrator. 

Memorandum for the Heads of Executive 

Departments and Agencies 

Subject: Determination of Executive 

Compensation Benchmark Amount, Pursuant 

to Section 39 of the Office of Federal 

Procurement Policy, (OFPP) Act (41 U.S.C. 

435), as amended. 

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 

benchmark corporations for the most recent 

year for which data is available. The 

benchmark compensation amount 

established 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. This amount is based on 

data from commercially available surveys of 

executive compensation that analyze the 

relevant data made available by the 

Securities and Exchange Commission. More 

specifically, as required by Section 39 of the 

OFPP Act, the data used is the median (50th 

percentile) amount of compensation accrued 

over a recent 12 month period for the top five 

highest paid executives of publicly traded 

companies with annual sales over $50 

million. After consultation with the Director 

of the Defense Contract Audit Agency, we 

have determined pursuant to the 

requirements of Section 39 that the 

benchmark compensation amount for 

contractors’ Fiscal Year 2007 is $597,912. 

This amount is for Fiscal Year 2007 and 

subsequent contractor fiscal years, unless and 

until revised by OFPP. The benchmark 

compensation amount applies to contract 

costs incurred after January 1, 2007, under 

covered contracts of both the defense and 

civilian procurement agencies as specified in 

Section 39 of the OFPP Act (41 U.S.C. 435), 

as amended. 

Questions concerning this memorandum 

may be addressed to Laura Auletta, Office of 

Federal Procurement Policy, at (202) 395–

3256.

collection. In this notice, NARA is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

following information collections: 

1. Title: Court Order Requirements. 

OMB number: 3095–0038. 

Agency form number: NA Form 

13027. 

Type of review: Regular. 

Affected public: Veterans and Former 

Federal civilian employees, their 

authorized representatives, state and 

local governments, and businesses. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

5,000. 

Estimated time per response: 15 

minutes. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

1,250 hours. 

Abstract: The information collection 

is prescribed by 36 CFR 1228.164. In 

accordance with rules issued by the 

Office of Personnel Management, the 

National Personnel Records Center 

(NPRC) of the National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) 

administers Official Personnel Folders 

(OPF) and Employee Medical Folders 

(EMF) of former Federal civilian 

employees. In accordance with rules 

issued by the Department of Defense 

(DOD) and the Department of 

Transportation (DOT), the NPRC also 

administers military service records of 

veterans after discharge, retirement, and 

death, and the medical records of these 

veterans, current members of the Armed 

Forces, and dependents of Armed 

Forces personnel. The NA Form 13027, 

Court Order Requirements, is used to 

advise requesters of (1) the correct 

procedures to follow when requesting 

certified copies of records for use in 

civil litigation or criminal actions in 

courts of law and (2) the information to 

be provided so that records may be 

identified. 

2. Title: Authorization for Release of 

Military Medical Patient Records, 

Request for Information Needed to 

Locate Medical Records, Request for 

Information Needed to Reconstruct 

Medical Data, and Questionnaire about 

Military Service. 

OMB number: 3095–0039. 

Agency form number: NA Forms 

13036, 13042, 13055, and 13075. 

Type of review: Regular. 

Affected public: Veterans, their 

authorized representatives, state and 

local governments, and businesses. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

79,800. 

Estimated time per response: 5 

minutes. 

Frequency of response: On occasion 

(when respondent wishes to request 

information from a military personnel, 

military medical, and dependent 

medical record). 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

6,650 hours. 

Abstract: The information collection 

is prescribed by 36 CFR 1228.164. In 

accordance with rules issued by the 

Department of Defense (DOD) and the 

Department of Transportation (DOT, 

U.S. Coast Guard), the National 

Personnel Records Center (NPRC) of the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA) administers 

military personnel and medical records 

of veterans after discharge, retirement, 

and death. In addition, NRPC 

administers the medical records of 

dependents of service personnel. When 

veterans, dependents, and other 

authorized individuals request 

information from or copies of 

documents in military personnel, 

military medical, and dependent 

medical records, they must provide on 

forms or in letters certain information 

about the veteran and the nature of the 

request. A major fire at the NPRC on 

July 12, 1973, destroyed numerous 

military records. If individuals’ requests 

involve records or information from 

records that may have been lost in the 

fire, requesters may be asked to 

complete NA Form 13075, 

Questionnaire about Military Service, or 

NA Form 13055, Request for 

Information Needed to Reconstruct 

Medical Data, so that NPRC staff can 

search alternative sources to reconstruct 

the requested information. Requesters 

who ask for medical records of 

dependents of service personnel and 

hospitalization records of military 

personnel are asked to complete NA 

Form 13042, Request for Information 

Needed to Locate Medical Records, so 

that NPRC staff can locate the desired 

records. Certain types of information 

contained in military personnel and 

medical records are restricted from 

disclosure unless the veteran provides a 

more specific release authorization than 

is normally required. Veterans are asked 

to complete NA Form 13036, 

Authorization for Release of Military 

Medical Patient Records, to authorize 

release to a third party of a restricted 

type of information found in the desired 

record.
