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 limited public impact, their nature may be of

public interest, and therefore, they are published to provide notice of rulemaking and an opportunity for

public participation in the internal DoD rulemaking process. Members of the public may submit comments

on individual proposed and interim final rulemakings at www.regulations.gov during the comment period

that follows publication in the Federal Register

.

This agenda updates the report published on November 21, 2014, 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 fall of 2015. In addition to this agenda, DoD components also publish rulemaking notices pertaining to

their specific statutory administration requirements as required.

### The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov.

Because publication in th e Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas required

by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), the Department of Defense's printed agenda entries

include only:

(1) rules that are in the Agency's regulatory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility

Act, because they are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small

entities; and

(2) any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory Flexibility

Act's agenda requirements. Additional information on these entries is in the Unified Agenda available

online.

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 and Navy. 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.

### 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 regulations 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.

Those DoD regulations, 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 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. Executive Order 13563 recognizes the importance of maintaining a consistent culture of

retrospective review and analysis throughout the executive branch. DoD's retrospective review plan is

intended to identify certain significant rules that are obsolete, unnecessary, unjustified, excessively

burdensome, or counterproductive and can be accessed at:

Title: Law Enforcement Reporting

Abstract:

The Department of the Army proposes to amend its regulation concerning law enforcement reporting to add policy on sex offenders on Army installations, policy pertaining to the collection of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from individuals suspected of certain offenses, and policy pertaining to the release of military police (MP) records. This rule also adds a reporting requirement of domestic incidents to the Army Family Advocacy Program and Detention Cell Operations. This rule also authorizes the limited use of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) to conduct checks of visitors to an

installation.

The revisions to this rule will be reported in future status updates as part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563, completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=DOD-2011

Title: Army National Cemeteries

Abstract:This proposed amendment modifies the Army's regulations governing Army National Cemeteries, which consists of Arlington and the Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National cemeteries, to reflect recent changes in the management structure of the Army National Cemeteries Program, adopt modifications suggested by the Department of the Army Inspector General, and implement statutory changes to interment, inurnment, and memorialization eligibility. The rule being pursued under RIN 0702-AA60 is being rewritten, and these changes will be incorporated in the second proposed rule. For that reason, this rule is withdrawn.

Title: Permit Application Procedures for Archaeological Research and Enforcement Procedures of the Sunken Military Craft Act on Sunken Military Craft Under the Jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy

Abstract:

This rule serves as a revision of the current 32 CFR part 767 and incorporates existing regulations together with the expanded authority provided to the Secretary of the Navy by the Sunken Military Craft Act (SMCA) (Pub. L. 108-375, 10 U.S.C. 113 note and 118 Stat. 2094-2098) to permit intrusive activities on sunken military craft. The proposed rule replaces the current regulations, and establishes a single permitting process for members of the public wishing to engage in intrusive and authorized activities on Department of Navy sunken and terrestrial military craft. The rule also incorporates provisions for a special-use permit to be issued in the case of minimally intrusive operations such as sample collection or remotely operated vehicle documentation of historic sites. The final major provision of the rule affects violations of the SMCA or of the permitting program, and outlines penalties and enforcement procedures. The revision to the rule substantiates existing legislation and stated public policy, and does not carry a significant burden of cost to the public. Rather, the rule allows the public controlled, intrusive access to sites otherwise prohibited from disturbance, bringing to light new knowledge about the Nation's maritime heritage, and honoring the service of our lost sailors.

Title: Professional Conduct of Attorneys Practicing Under the Cognizance and Supervision of the Judge Advocate General

Abstract:

The Department of the Navy is amending its rules to update existing sections relating to the professional conduct of attorneys practicing under the cognizance and supervision of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) for clients with diminished capacity. The rule allows a covered attorney to take preventative action when the attorney reasonably believes that a client has diminished capacity and is at risk of substantial physical harm to himself or herself unless immediate action is taken. Since publishing this interim final rule, the Department of the Navy has decided to revise the entire CFR part. That rulemaking will be pursued under RIN 0703-AA92. The finalization of that rule also will finalize the changes made in the interim final rule. For that reason, this RIN is withdrawn. The revisions to this rule will be reported in future status updates as part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed

Title: Reissuance and Issuance of Nationwide Permits

Abstract:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) issues nationwide permits to authorize specific categories of activities in jurisdictional waters and wetlands that have minimal individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects. Nationwide permits cannot be issued for a period of more than five years. The issuance and reissuance of nationwide permits must be done every five years to continue the Nationwide Permit Program. Currently, there are 50 nationwide permits, and those nationwide permits expire on March 18, 2017. In addition to proposing to reissue some or all of the 50 existing nationwide permits, the Corps may also propose to issue new nationwide permits to authorize categories of activities that are not authorized by the existing nationwide permits the Corps proposes to reissue. This action is for reissuing or issuing nationwide permits that would go into effect on March 19, 2017, to authorize regulated activities over the subsequent five years.

Title: Modification of Nationwide Permits

Abstract:

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) conducted a national programmatic Endangered Species Act consultation on the 2012 nationwide permits with the National Marine Fisheries Service. The National Marine Fisheries Service issued a biological opinion on November 24, 2014. In one of the protective measures in that biological opinion, the Corps is to conduct rulemaking to modify four existing nationwide permits to add pre-construction notification requirements for proposed activities that result in permanent fills that add impervious surface cover to watersheds inhabited by listed species under the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service. The four nationwide permits proposed to be modified authorize fills in jurisdictional waters and wetlands associated with utility lines (NWP 12), bank stabilization (NWP 13), linear transportation projects (NWP 14), and boat ramps (NWP 36).

Title: TRICARE; Reimbursement for Travel for Specialty Care Under Exceptional Circumstances

Abstract:

This rule implements section 634 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, which amends section 1074i of title 10, United States Code to permit reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses for active duty members of the uniformed services and their dependents, and accompaniment, to a specialty care provider under such exceptional circumstances as the Secretary of Defense may prescribe. The Department of Defense through its military treatment facilities and its robust managed care program, TRICARE Prime, is able to fulfill the medical needs of the majority of its active duty members and their families. However, in some locations where active duty members and their families live due to the duty assignment of the member, the medical resources in the military treatment facilities and the managed care networks may not meet all of the specialty care needs of these members and their families within normal access standards. Reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses for required specialty care that is more than 100 miles from the primary care manager's office is currently a benefit under paragraph (a) of section 1074i, title 10 United States Code for any covered beneficiary enrolled in the TRICARE Prime program, including the active duty members and their dependents. However, this proposed rule extends a travel reimbursement for active duty members of the armed forces and their families who, because of an exceptional circumstance involving the duty assignment of the active duty member of the armed forces, are required to travel less than 100 miles but more than 60 minutes in drive time to access needed specialty care. This travel reimbursement benefit is limited to those active duty members and their dependents, and accompaniment, enrolled in Prime or TRICARE Prime Remote. The Director, TRICARE Management Activity, shall issue procedures and guidelines under which authorization for reimbursement of travel expenses will be issued after verification that the member, family member, and/or accompaniment must travel less than 100 miles but more than 60 minutes' drive time from the military treatment facility or their primary care manager's office to receive required specialty care.

Title: TRICARE; Clarification of Coverage of Durable Equipment and Ordering/Prescribing Durable Equipment; Clarification of Assistive Technology Devices Benefit Under the Extended Care Health Option Program

Abstract:

The Department of Defense (DoD) proposed several amendments to the TRICARE regulation. Specifically, the proposed rule revises the definitions of durable equipment (DE) and durable medical equipment (DME) to better conform the language in the regulation to the statute; implementing the statutory requirements will not change current policies. This rule also adds a definition of assistive technology (AT) devices for purposes of benefit coverage under the TRICARE Extended Care Health Option (ECHO) Program, and removes the restriction under the TRICARE Basic Program that limits ordering or prescribing of DME to only a physician, to allow certain other authorized individual professional providers acting within the scope of their licensure to order or prescribe DME. Finally, the proposed rule incorporates a policy clarification relating to luxury, deluxe, or immaterial features of equipment or devices. Namely, TRICARE cannot reimburse for the luxury, deluxe, or immaterial features of equipment or devices. However, TMA can reimburse for the base or basic equipment or device that meet the beneficiary's needs. Beneficiaries may pay the provider for the luxury, deluxe, or immaterial features themselves, if they desire their equipment or device to have these extra features.

Title: TRICARE; Revision of Nonparticipating Providers Reimbursement Rate; Removal of Cost Share for Dental Sealants; TRICARE Dental Program

Abstract:

The Department of Defense (DoD) proposed several amendments to the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) regulation. Specifically, this rule revises the benefit payment provision for nonparticipating providers to more closely mirror industry practices by requiring TDP nonparticipating providers to be reimbursed (minus the appropriate cost-share) at the lesser of (1) billed charges, or (2) the network maximum allowable charge for similar services in that same locality (region) or state. This rule also updates the regulatory provisions regarding dental sealants to categorize them clearly as a preventive service and eliminate the current 20 percent cost-share applicable to sealants to conform the language in the regulation to the statute.

Title: TRICARE Retired Reserve for Members of the Retired Reserve

Abstract:

This rule established requirements and procedures for implementation of TRICARE Retired Reserve. It addressed provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (NDAA?10) (Pub. L. 111?84). The purpose of this rule is to establish the TRICARE Retired Reserve program that implements section 705 of the NDAA?10. Section 705 allows members of the Retired Reserve who are qualified for nonregular retirement, but are not yet 60 years of age, to qualify to purchase medical coverage equivalent to the TRICARE Standard (and Extra) benefit unless that member is either enrolled in, or is eligible to enroll in, a health benefit plan under chapter 89 of title 5, United States Code. The amount of the premium that qualified members pay to purchase these benefits will represent the full cost as determined on an appropriate actuarial basis for coverage under the TRICARE Standard (and Extra) benefit including the cost of the program administration. There will be one premium for member-only coverage, and a separate premium for member and family coverage. The rules and procedures otherwise outlined in 32 CFR part 199 relating to the operation and administration of the TRICARE Standard and Extra programs including the required cost-shares, deductibles, and catastrophic caps for retired members and their dependents apply to this program.

Title: Uniform Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Benefit--Prime Enrollment Fee Exemption

Abstract:

This rule created an exception to the usual rule that TRICARE Prime enrollment fees are uniform for all retirees and their dependents. Survivors of Active Duty Deceased Sponsors and Medically Retired Uniformed Services Members and their Dependents are part of the retiree group under TRICARE rules. In acknowledgment and appreciation of the sacrifices of these two beneficiary categories, the Secretary of Defense has elected to exercise his authority under Title 10 of the United States Code, section 1097(e) to exempt Active Duty Deceased Sponsors and Medically Retired Uniformed Services Members and their Dependents enrolled in TRICARE Prime from paying future increases to the TRICARE Prime annual enrollment fees. Section 1097(e) states, "The Secretary of Defense may prescribe by regulation a premium, deductible, co-payment, or other charge for health care provided under this section.” The Prime beneficiaries in these categories have made significant sacrifices for our country and are entitled to special recognition and benefits for their sacrifices. Therefore, the beneficiaries in these two TRICARE beneficiary categories who enrolled in TRICARE Prime prior to 10/1/2013 will have their annual enrollment fee frozen at their current annual rate (FY2011 rate $230 per single or $460 per family, FY2012 rate $260 or $520, or the FY2013 rate $269.38 or $538.56). The beneficiaries added to these categories on or after the effective date of this regulation will have their fee frozen at the rate in effect at the time they are classified in either category and enroll in TRICARE Prime or, if not enrolling, at the rate in effect at the time of enrollment. The fee remains frozen as long as at least one family member remains enrolled inTRICARE Prime and there is not a break in enrollment. The fee charged for the dependent(s) of a Medically Retired Uniformed Services Member would not change if the dependent(s) was later re-classified a Survivor.

Title: TRICARE; Coverage of Care Related to Non-Covered Initial Surgery or Treatment

Abstract:

The Department of Defense (DoD) published this rule to allow coverage for otherwise covered services and supplies required in the treatment of complications (unfortunate sequelae), as well as medically necessary and appropriate follow-on care, resulting from a non-covered incident of treatment provided pursuant to a properly granted Supplemental Health Care Program waiver.

This rule was necessary to protect TRICARE beneficiaries from incurring financial hardships due to the current regulatory restrictions that prohibit TRICARE coverage of the treatment of complications resulting from non-covered medical procedures, even when those procedures were provided while the beneficiary was an active duty member and were authorized by the Director, TRICARE Management Activity (TMA), based on a determination that a waiver authorizing the original non-covered surgery or treatment was necessary to assure adequate availability of health care to the active duty member. Additionally, with respect to care that is related to a non-covered initial surgery or treatment, the rule eliminated any confusion regarding what services and supplies will be covered by TRICARE, and under what circumstances they will be covered.

Title: Allowability of Legal Costs for Whistleblower Proceedings (DFARS Case 2013-D022)

Abstract:

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement a section of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 that amends the allowability of legal costs incurred by a contractor related to whistleblower proceedings. This rule implements paragraphs 827(g) and (i) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 113-239). Section 827(g) expanded the cost principle at 10 U.S.C. 2324(k) to apply the cost principle on allowability of costs related to legal and other proceedings to costs incurred by contractors in proceedings commenced by a contractor employee submitting a complaint under 10 U.S.C. 2409 (whistleblowing), and included as specifically unallowable legal costs of a proceeding that resulted in an order to take corrective action under 10 U.S.C. 2409. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because most contracts awarded to small entities are awarded on a competitive, fixed-price basis and do not require application of the cost principles contained in this rule.

Title: Inflation Adjustment of Acquisition?Related Thresholds (DFARS Case 2014-D025)

Abstract:

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to further implement 41 U.S.C. 1908, Inflation Adjustment of Acquisition-Related Dollar Thresholds. This statute requires an adjustment every five years of acquisition-related thresholds for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all urban consumers, except for the Construction Wage Rate Requirements statute (Davis-Bacon Act), Service Contract Labor Standards statute, and tradeagreements thresholds. DoD is also proposing to use the same methodology to adjust some nonstatutory DFARS acquisitionrelated thresholds in 2015. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the rule maintains the status quo by adjusting thresholds for actual inflationary increases in the CPI.

Title: Contractor Personnel Supporting U.S. Armed Forces Deployed Outside the United States (DFARS Case 2014-D023)

Abstract:

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to update the clause at 252.225-7040, Contractor Personnel Supporting U.S. Armed Forces Deployed Outside the United States. The objective of the

rule is to--

Clarify that both contractors authorized to accompany the Force (CAAF) and non-CAAF personnel must be made aware of information related to sexual assault offenses; Clarify that the section on reporting alleged crimes does not create any rights or privileges that are not authorized by law or DoD policy; Update the reference for special area, country, and theater clearance requirements for deploying personnel; Update the form used to show vaccinations are current; and Update the hyperlink to the Synchronized Predeployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) web-based system.

This rule is not expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the rule merely provides updates to references and links currently included DFARS clause 252.225-7040.

Title: Deletion of Text Implementing 10 U.S.C. 2323 (DFARS Case 2011-D038)

Abstract:

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS) to remove language based on 10 U.S.C. 2323. 10 U.S.C. 2323 expired on Sept. 30, 2009; therefore, the DFARS language that implemented this statute must be removed. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it does not change the fundamental procurement policies that DoD has used to achieve strong small and disadvantaged business participation or to encourage the involvement of historically black colleges and universities and minority-serving institutions in defense-related research, development, testing, and evaluation.

Title: Further Implementation of Trafficking in Persons Policy (DFARS Case 2013-D007)

Abstract:

DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to further implement DoD Trafficking in Persons policy to improve awareness, compliance, and enforcement. This case responds to concerns raised at congressional hearings on Combating Trafficking in Persons. FAR Clause 52.222-50, combating trafficking in persons, is required in all U.S. Government contracts. In 2011, DoD took initial steps to improve preparation for implementing combating trafficking in persons in DoD contracts by adding planning requirements and a new DFARS contract administration function for combating trafficking in persons. None of the requirements are expected to impose a significant economic burden on small business concerns.

Title: Business Systems Compliance (DFARS Case 2012-D042)

Abstract: DoD is proposing to amend the DFARS to require contractors to provide reports on their accounting systems, estimating systems, and material management and accounting systems regarding the contractor's compliance with the applicable DFARS system criteria, as a result of findings in pilot system accounting system audits conducted by the Defense Contract Audit Agency. The objective of the rule is to ensure that contractors assume appropriate responsibility for compliance with DFARS system criteria by requiring contractors to provide a report regarding compliance with the DFARS criteria based ona self-evaluation and an audit by an independent certified public accountant. The rule will apply to solicitations and contracts with large businesses for the purposes of reporting for accounting systems, estimating systems, and material management and accounting systems. DoD estimates that this rule will have no impact on small businesses, since contracts and subcontracts with small businesses are exempt from Cost Accounting Standards requirements.

The impact on small entities should be minor because these are not new requirements; the new DFARS clause merely clarifies that SPOT is the system to be used to record required data.

Title: Domestic Source Restrictions on Certain Naval Vessel Components (DFARS Case 2014-D022)

Abstract:

DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement the statutory domestic source restrictions on acquisition of certain naval vessel components. The rule revised DFARS 225.7010 to implement the domestic source restrictions in 10 U.S.C. 2534 on gyrocompasses, electronic navigation chart systems, steering controls, pumps, propulsion and machinery control systems, and totally enclosed lifeboats, to the extent they are unique to marine applications. These restrictions are currently implemented in the acquisition regulations of the Defense Logistics Agency and the Navy, the two DoD components that acquire such naval vessel components. The restrictions are now being incorporated into the DFARS because they affect more than one DoD component. DoD does not expect this rule to impact the public.

Title: Update Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Code Information (DFARS Case 2014-D013)

Abstract:

DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to remove duplicative Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code instructions and an associated clause, as a result of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) final rule 2012-024, Commercial and Government Entity Code. The FAR rule, which was published in the Federal Register at 79 FR 31187 on May 30, 2014, requires all offerors to obtain a CAGE code, which was previously only required for the DoD. The new FAR CAGE code requirement became effective on November 1, 2014, making the DFARS language at 204.72 and the clause at 252.204-7001 no longer necessary. These requirements affect only the internal operating procedures of the Government.Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Agenda Stage of Rulemaking: Completed Action

Title: Elimination of Quarterly Reporting of Actual Performance Outside the United States (DFARS Case 2015-D001)

Abstract:

DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to eliminate the requirement for quarterly reporting of actual contract performance outside the United States. As part of a DFARS streamlining initiative, DoD eliminated this reporting requirement at DFARS 252.225 -7006 and associated text in DFARS subpart 225.72. DoD did not publish this rule for public comment because the rule only eliminated obsolete text.

Title: Deletion of Obsolete Text Relating to Acquisition of Commercial Items (DFARS Case 2015-D002)

Abstract:

DoD issued a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to delete obsolete text relating to the acquisition of commercial items. DoD did not publish this rule for public comment, because it only deleted from the DFARS obsolete authorities for a program that expired September 30, 2010, and removed an outdated reference to the

FAR. These DFARS updates have no significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of the Government and do not impose a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors.

Title: Transporter Proof of Delivery

Abstract:

This rule establishes a clause for use in contracts that will allow the Government to require that contractors provide Transporter Proof of Delivery (TPD) when requested. As used in the clause, TPD means a commercial document that is generated by the contractor or the contractor’s transporter of supplies and is signed by the Government customer in order to document delivery of supplies under a contract or order. Not all Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) customers provide acknowledgement of receipt, which can lead to payment problems and negatively impact audit readiness. The TPD clause provides a mechanism for procuring alternative proof of delivery from affected contractors. TPD documentation will be used as evidential matter in support of the receipt and acceptance functions, which will facilitate the payment process and support timely payment, thus decreasing Prompt Payment Act interest charges against the Government. Due to extensive changes to the first proposed rule, a second proposed rule will be published.

The Military Services are required to provide legal counsel, known as Special Victims' Counsel, to assist victims of alleged sex-related offenses under Articles 120, 120a, 120b, and 120c of the UCMJ, who are eligible for legal assistance. The Military Services are also required to establish a special victim capability comprised of specially trained criminal investigators, judge advocates, paralegals, and victim witness assistance personnel to support victims of covered special victim offenses. To de-conflict with Special Victims' Counsel programs, this distinct group of recognizable professionals will be referred to, at the DoD level, as the Special Victim Investigation and Prosecution (SVIP) capability.

Title: Limitations on Terms of Consumer Credit Extended to Service Members and Dependents

Abstract:

The Department of Defense ("Department") is amending its regulation that implements the Military Lending Act, herein referred to as the "MLA." Among other protections for servicemembers, the MLA limits the amount of interest that a creditor may charge on "consumer credit" to a maximum annual percentage rate of 36 percent. The Department is amending its existing regulation primarily for the purpose of extending the protections of the MLA to a broader range of closed-end and open-end credit products, rather than the limited credit products currently defined as consumer credit. In addition, the Department is amending its existing regulation to amend the provisions governing a tool a creditor may use in assessing whether a consumer is a "covered borrower," modify the disclosures that a creditor must provide to a covered borrower, implement the enforcement provisions of the MLA, as amended, and for other purposes. The revisions to this rule are part of DoD's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed at: http://exchange.regulations.gov/exchange/topic/eo-13563.

Title: National Industrial Security Program

Abstract:

This DoD interim final rule assigns responsibilities and establishes requirements related to the National Industrial Security Program (NISP) to ensure maximum uniformity and effectiveness for both DoD and non-DoD Components, as defined in this rule, for which the Department serves as the Cognizant Security Agency (CSA) and provides industrial security services in accordance with Executive Order 12829, "National Industrial Security Program." This ensures maximum uniformity and effectiveness in DoD implementation of the National Industrial Security Program (NISP). The addition of this rule is part of DoD's retrospective plan, completed in August 2011, under Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review." Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of retrospective analysis of rules with its "look back" requirement, which states that "within 120 days of the date of this order, each agency shall develop...a preliminary plan." The plans should "facilitate the periodic review of rules that may be outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome, and to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned." This rule updates policy and procedures for industry that are more than 20 years old. DoD's full plan and updates can be accessed at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=DOD-2011-OS-0036.

Abstract:

The Department of Defense published a final rule on April 1, 2014 (79 FR 18161-18167). The rule became effective on May 1, 2014. The final rule updated policies and responsibilities for the Department of Defense Personnel Security Program (PSP) in accordance with the provisions of current U.S. Code, Public Laws, and Executive Orders.

Title: Removal of Program to Encourage Public and Community Service

Abstract:

This rule established policy, assigned responsibilities, and prescribed procedures to encourage and assist separating servicemembers, servicemembers retiring with 20 or more years of service, DoD civilian personnel leaving the Government, and spouses to enter public and community service employment. Additionally, it encouraged and assisted servicemembers requesting retirement with fewer than 20 years of service to register for public and community service employment. However, the Temporary Early Retirement Authority (TERA) officially expired in August 2008 (one year after the last official TERA recipient's enhanced retirement qualification period expired). TERA permitted selected personnel with more than 15 years, but less than 20 years of service, to retire and to accrue additional military retirement credits if they gained employment with qualifying Public and Community Service organizations. Since new Public and Community Service applications are no longer accepted, there is no need to continue this program.

This rule has been Overcome by Events (OBE). The rule is withdrawn.

Title: Audits of State and Local Governments, Institutions of Higher Education, and Other Nonprofit Institutions

Abstract:

This final rule removes 32 CFR part 266 concerning the audits of State and local governments, institutions of higher education, and other nonprofit institutions. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) provisions at 32 CFR part 266 contains policies and procedures directed at DoD component personnel and not the public. Additionally, other DoD guidance on this subject has been published in the Defense Grant and Agreement Regulations, codified at 32 CFR part 21 through 37, to provide appropriate notice to outside entities. Therefore, 32 CFR part 266 should be removed from the CFR.

The removal of this rule is part of DoD's retrospective plan under EO 13563 completed in August 2011. DoD's full plan can be accessed at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=DOD-2011-OS-0036.
