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, 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 January 7, 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 2014. In addition to this agenda, DoD components also publish rulemaking notices pertaining to 

their specific statutory administration requirements as required.

Regulations.gov Friday, May 23, 2014 Unified Agenda
 Starting with the fall 2007 edition, the Internet became the basic means for disseminating the Unified 

Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov, in a format that offers 

users the ability to obtain information from the Agenda database. 

 Because publication in the 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. 

3

Regulations.gov Friday, May 23, 2014 Unified Agenda
 DoD issuances range from DoD directives (reflecting departmental policy) to implementing instructions 

and regulations (largely internal and used to implement directives). The OSD agenda section contains the 

primary directives under which DoD components promulgate their implementing regulations. 

 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 issuances 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 issuances, 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.

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 will also finalize the changes made in the interim final rule. 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://exchange.regulations.gov/exchange/topic/eo-13563.

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) in regards to permitting 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 proposed 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

13

Regulations.gov Friday, May 23, 2014 Unified Agenda
enables 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 (DoN) is revising its rules of professional conduct and procedures for receiving,

processing, and taking action on complaints of professional misconduct made against attorneys practicing under the supervision

of the Judge Advocate General of the Navy (JAG), whether arising from professional legal activities in DoN proceedings and

matters, or arising from other, non-U.S. Government-related professional legal activities or personal misconduct that suggests

the attorney is ethically, professionally, or morally unqualified to perform legal services within the DoN; to prescribe limitations

on and procedures for processing requests to engage in the outside practice of law by those DoN attorneys practicing under the

supervision of the JAG; and to ensure quality legal services at all proceedings under the cognizance and supervision of the

JAG. The revision comports with current policy reflected in JAG Instruction 5803.1 (Series), professional conduct of attorneys

practicing under the cognizance and supervision of the Judge Advocate General. 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

Title: TRICARE Retired Reserve for Members of the Retired Reserve

Abstract: This rule establishes requirements and procedures for implementation of TRICARE Retired Reserve. It addresses

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 will

apply to this program.

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

Abstract: This proposed 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: Certified Mental Health Counselors

Abstract: This rule was published as an interim final rule (IFR) in order to meet the congressional requirement set forth in the

National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, section 724, which required the Department of Defense to

prescribe regulations by June 20, 2011, to establish the criteria, as had previously been studied in accordance with section 717

of the NDAA 2008, that would allow licensed or certified mental health counselors (MHCs) to be able to independently provide

care to TRICARE beneficiaries and receive payment for those services. Under current TRICARE requirements, MHCs are

authorized to practice only with physician referral and supervision. This IFR establishes a transition period to allow MHCs to

gain the requisite education, examination, and post-master's clinical experience for the new category of qualified mental health

professionals, TRICARE Certified Mental Health Counselors, who will be authorized to practice independently under TRICARE,

while phasing out the category of MHC who require referral and supervision from TRICARE authorized physicians.

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

Abstract: This proposed rule would establish an exception to the usual rule that TRICARE Prime enrollment fees are uniform

for the group of retirees and their dependents. Survivors and medically retired members are part of the retiree group under

TRICARE rules. This exception would allow survivors of active duty deceased sponsors and medically retired uniformed services

members and their dependents enrolled in Prime to be exempt from future increases in TRICARE Prime enrollment fees. The

Prime beneficiaries in these categories prior to Oct. 1, 2011, would have their annual enrollment fee frozen at the current rate of

$230 per single, and $460 per family. The beneficiaries added to these categories on or after Oct. 1, 2011 would have their fee

frozen at the rate in effect at the time they are classified in either category and enroll in 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 in 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 reclassified a survivor.

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: CHAMPUS/TRICARE: Pilot Program for Refills of Maintenance Medications for TRICARE For Life Beneficiaries Through

the TRICARE Mail Order Program

Abstract: This interim final rule implements section 716 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L.

112-239), which establishes a 5-year pilot program that would generally require TRICARE for Life beneficiaries to obtain all refill

prescriptions for covered maintenance medications from the TRICARE mail order program or military treatment facility

pharmacies. Covered maintenance medications are those that involve recurring prescriptions for chronic conditions, but do not

include medications to treat acute conditions. Beneficiaries may opt out of the pilot program after 1 year of participation. This

rule includes procedures to assist beneficiaries in transferring covered prescriptions to the mail-order pharmacy program. This

regulation is being issued as an interim final rule in order to comply with the express statutory intent that the program begin in

calendar year 2013.

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

Abstract: The Department of Defense (DoD) is publishing this proposed rule to allow coverage for otherwise covered services

Regulations.gov Friday, May 23, 2014 Unified Agenda
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 proposed rule is 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 noncovered 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 proposed rule seeks

to eliminate any confusion regarding what services and supplies will be covered by TRICARE, and under what circumstances

they will be covered.

Title: TRICARE; Removal of the Prohibition to Use Medications With Addictive Potential in the Maintenance Treatment of

Substance Dependence in TRICARE Beneficiaries

Abstract: This rule proposes revisions to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) title 32, section 199.4(e) to remove the

exclusion of drug abuse maintenance programs and allow, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for an individual with

substance dependence, the substitution of a therapeutic drug with addictive potential for a drug of addiction (e.g. the

substitution of methadone for heroin). The current regulation prohibits drug maintenance programs where one addictive

substance is substituted for another. However, this prohibition of maintenance treatment of substance dependence utilizing a

specific category of psychoactive agent is outdated, and fails to recognize the accumulated medical evidence supporting certain

maintenance programs as one component of the continuum of care necessary for the effective treatment of substance

dependence. Current medical evidence shows that this is medically or psychologically necessary, and integral to the safe and

effective treatment of drug abuse as is generally required for all treatment benefits under 32 CFR 199.4(g)(15) for inclusion in

the TRICARE benefit.

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 (MMAS) 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 contractor's assume appropriate responsibility for compliance

with DFARS system criteria by requiring contractors to provide a report regarding compliance with the DFARS criteria based on

a self-evaluation and an audit by an independent certified public accountant. The rule will apply to solicitations and contracts

that are with large businesses for the purposes of reporting for 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 (CAS) requirements.

Title: Performance-Based Payments (DFARS Case 2011-D045)

Abstract: DoD is issuing an interim rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to provide

detailed guidance and instructions on the use of the performance-based payments (PBP) analysis tool. The PBP analysis tool is

a cash-flow model for evaluating alternative financing arrangements, and is required to be used by all contracting officers

contemplating the use of PBPs on new fixed-price type contract awards resulting from solicitations issued on or after July 1,

2011. This rule will help ensure that performance-based payments never exceed total cost incurred at any point during the

contract. The PBP analysis tool calculates improved financing opportunities that will provide benefit to both industry (prime and

subcontractor level) and the taxpayer. No significant impact on small entities is anticipated because requiring use of the PBP

tool does not require contractors to expend significant effort or cost.

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

Title: Requirements Relating to Supply Chain Risk (DFARS Case 2012-D050)

31

Regulations.gov Friday, May 23, 2014 Unified Agenda
Abstract: DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement section 806 of the

National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2011 (Pub. L. 111-383), entitled "Requirements for Information

Relating to Supply Chain Risk," as amended by section 806 of the NDAA for FY 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239). Section 806 allows

DoD to consider the impact of supply chain risk in specified types of procurements related to national security systems. The

objective of this rule is to protect DoD against risks arising out of the supply chain. DoD does not expect this interim rule to

have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Title: Contractor Personnel Supporting U.S. Armed Forces Deployed Outside the United States (DFARS Case 2013-D015)

Abstract: DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to align it with revisions to the

DoD Instruction on operational contract support. This rule revises and updates the prescription and clause at DFARS 252.225-

7040, currently titled "Contractor Personnel Authorized to Accompany U.S. Armed Forces Deployed Outside the United States,"

to align it with the changes in applicability, terminology, and other revisions made by Department of Defense Instruction 3020.41,

titled "Operational Contract Support." DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a significant

number of small entities, because it impacts only businesses providing direct support to U.S. Armed Forces that are deployed

outside the United States.

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

Abstract: DoD is amending 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) expands 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 include as specifically

unallowable legal costs of a proceeding that results 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: Private Sector Notification Requirements of In-Sourcing Actions (DFARS Case 2012-D036)

Abstract: DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement a section of the

National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2012 regarding private sector notification of in-sourcing actions. This rule

revises DFARS 237.102-79 to implement section 938 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2012 regarding

private sector notification of in-sourcing actions. Section 938 of the NDAA requires the Secretary of Defense to establish

procedures for the timely notification of any contractor who performs a function that the Secretary plans to convert (in-source) to

performance by DoD civilian employees and provide the congressional defense committees a copy of any such notification.

DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant impact on small entities, because it impacts only those incumbent contractors

for which an in-sourcing determination has been made.

Title: Safeguarding Unclassified Controlled Technical Information (DFARS Case 2011-D039)

Abstract: DoD issued an interim rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to add a

DFARS subpart and associated contract clauses to address requirements for the safeguarding of unclassified information within

contractor information systems as specified in Executive Order 13556, Controlled Unclassified Information. DoD published an

advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR), and notice of public meeting in the Federal Register at 75 FR 9563 on March

3, 2010, to provide the public an opportunity for input into the initial rulemaking process. A proposed DFARS rule was published

in the Federal Register at 76 FR 38089 on June 29, 2011, to implement adequate security measures to safeguard unclassified

DoD information within contractor information systems from unauthorized access and disclosure, and to prescribe reporting to

DoD with regard to certain cyber intrusion events that affect DoD information resident on or transiting through contractor

unclassified information systems. After comments were received on the proposed rule it was decided that the scope of the rule

would be modified to reduce the information covered. This rule addresses safeguarding requirements that cover only

unclassified controlled technical information, and reporting the compromise of unclassified controlled technical information. DoD

anticipates this rule may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Title: Item Unique Identifier Update (DFARS Case 2011-D055)

Abstract: DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to update and clarify requirements

of unique identification and valuation of items delivered under DoD contracts. The rule revised the applicable prescription and

contract clause at DFARS 252.211-7003 to reflect the current identification and valuation requirements. Item unique

identification and valuation is a system of marking, valuing, and tracking items delivered to DoD that enhances logistics,

contracting, and financial business transactions supporting the U.S. and coalition troops. DoD does not expect this rule to have

a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the changes being made do not increase the

burden of the item unique identification requirements, nor do they cause the requirement to be applicable to any additional small

businesses.

Title: Unallowable Fringe Benefit Costs (DFARS Case 2012-D038)

Abstract: DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to explicitly state that fringe benefit

costs incurred or estimated that are contrary to law, employer-employee agreement, or an established policy of the contractor

are unallowable. This rule amended the DFARS at 231.205-6 by adding paragraph (m)(1) to explicitly state that fringe benefit

costs incurred or estimated that are contrary to law, employer-employee agreement, or an established policy of the contractor

are unallowable. DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities

within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., because this rule merely provides explicit clarification

regarding the unallowability of fringe benefit costs incurred or estimated.

Title: New Free Trade Agreement--Panama (DFARS Case 2012-D044)

Abstract: DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) part 252 to implement the United

States-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 112¬43)(19 U.S.C. 3805 note). This Trade Promotion

Agreement is a free-trade agreement that provides for mutually non-discriminatory treatment of eligible products and services

from Panama. The agreement covers acquisitions of supplies and services equal to or exceeding $202,000. The agreement

provides for (1) waiver of the applicability of the Buy American statute (41 U.S.C. chapter 83) for some foreign supplies and

construction materials from Panama; and (2) applicability of specified procurement procedures designed to ensure fairness in

the acquisition of supplies and services (see FAR 25.408). DoD does not anticipate any significant economic impact on U.S.

small businesses. The DoD only applies the trade agreements to the non-defense items listed at DFARS 225.401-70, and

acquisitions that are set aside or provide other forms of preference for small businesses are exempt.

Title: Preparation of Letter of Offer and Acceptance (DFARS Case 2012-D048)

Abstract: This rule amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to outline the contracting

officer's responsibilities when assisting the DoD implementing agency in the preparation of the letter of offer and acceptance for

a foreign military sale (FMS) that results in a contract. Letters of offer and acceptance are used by the U.S. Government to

document FMS agreements. DoD is amending DFARS 225.7302 to revise and move the text at DFARS Procedures, Guidance,

and Instruction (PGI) 225.7302(1) into the DFARS. This action is necessary because the directions to the contracting officer at

PGI 225.7302(1) may have impact on prospective contractors, and therefore require relocation to the DFARS. DoD does not

expect the rule will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.

Title: Only One Offer--Further Implementation (DFARS Case 2013-D001)

Abstract: DoD amended the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to further implement DoD policy

relating to competitive acquisitions in which only one offer is received, providing additional exceptions, and further addressing

requests for data other than certified cost or pricing data from the Canadian Commercial Corporation. The objective of the rule is

to promote competition and ensure fair and reasonable prices by implementing DoD policy with regard to acquisitions when only

one offer is received, including the Canadian Commercial Corporation. DoD does not anticipate that this rule will have a

significant impact on small entities.

Title: Clauses With Alternates--Transportation (DFARS Case 2012-D057)

Abstract: DoD is amending the DFARS to create an overarching prescription for each set of transportation-related

provisions/clauses with one or more alternates. The rule adds a separate prescription for the basic clause as well as each

alternate. In addition, the rule would include the full text of each provision/clause alternate. For clarity, the preface of the

alternate will continue to explain what portions of that alternate are different from the basic provision/clause. DoD does not

expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it merely revises the

format, not the substance, of prescriptions for provisions and clauses with alternates, as well as includes the full text of each

provision or clause in each alternate.

Title: Enhancement of Contractor Employee Whistleblower Protections (DFARS Case 2013-D010)

Abstract: DoD is amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to implement statutory

the whistleblower protections for contractor employees as modified by section 827 of the National Defense Authorization Act for

Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239, enacted Jan. 2, 2013). DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities, because the rule neither changes the substance of contract or solicitation procedures

or policies nor creates a whistleblower protection for contractor employees.

Title: Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Privacy Program

Abstract: This part provides policies and procedures for the Defense Contract Management Agency's (DCMA) implementation

of a privacy program under the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. It is DCMA policy that individuals have a fundamental right to

privacy and the expectation that this Agency, including contractors, will safeguard personally identifiable information (PII) it

maintains to the maximum extent practicable. This part reinforces that policy and ensures that DCMA shall balance the right of

the individual to be protected against unwarranted invasions of personal privacy against agency need when setting any

requirement to collect, maintain, use, and disseminate PII, ensuring that such activities are relevant and necessary to achieve a

purpose required by statute, executive order, or regulation. 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:

Title: Withholding of Unclassified Technical Data From Public Disclosure

53

Regulations.gov Friday, May 23, 2014 Unified Agenda
Abstract: This part establishes policy, prescribes procedures, and assigns responsibilities for the dissemination and

withholding of technical data pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 130. Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 130 and 133, the Secretary of Defense may

withhold from public disclosure, notwithstanding any other provision of law, any technical data with military or space application

in the possession of, or under the control of the DoD, if such data may not be exported lawfully without an approval,

authorization, or license in accordance with Executive Order 13222 or pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act of 1976.

However, technical data may not be withheld under this section if regulations promulgated under either Executive Order 13222

or the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 authorize the export of such data pursuant to a general or unrestricted license or,

exemption in such regulations. Because public disclosure of technical data subject to this part is tantamount to providing

uncontrolled foreign access, withholding such data from public disclosure, unless approved, authorized, or licensed in

accordance with export control laws, is necessary and in the national interest. Unclassified technical data that are not governed

by this part, unless otherwise restricted, shall continue to be made available to the public as well as to State and local

governments. 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: Identification (ID) Cards for Members of the Uniformed Services, Their Dependents, and Other Eligible Individuals

Abstract: The Department of Defense (DoD) proposes to establish policy, assign responsibilities, and provide procedures for

the issuing of distinct DoD ID cards. The ID cards shall be issued to uniformed servicemembers, their dependents, and other

eligible individuals and will be used as proof of identity and DoD affiliation. This rule extends benefits to same-sex spouses of

military service members and DoD civilians, at the direction of the President and the Secretary of Defense, based on the June

26, 2013, U.S. Supreme Court decision to repeal section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act. Additionally, the Department has

identified family member and dependent benefits that may lawfully be provided to same-sex domestic partners of eligible DoD

civilian employees and other eligible individuals and their children through modifications to DoD policies and regulations. These

benefits are extended to same-sex domestic partners and, where applicable, children of same-sex domestic partners, once DoD

civilian or other eligible individual and their same-sex domestic partner have signed the appropriate declaration attesting to the

establishment of their same-sex domestic partnership.

Title: Alternative Dispute Resolution

Abstract: This rule establishes policy and assigns responsibilities. It establishes a framework for encouraging the expanded

use of alternative means of dispute resolution and conflict management practices as an integral part of normal business

practices within the Department of Defense. Alternative dispute resolution is any procedure that is used to resolve issues in

controversy, including, but not limited to, conciliation, facilitation, mediation, fact finding, mini-trials, arbitration, and use of

ombuds, or any combination thereof. The purpose of conflict management is to reduce the incidence of disputes and increase

the likelihood that disputes that do arise may be resolved efficiently, effectively, and expeditiously. The revisions to this rule are

Title: DoD Personnel Security Program (PSP): Investigations for National Security Positions and Duties

Abstract: This interim final rule prescribes procedures for investigations of individuals seeking to hold national security

positions or perform national security duties who are required to complete Standard Form (SF) 86, "Questionnaire for National

Security Positions," for the personnel security investigations (PSIs). This rule does not provide investigative instructions for

individuals in nonsensitive or public trust positions. An interim final rule is required to update DoD's procedures pertaining to

requests for background investigations in support of national security eligibility determinations. The existing regulation is now

more than 26 years old, and procedures that have since evolved need to be incorporated into new manuals. Issuance of these

procedures ensures that DoD components carry out their responsibilities for the DoD Personnel Security Program consistently,

efficiently, and fairly. DoD Manual 5200.02, Volume 1 replaces select paragraphs of the DoD 5200.02-R, "Personnel Security

Program," dated January 1987, that pertain to investigative requirements. Volume 1 updates responsibilities and procedures for

requests for investigations required for national security eligibility determinations and incorporates many requirements

established and implemented through Executive Branch and DoD memoranda issued from 1987 to present. Procedures have

also been updated to reflect changes in national level policy and advances in information technology used in the DoD Personnel

Security Program.

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 (EO) 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:

Title: Operational Contract Support

Abstract: In accordance with Public Law 110-181 and Public Law 110-417, DoD is revising policy and assigning

responsibilities for program management of operational contract support (OCS) in contingency operations and integration of

DoD contractor personnel into military contingency operations outside the United States. An interim final rule is required to

procedurally close gaps and ensure the correct planning, oversight, and management of DoD contractors supporting

contingency operations, by updating the existing outdated policy. The existing policies are causing significant confusion, as they

do not reflect current practices and legislative mandates. The apparent mismatch between local Geographic Command guidance

and the DoD-wide policies and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement is confusing for those in the field--in

particular policy with regard to accountability and visibility requirements. Since the Presidential decision to expand the number

of troops in Afghanistan and the subsequent increase of troops and contractors in theater, this issue has become so significant

that DoD needs to revise the DoD-wide policies as a matter of urgency.

Title: Mission Compatibility Evaluation Process

Abstract: The Department of Defense (DoD) is issuing this interim final rule to implement section 358 of the Ike Skelton

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, Public Law 111-383. That section requires that the DoD issue

procedures addressing the impacts upon military operations of certain types of structures if they pose an unacceptable risk to

84

Regulations.gov Friday, May 23, 2014 Unified Agenda
the national security of the United States. The structures addressed are those for which an application is required to be filed with

the Secretary of Transportation under section 44718 of title 49, United States Code. Section 358 also requires the designation

of a lead organization to coordinate DoD review of applications for projects filed with the Secretary of Transportation pursuant to

section 44718, and received by the Department of Defense from the Secretary of Transportation. Section 358 also requires the

designation of certain officials by the Secretary of Defense to perform functions pursuant to the section and this implementing

rule. Section 358 also requires the establishment of a comprehensive strategy for addressing military impacts of renewable

energy projects and other energy projects, with the objective of ensuring that the robust development of renewable energy

sources and the expansion of the commercial electrical grid may move forward in the United States, while minimizing or

mitigating any adverse impacts on military operations and readiness. Implementing that requirement, however, is not required at

this time and is not part of this rule. Other aspects of section 358 not required at this time, such as annual reports to Congress,

are also not addressed in this rule. Nor does this rule deal with other clearance processes not included in section 358, such as

those applied by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior.

Title: Voluntary Education Programs

Abstract: In this proposed rule, the Department of Defense (DoD) discusses new policy, responsibilities, and procedures for

the operation of voluntary education programs within DoD. The new policies discussed in the rule include the following: All

educational institutions providing education programs through the DoD Tuition Assistance (TA) Program will provide meaningful

information to students about the financial cost and attendance at an institution, so military students can make informed

decisions on where to attend school; not use unfair, deceptive, and abusive recruiting practices; and provide academic and

student support services to servicemembers and their families. New criteria are created to strengthen existing procedures for

access to military installations by educational institutions. An annual review and notification process is required if there are

changes made to the uniform semester-hour (or equivalent) TA caps and annual TA ceilings. Military departments will be

required to provide their servicemembers with a joint services transcript (JST). The DoD Postsecondary Education Complaint

System is implemented for servicemembers, spouses, and adult family members to register student complaints. The Military

departments are authorized to establish service-specific TA eligibility criteria and management controls.
