DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Notice of One-Year Extension of 

TRICARE Co-Pay Waiver at Captain 

James A. Lovell Federal Health Care 

Center Demonstration Project 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice of one-year extension of 

TRICARE co-pay waiver at Captain 

James A. Lovell Federal Health Care 

Center Demonstration Project. 

SUMMARY: This notice is to advise 

interested parties of a one-year 

extension of a demonstration project 

entitled ‘‘TRICARE Co-Pay Waiver at 

Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health 

Care Center (FHCC) Demonstration 

Project.’’ The original waiver notice was 

published on September 27, 2010 (75 FR 

59237). 

DATES: Effective Date: This one-year 

extension will be effective from October 

1, 2015 to September 30, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Michael Bouchard, Director, DoD/VA 

Program Coordination Office, Defense 

Health Agency, Telephone 703–681– 

4258. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

For additional information on the 

TRICARE co-pay waiver demonstration 

at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal 

Health Care Center (FHCC) 

demonstration project, please see 75 FR 

59237. Under this demonstration, there 

would be no deductibles, cost shares, or 

co-pays for eligible beneficiaries seeking 

care at the FHCC, under the authority of 

10 U.S.C. 1092(a)(1)(B). The original 

demonstration notice explained that the 

co-pay waiver demonstration would be 

used to determine if increased 

utilization at FHCC actually occurred as 

a result of eliminated co-payments, 

which would in turn influence 

decisions regarding financial integration 

at future Department of Defense (DoD)/ 

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 

models of this nature. This 

demonstration is also integral to the 

success of the integration effort at 

FHCC; without it, FHCC would see a 

marked reduction in DoD beneficiaries. 

B. Description of Extension of 

Demonstration Project 

Under this demonstration, DoD has 

waived TRICARE co-payments for DoD 

beneficiaries seen at the FHCC. The 

FHCC demonstration project is 

scheduled to end on September 30, 

2015. The National Defense

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 45 / Monday, March 9, 2015 / Notices 12461 

Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal 

year (FY) 2010 section 1701 requires a 

report to Congress evaluating the 

exercise of authorities in that title, 

which is due on October 28, 2015. 

Therefore, DoD submitted a legislative 

proposal to extend the funding of the 

FHCC demonstration project for an 

additional year, through September 30, 

2016, in order to fully assess the FHCC 

demonstration project, develop and 

submit the final report, and execute the 

results of the report. In order to allow 

seamless continuation of services to 

beneficiaries at FHCC, the TRICARE copay waiver is also extended through 

September 30, 2016 to align with the 

extension of the funding for the FHCC 

demonstration project. This waiver 

applies to all inpatient, outpatient, and 

ancillary services, and all outpatient 

prescription drugs provided at FHCC. 

This waiver is consistent with current 

policies and procedures followed at all 

military treatment facilities. According 

to an Independent Government Cost 

Estimate (IGCE), it is estimated that the 

one-year impact for the co-pay waiver in 

FY 2016 is $121,720, which is slightly 

higher than the original demonstration 

notice due to an underlying trend of 

increased utilization over time. 

C. Evaluation 

An independent evaluation will 

continue to be conducted as part of the 

overall FHCC evaluation required by 

NDAA FY2010 section 1701.

Announcement of Federal Funding 

Opportunity (FFO) 

AGENCY: Office of Economic Adjustment 

(OEA), Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Federal funding opportunity 

anouncement. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces an 

opportunity to request funding from the 

Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA), 

a Department of Defense (DoD) field 

activity, for community planning 

assistance and economic diversification 

in response to major reductions or 

cancellations in DoD spending, 

including the cancellation or 

termination of DoD contracts or failure 

to proceed with a major weapon system 

program. Assistance may be granted if 

the DoD action has a direct and 

significant adverse effect on a 

community or its residents. This notice 

includes proposal submission 

requirements and instructions, 

eligibility, and selection criteria that 

will be used to evaluate proposals from 

eligible respondents. OEA grants to a 

state or local government may result 

from any proposal submitted under this 

notice, subject to the availability of 

appropriations. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Economic Adjustment (OEA), 

Department of Defense (DoD). 

b. Funding Opportunity Title: 

Community Economic Adjustment 

Assistance for Reductions in Defense 

Industry Employment. 

c. Announcement Type: Modification 

of Previously Announced Federal 

Funding Opportunity (79 FR 28914). 

d. Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) Number & Title: 

12.611, Community Economic 

Adjustment Assistance for Reductions 

in Defense Industry Employment. 

e. Key Dates: Proposals will be 

considered on a continuing basis. OEA 

will evaluate all proposal documents 

and requests, and provide a response to 

the respondent within 30 business days 

of OEA’s receipt of a final and complete 

proposal. 

I. Period of Funding Opportunity 

Proposals will be considered on a 

continuing basis, subject to the 

availability of appropriations, 

commencing on the date of publication 

of this notice. 

II. Funding Opportunity 

a. Program Description 

OEA is a DoD Field Activity 

authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2391 to 

provide assistance to state or local 

governments, and entities of state and 

local governments, including regional 

governmental organizations, to plan and 

carry out community adjustments and 

economic diversification activities in 

response to the cancellation or 

termination of a DoD contract; the 

failure to proceed with an approved 

major weapon system program; or the 

publicly announced planned major 

reduction in DoD spending. States may 

request assistance to enhance their 

capacity to assist adversely affected 

communities, businesses, and workers; 

support local adjustment and 

diversification initiatives; and stimulate 

cooperation between statewide and 

local adjustment and diversification 

efforts. 

The objectives of OEA’s Defense 

Industry Adjustment (DIA) Assistance 

Program are to assist States and local 

governments to plan and carry out 

community adjustments and economic 

diversification activities in response to 

reductions in defense industry 

employment. Unlike base closures 

where surplus property can be reused as 

part of a broader program to replace lost 

jobs and expand the local tax base, 

OEA’s support for communities 

impacted by factory closures and laidoff employees focuses on developing 

community adjustments and 

diversification strategies concentrating 

on workforce skills, opportunities for 

manufacturing investment/expansion, 

and adaptability of local plant and 

capital. 

These strategies usually focus on 

regional job creation through business 

development, attraction and expansion, 

workforce development, and 

community economic diversification. 

Additionally, during the planning 

process, OEA also coordinates with and 

provides information on other relevant 

federal assistance programs that can 

support coordinated economic 

development efforts. 

OEA is accepting proposals for grant 

assistance to support communities and 

regions to organize, plan, and carry out 

local economic adjustment programs. 

Proposals will be evaluated against the 

eligibility criteria provided in Section II, 

c of this notice and the selection criteria 

provided in Section E of this notice by 

OEA staff in coordination with 

representatives from the U.S. 

Department of Commerce and U.S. 

Department of Labor, as well as other 

Federal agencies as invited by OEA. 

OEA will notify the respondent within 

thirty (30) days of receipt of a proposal 

whether their proposal was successful. 

The successful proposer will then be 

invited to submit an application through 

OEA’s eGrants system. Additional 

details about the review and selection 

process is provided in Section II, e of 

the FFO. 

The final amount of each award will 

be determined by OEA based upon a 

review of the final grant application, as 

well as comments from other Federal 

agencies, and will be subject to 

availability of funds. 

b. Federal Award Information 

Awards under this FFO will be issued 

in the form of a grant agreement. In 

accordance with 31 U.S.C. 6304 a grant 

is defined as the legal instrument 

reflecting a relationship between the 

United States Government and a State,
