Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 57 / Thursday, March 26, 2009 / Notices 13199 

reasonable (1, 3, or 5 years)? If more 

than a one-year term, could 

retrospective pricing be a reasonable 

approach based on the profit/loss ratio? 

h. Subcontractors. Do you recommend 

that subcontractors obtain their own 

individual policies, or do you 

recommend that the prime contractor 

purchase the insurance for all its 

subcontractors (at all tiers)? 

i. DBA Data. Please provide 

recommendations on how DoD can best 

collect, analyze, and act on relevant 

DBA data from various sources to 

optimize its understanding and tracking 

of DBA costs and trends and put DoD in 

the most favorable negotiating position. 

j. Medical Care. Please provide data 

and analysis on the costs of finding 

sources of adequate medical care for 

countries where the standard of care is 

insufficient. 

k. Contracting Entity. If DoD procures 

DBA coverage (vs. contractors 

procuring), should DoD be contracting 

with broker(s) or carrier(s) or some 

combination of the two? 

l. Discounts. By including DBA 

insurance with other insurance 

coverage, what type of discount is 

typically obtained on DBA insurance? 

m. Impact of Safety Record. How does 

a contractor’s safety record affect 

insurance rates—does it have a 

significant impact? How much of a 

discount is normally offered for a good 

safety record? 

n. Maximum Mandated DBA Rates. 

What is your position on DoD 

mandating maximum DBA rates based 

upon job description (classification), 

geography (e.g., Iraq vs. Germany) and 

loss experience? What would be your 

response to having to file your proposed 

rates with DoD for approval each year, 

based upon your own individual loss 

experience and trending? 

o. WHA Claims. Please provide the 

percent of DBA claims that are initially 

believed to be War Hazard Act (WHA) 

claims. Please provide the percent of 

initial WHA claims that are later 

determined by DoL not to be WHA 

claims. How long on average does it take 

DoL to settle and reimburse the 

insurance carrier for WHA claims? 

Typically, does DoL pay the entire WHA 

claim amount the carrier submits—if 

not, what is the average percent? 

4. Specific Questions for DoD 

Contractors 

In addition to the questions in 1 and 

2 above soliciting information from all 

interested parties, DoD would 

appreciate additional responses from 

DoD contractors to the following 

questions: 

a. Current Practice. How do you 

acquire your DBA coverage today? Do 

you purchase insurance or are you an 

approved self-insurer for this coverage? 

b. Purchased Insurance. If you 

purchase your DBA insurance, is it: (a) 

Acquired through a stand-alone 

insurance policy; (b) acquired through a 

multi-line insurance program with DBA 

coverage separately priced; or (c) 

acquired through a multi-line insurance 

program with DBA coverage not 

separately priced? 

c. Supplemental Coverage. Do you 

supplement the standard DBA coverage 

for employees with medical assistance 

or additional life or disability coverage? 

Do you do so: (a) For all DBA covered 

employees; or (b) only for specific 

categories of employees? Are the 

premiums for any such coverage: (a) 

Paid for in full by the company; (b) paid 

for in part by the company and in part 

by the employee; or (c) paid in full by 

the employee? 

d. Subcontractors. Do you recommend 

that subcontractors obtain their own 

individual policies, or do you 

recommend that the prime contractor 

purchase the insurance for all its 

subcontractors (at all tiers)? 

e. Discounts. By including DBA 

insurance with other insurance 

coverage, what type of discount is 

typically obtained on DBA insurance? 

f. Impact of Safety Record. How does 

a contractor’s safety record affect 

insurance rates—does it have a 

significant impact? How much of a 

discount is normally offered for a good 

safety record?

Respondents and frequency of 

collection; and (6) Reporting and/or

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be
