Unilever-Bestfoods, Lipton, Conopco,

Inc., Dallas, Texas; Amended

Certification Regarding Eligibility To

Apply for NAFTA-Transitional

Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 250(A),

Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the

Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273), the

Department of Labor issued a

Certification for NAFTA Transitional

Adjustment Assistance on February 5,

2001, applicable to workers of UnileverBestfoods, Lipton, Dallas, Texas. The

notice was published in the Federal

Register on March 2, 2001 (66 FR

13087).

At the request of the State agency, the

Department reviewed the certification

for workers of the subject firm. The

workers are engaged in the production

of 50 pound bulk margarine cubes. New

information shows that some workers

separated from employment at UnileverBestfoods, Lipton had their wages

reported under a separate

unemployment insurance (UI) tax

account for Conopco, Inc., a company

established by the subject firm to handle

worker compensation nationwide.

Accordingly, the Department is

amending the certification to properly

reflect this matter.

The intent of the Department’s

certification is to include all workers of

Unilever-Bestfoods, Lipton, who were

adversely affected by a shift of

production of margarine to Canada.

The amended notice applicable to

NAFTA–04392 is hereby issued as

follows:

All workers of Unilever-Bestfoods, Lipton,

Conopco, Inc., Dallas, Texas, who became

totally or partially separated from

employment on or after December 5, 1999,

through February 5, 2003, are eligible to

apply for NAFTA–TAA under Section 250 of

the Trade Act of 1974.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of

Office of Federal Procurement Policy;

Determination of Executive

Compensation Benchmark Amount

Pursuant to Section 808 of Public Law

105–85

AGENCY: Office of Federal Procurement

Policy, OMB.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) is hereby publishing

the attached memorandum to heads of

agencies concerning the determination

of the maximum ‘‘benchmark’’

compensation that will be allowable

under government contracts during

contractors’ FY 2001—$374,228. This

determination is required to be made

pursuant to section 808 of Pub. L. 105–

85. It applies equally to both defense

and civilian procurement agencies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Richard C. Loeb, Executive Secretary,

Cost Accounting Standards Board, OFPP

on (202) 395–3254.

Sean O’Keefe,

Deputy Director.

To The Heads of Executive Departments and

Agencies

Subject: Determination of Executive

Compensation Benchmark Amount

Pursuant to Section 808 of Pub. L. 105–85

This memorandum sets forth the

‘‘benchmark compensation amount’’ as

required by section 39 of the Office of

Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Act (41

U.S.C. 435), as amended. Under section 39,

the ‘‘benchmark compensation amount’’ is

‘‘the median amount of the compensation

provided for all senior executives of all

benchmark corporations for the most recent

year for which data is available.’’ The

‘‘benchmark compensation amount’’

established as directed by section 39 limits

the allowability of compensation costs under

government contracts. The ‘‘benchmark

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 86 / Thursday, May 3, 2001 / Notices 22267

compensation amount’’ does not limit the

compensation that an executive may

otherwise receive.

Based on a review of commercially

available surveys of executive compensation

and after consultation with the Director of

the Defense Contract Audit Agency, I have

determined pursuant to the requirements of

section 39 that the benchmark compensation

amount for contractor fiscal year 2001 is

$374,228. This benchmark compensation

amount is to be used for contractor fiscal year

2001, and subsequent contractor fiscal years,

unless and until revised by OMB. This

benchmark compensation amount applies to

contract costs incurred after January 1, 2001,

under covered contracts of both the defense

and civilian procurement agencies as

specified in section 808 of Pub. L. 105–85.

Questions concerning this memorandum

may be addressed to Richard C. Loeb,

Executive Secretary, Cost Accounting

Standards Board, OFPP, on (202) 395–3254.

Deputy Director.
