SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

Title 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 

4121 authorizes the Secretary of 

Defense, through OUSD(R&E), to 

exercise the authorities granted to the 

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 

under 5 U.S.C. 4703 to conduct 

personnel demonstration projects at 

DoD laboratories designated as STRLs. 

All STRLs authorized pursuant to 10 

U.S.C. 4121 may use the provisions 

described in this FRN. STRLs 

implementing these flexibilities must 

have an approved personnel 

demonstration project plan published in 

an FRN and must fulfill any collective 

bargaining obligations. Each STRL will 

establish internal operating procedures 

as appropriate. 

The 21 current STRLs are: 

• Air Force Research Laboratory 

• Joint Warfare Analysis Center 

• Army Futures Command 

• Army Research Institute for the 

Behavioral and Social Sciences 

• U.S. Army Combat Capabilities 

Development Command’s Armaments 

Center

2. Overview 

I. Introduction 

A. Purpose 

Some STRLs have adopted 

supplemental pay flexibilities that are 

based on the OPM special salary rate 

tables that provide for higher salaries 

than the General Schedule (GS) tables. 

This supplemental pay flexibility 

permits STRLs to independently 

establish supplemental pay rates based 

on market conditions to help STRLs 

attract, recruit, and retain a high caliber 

workforce. Competing with private 

sector compensation is particularly 

challenging, especially in emerging 

mission areas such as hypersonics, 

autonomy, cybersecurity, and data 

science. This flexibility may not be used 

in conjunction with any statutory 

enhanced pay authority, such as the pay 

authority for Senior Scientific Technical 

Managers in 10 U.S.C. 4091, or the pay 

authority for Experts in Science and 

Engineering in 10 U.S.C. 4092. 

B. Required Waivers to Law and 

Regulation 

Waivers and adaptations of certain 

title 5 U.S.C. and title 5 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) provisions are 

required only to the extent that these 

statutory and regulatory provisions limit 

or are inconsistent with the actions 

authorized under these demonstration 

projects. Title 10 U.S.C. 4121(a)(5) states 

that the limitations on pay fixed by 

administrative action in 5 U.S.C. 5373 

do not apply to the STRL demonstration 

project authority to prescribe salary 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
29136 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 92 / Thursday, May 12, 2022 / Notices 

schedules and other related benefits. 

Appendix A lists waivers needed to 

enact authorities described in this FRN. 

Nothing in this plan is intended to 

preclude the STRLs from adopting or 

incorporating any law or regulation 

enacted, adopted, or amended after the 

effective date of this FRN. 

C. Participating Organizations and 

Employees 

All DoD laboratories designated as 

STRLs pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 4121 with 

approved personnel demonstration 

project plans published in FRNs may 

use the provisions described in this 

FRN. 

II. Personnel System Changes 

A. Description and Implementation 

STRL directors may establish 

supplemental pay rates to be paid biweekly, as other pay, for those positions 

which warrant higher compensation 

than that provided by the established 

broadband salary ranges, STRL staffing 

supplements or differentials, or other 

recruitment or retention authorities. The 

STRL director may establish 

supplemental pay rates by occupational 

series, specialty, competency, 

broadband level, and/or geographical 

area. In establishing such rates, the 

STRL director may consider: Rates of 

pay offered by non-Federal or other 

alternative pay system employers that 

are considerably higher than rates 

payable by the STRL; the remoteness of 

the area or location involved; the 

undesirability of the working conditions 

or nature of the work involved; evidence 

that the position is of such a specialized 

nature that very few candidates exist; 

numbers of existing vacant positions 

and the length of time vacant; numbers 

of employees who have voluntarily left 

positions; evidence to support a 

conclusion that recruitment or retention 

problems likely will develop (if such 

problems do not already exist) or will 

worsen; consideration of use of other 

pay flexibilities as well as the use of 

non-pay solutions; or any other 

circumstances the STRL director 

considers appropriate. Documentation 

of the determination will be maintained 

by the STRL. 

This supplemental pay is in addition 

to any other pay, such as locality-based 

comparability payments authorized 

under 5 U.S.C. 5304 and may result in 

compensation above Level IV of the 

Executive Schedule but may not exceed 

Level I of the Executive Schedule. 

An established total salary including 

supplemental pay is considered basic 

pay for the same purposes as a locality 

rate under 5 CFR 531.606(b) (i.e., for 

purposes of retirement, life insurance, 

premium pay, severance pay and 

advances in pay). It will also be used to 

compute worker’s compensation 

payments and lump-sum payments for 

accrued and accumulated annual leave. 

The STRL director has an ongoing 

responsibility to evaluate the need for 

continuing payment of the 

supplemental pay and shall terminate or 

reduce the amount if conditions 

warrant. Conditions to be considered 

are: Changes in labor-market factors; the 

need for the services or skills of the 

employee has reduced to a level that 

makes it unnecessary to continue 

payment at the current level; or 

budgetary considerations make it 

difficult to continue payment at the 

current level. The reduction or 

termination of the payment is not 

considered an adverse action and may 

not be appealed or grieved. The 

applicant or employee will sign a 

statement of understanding outlining 

that the supplement may be reduced or 

terminated at any time based on 

conditions as determined by the STRL 

director. The documentation of the 

determination will be maintained by the 

STRL. 

B. Evaluation 

Procedures for evaluating this 

authority will be incorporated into the 

STRL demonstration project evaluation 

processes conducted by the STRLs, 

OUSD(R&E), or Component 

headquarters, as appropriate. 

C. Reports 

STRLs will track and provide 

information and data on the use of this 

authority when requested by the 

Component headquarters or 

OUSD(R&E).

Office of the Secretary 

[Docket ID DoD–2022–OS–0051] 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of a new system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the DoD is 

establishing a new Department-wide 

system of records titled, ‘‘Defense 

Advisory Committees,’’ DoD–0011. This 

system of records covers DoD’s 

maintenance of records about proposed, 

appointed, and prior members of the 

DoD’s Federal Advisory Committees, to 

include subcommittees, which are or 

not subject to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA). Individuals 

may be appointed to serve on an 

advisory committee as a regular 

government employee, as a special 

government employee, or as a 

representative member when directed 

by statute. These records include 

information on individuals who applied 

to be on a committee/subcommittee, 

were considered for, are currently 

serving on, and/or had previously 

served on a committee/subcommittee. 

DATES: This system of records is 

effective upon publication; however, 

comments on the Routine Uses will be 

accepted on or before June 13, 2022. The 

Routine Uses are effective at the close of 

the comment period. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by docket number and title, 

by any of the following methods: 

* Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DoD is establishing the Defense 

Advisory Committees, DoD–0011, as a 

DoD-wide Privacy Act system of 

records. A DoD-wide system of records 

notice (SORN) supports multiple DoD 

paper or electronic recordkeeping 

systems operated by more than one DoD 

component that maintain the same kind 

of information about individuals for the 

same purpose. Establishment of DoDwide SORNs helps DoD standardize the 

rules governing the collection, 

maintenance, use, and sharing of 

personal information in key areas across 

the enterprise. DoD-wide SORNs also 

reduce duplicative and overlapping 

SORNs published by separate DoD 

components. The creation of DoD-wide 

SORNs is expected to make locating 

relevant SORNs easier for DoD
