OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND

BUDGET

Issuance of Transmittal Memorandum

No. 16, Amending OMB Circular No. A–

76, ‘‘Performance of Commercial

Activities’’

AGENCY: Office of Management and

Budget.

SUMMARY: This notice contains

Transmittal No. 16, to OMB Circular No.

A–76, ‘‘Performance of Commercial

Activities.’’

This Transmittal Memorandum

updates the Federal pay raise

assumptions and inflation factors used

for computing the Government’s inhouse personnel and non-pay costs for

Fiscal Years 1996 through 2002. The

Federal pay raise assumptions and the

non-pay category rates are, generally,

contained in the President’s Budget for

Fiscal Year 1997. The factors contained

in OMB Circular No. A–76, Transmittal

Memorandum No. 14 are outdated.

The revision does not require any

agency to (1) create or maintain a

duplicate control/monitoring/reporting

system or (2) adopt any additional

controls, not presently in compliance

with Federal Acquisition Regulations

(FAR).

Agencies are reminded that OMB

Circular No. A–76, Transmittal

Memoranda 1 through 14 are canceled.

Transmittal Memorandum No. 15

provided the Revised Supplemental

Handbook, dated March 1996 (Federal

Register, April 1, 1996, pages 14338–

14346).

DATES: As with previous OMB Circular

A–76 Transmittals, the provisions of

Transmittal Memorandum No. 16 are

effective immediately and shall apply to

all cost comparisons in progress that

have not yet undergone bid opening or

where the in-house bid has not yet

otherwise been revealed.

David Childs, Budget Analysis and

Systems Division, NEOB Room 6104,

May 23, 1996.

Circular No. A–76 (Revised)

Transmittal Memorandum No. 16

To the Heads of Executive Departments and

Agencies

Subject: Performance of Commercial

Activities

This Transmittal Memorandum updates

the Federal pay raise assumptions and

inflation factors used for computing the

Government’s in-house personnel and nonpay costs, as generally provided in the

President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 1997.

However, because the 1997 Budget did not

specify 1998–2002 pay raises for civilians, for

purposes of A–76 cost comparison

determinations only, the civilian pay raise

percentages for 1998–2002 shall be assumed

to be the same as the military pay raise

assumptions for the corresponding years as

shown below. Similarly, the non-pay

inflation factors are for purposes of A–76 cost

comparison determinations only. They reflect

the generic non-pay inflation assumptions

used to develop the FY 1997 budget baseline

estimates required by law. The law requires

that a specific inflation factor (GNP fixedweight FY/FY index) be used for this

purpose. These inflation factors should not

be viewed as estimates of expected inflation

rates for major long-term procurement items

or as an estimate of inflation for only

particular agency’s non-pay purchases mix.

The following factors should be applied

per paragraph B, pages 19–21 of the OMB

Circular A–76 Revised Supplemental

Handbook (March 1996).

Federal pay raise assumptions effective dateMilitary/

civilian

January 1997 .................................. 3.0

FY 2000 .......................................... 2.7

FY 2001 .......................................... 2.7

FY 2002 .......................................... 2.7

Geographic pay differentials received

in 1996 shall be included for the

development of in-house personnel

costs. The above pay raise factors shall

be applied after consideration is given

to the geographic pay differentials. The

pay raise factors provided for 1997 and

beyond shall be applied to all

employees, with no assumption being

made as to how they will be distributed

between possible locality and ECI-based

increases.

These updates are effective as follows:

all changes in the Transmittal

Memorandum are effective immediately

and shall apply to all cost comparisons

in process where the government’s inhouse cost estimate has not been

publicly revealed before this date.

Agencies are reminded that OMB No.

A–76, Transmittal Memorandum 1

through Transmittal Memorandum 14

are canceled. Transmittal Memorandum

No. 15 provided the Revised

Supplemental Handbook, dated March

1996 (Federal Register, April 1, 1996,

Sincerely,

Alice M. Rivin,

Director.
