Shanna Poole, Director, Operational Contract Support Policy, Office of the Deputy Assistance Secretary of Defense (Program Support), (703) 692-3032.
a. Purpose: This rule incorporates the latest changes and lessons learned into policy and procedures for OCS, Start Printed Page 72573including OCS program management, contract support integration, and the integration of DoD contractor personnel into contingency operations outside the United States. It was required to procedurally close gaps and ensure the correct planning, oversight and management of DoD contractors supporting contingency operations, by updating outdated policy.
b. Authority: Public Law 110-181; Public Law 110-417.
(1) Incorporation of lessons learned from current operations;
(2) requirements for the development of contractor oversight plans;
(3) requirements for adequate military personnel necessary to execute contract oversight; and,
(4) standards of medical care for deployed contractors.
This rule establishes policies and procedures for the oversight and management of contractors supporting contingency operations outside the United States; therefore, there is no cost to the public. Updated and refined policy regarding contractors supporting contingency operations will result in improved management, oversight and efficiency.
On December 29, 2011 (76 FR 81807), the Department published an interim final rule and public comments were solicited. At the end of the comment period, we received comments from two respondents. Neither comment questioned the content of the rule. One commented in part that “I am happy that your rules would treat contractors with the same respect as other military personnel who are serving in our country's military” and the other stated “I agree that this is a necessary rule especially facing our country's current war status.” Based on these comments, no changes were necessary to the rule itself.
