Improving Government Regulations; Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions

AGENCY:

Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION:

Semiannual regulatory agenda.

SUMMARY:

The Department of Defense (DoD) is publishing this semiannual agenda of regulatory documents, including those that are procurement-related, for public information and comments under Executive Order 12866 "Regulatory Planning and Review." This agenda incorporates the objective and criteria, when applicable, of the regulatory reform program under the Executive order and other regulatory guidance. It contains DoD issuances initiated by DoD components that may have economic and environmental impact on State, local, or tribal interests under the criteria of Executive Order 12866. Although most DoD issuances listed in the agenda are of negligible public impact, their nature may be of public interest and, therefore, are published to provide notice of rulemaking and an opportunity for public participation in the internal DoD rulemaking process.

For this edition of the Department of Defense's regulatory agenda, the most important significant regulatory actions are included in The Regulatory Plan, which appears in part II of this issue of the Federal Register. The Regulatory Plan entries are listed in the table of contents below and are denoted by a bracketed bold reference, which directs the reader to the appropriate sequence number in part II.

The agenda portion of this document updates the report published on May 14, 2001, and includes regulations expected to be issued and under review over the next 12 months. The next agenda is scheduled to be published in April 2002, with the next regulatory plan scheduled to be published in October 2002. In addition to this agenda, DoD components also publish rulemaking notices pertaining to their specific statutory administration requirements as required.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This edition of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions is composed of the regulatory status reports, including procurement-related regulatory status reports, from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Included also is the regulatory status report from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, whose civil works functions fall under the reporting requirements of Executive Order 12866 and involve water resource projects and regulation of activities in waters of the United States.

DoD issuances range from DoD directives (reflecting departmental policy) to implementing instructions and regulations (largely internal and used to implement directives). The OSD agenda section contains the primary directives under which DoD components promulgate their implementing regulations.

To ease identification and to differentiate among the variety of issuances reported, they are identified by their DoD internal numbering system, which denotes component level of authority and type of issuance, in addition to the required CFR number.

In addition, this agenda, although published under the reporting requirements of Executive Order 12866, continues to be the DoD single-source reporting vehicle, which identifies issuances that are currently applicable under the various regulatory reform programs in progress. Therefore, DoD components will identify those rules which come under the criteria of the:

a. Regulatory Flexibility Act;

b. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995;

c. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.

Those DoD issuances, which are directly applicable under these statutes, will be identified in the agenda and their action status indicated. Generally, the regulatory status reports in this agenda will contain five sections: (1) Prerule stage; (2) proposed rule stage; (3) final rule stage; (4) completed actions; and (5) long-term actions. Where certain regulatory actions indicate that small entities are affected, the effect on these entities may not necessarily have significant economic impact on a substantial number of these entities as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601(6)).

Although not a regulatory agency, DoD will continue to participate in regulatory initiatives designed to reduce economic costs and unnecessary environmental burdens upon the public. Comments and recommendations are invited on the rules reported and should be addressed to the DoD component representatives identified in the regulatory status reports. Although sensitive to the needs of the public, as well as regulatory reform, DoD reserves the right to exercise the exemptions and flexibility permitted in its rulemaking process in order to proceed with its overall defense-oriented mission. The publishing of this agenda does not waive the applicability of the military affairs exemption in section 553 of title 5 U.S.C. and section 3 of Executive Order 12866.

Abstract:

The Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 1996 transferred to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the Comptroller General's authority to settle claims. The OMB Director subsequently delegated some of these authorities to the Department of Defense (DoD). Later, the General Accounting Office Act of 1996 codified many of these delegations and transferred to the OMB Director the authority of the Comptroller General to waive uniformed service member and employee debts arising out of the erroneous payment of pay or allowances exceeding $1,500. The OMB Director subsequently delegated the authority to waive such debts of uniformed service members to DoD and the authority to waive employee debts to the employee's agency (non-DoD agencies may request an advisory opinion from DoD). The Secretary of Defense further delegated his claims settlement authority to the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA). This proposed rule seeks public comments on the procedures that DOHA proposes to use to implement these authorities.

Legal Deadline:

None

Abstract:

The Department of Defense proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI and added a definition of "program or activity" to section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department of Defense's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Department of Defense's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.

Abstract:

The Department of Defense (DoD) proposes to adopt two updated common rules, on nonprocurement debarment and suspension and on drug-free workplace requirements for grants and agreements. In adopting these rules, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Military Departments, Defense Agencies, and DoD Field Activities will maintain uniform policies and procedures that are consistent with those of other Executive Departments and Agencies. At the time the final rule is adopted, the Department of Defense will make conforming amendments to other parts of the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations (32 CFR parts 21, 22, 32, and 34), to update references to the debarment and suspension and the drug-free workplace requirements that currently are 32 CFR part 25.

Abstract:

The Department of Defense (DoD) proposes to add a new part 37 to the DoD Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs) to incorporate policies and procedures for the award and administration of Technology Investment Agreements (TIAs). TIAs are a relatively new class of assistance instruments. DoD Components use TIAs to support or stimulate defense research projects involving for-profit firms, especially commercial firms that do business primarily in the commercial marketplace. The new part 37 therefore gives DoD agreements officers greater flexibility to negotiate award provisions in areas that can present barriers to those commercial firms (e.g., intellectual property, audits, and cost principles). This rule also proposes revisions to parts 21, 22, 32, and 34 of the DoDGARs to conform the rest of the DoDGARs with the proposed part 37.

Abstract:

This rulemaking is the Department of Defense portion of a multiple-agency action. The agencies are amending their rules implementing Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-110 "Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations." The amendments to the rules incorporate updated language in Circular A-110 requiring Federal awarding agencies to ensure that all data produced under awards subject to the Circular are made available to the public through the procedures established under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). OMB updated the Circular language in this way in October 1999, in response to a provision in Public Law 105-277. With this rule amendment to 32 CFR parts 22 and 32, the Department of Defense therefore will maintain policies on access to data produced under awards subject to Circular A-110 that are consistent with the policies of other Executive Departments and Agencies.

Abstract:

On July 20, 1995, the Department of Defense published a final rule (60 FR 37337) implementing title XXIX of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 1994 (Pub. L. 103-160) and the President's Five-Part Plan "A Program to Revitalize Base Closure Communities," July 2, 1993. This rule will amend the final rule to implement section 2821 of the FY 2000 National Defense Authorization Act. Following the July 1993 announcement of the President's program to revitalize base closure communities, Congress created a new property conveyance authority, specifically designed to ease the economic hardship caused by base closures and realignments and to foster rapid job creation in the adversely impacted local communities. This authority is referred to as the "Economic Development Conveyance (EDC)," giving the Department of Defense the ability to transfer property to Local Redevelopment Authorities (LRAs), for consideration at or below estimated fair market value, to spur economic redevelopment and job creation. Section 2821 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 (Pub. L. 106-65) now authorizes the Department of Defense to transfer EDC property to LRAs at no cost to stimulate economic redevelopment and long-term job creation. The Department of Defense also is authorized now to modify existing EDC agreements when a change in economic circumstances necessitates a modification. This rule sets forth policies for the transfer of EDC real and personal property at no cost and the modification of existing EDC agreements. This rule does not, however, change current DoD policies for caretaker support and environmental cleanup. Similarly, the Military Departments must not alter their policies and procedures governing caretaker support and environmental cleanup because of the change in consideration for EDC property.
