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.
This agenda updates the report published on April 24, 2006,
and includes regulations expected to be issued and under review
over the next 12 months. The next agenda is scheduled to be
published in the spring of 2007, with the next regulatory plan
scheduled to be published in the fall of 2007. 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.
[[Page 73127]]
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.
Dated: September 5, 2006.
Ralph E. Newton,
Acting Deputy Director, Administration and Management.

Abstract: The Department of Defense (DoD) is revising the DoD Grant and
Agreement Regulations (DoDGARs) to implement Office of Management and

make needed technical corrections. To implement the OMB guidance, DoD
is adopting a new part in title 2 of the CFR, the Governmentwide title
recently established for OMB guidance and agencies' implementing
regulations on grants and agreements. The Department also is removing
the common rule on nonprocurement suspension and debarment that is in
the DoDGARs in 32 CFR, chapter I, subchapter C, since the common rule
is superseded by the new DoD part implementing the OMB guidance. This
regulatory action is the first step toward relocating all of the
DoDGARs to 2 CFR.

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 Nonprofit
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: In accordance with the National Defense Authorization Acts
for 1995 and 1996, the Department has prepared this rule for
Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs). DoD has established RABs at over
200 installations and formerly used Defense sites that have
environmental restoration programs for cleanup of contaminated sites.
The purpose of the RAB is to facilitate public participation in
restoration activities at operating and closing installations. The
proposed rule is based on DoD's current policies for RABs, as well as
DoD's experience in establishing and operating RABs over the past 2
years.

DECISION REQUESTS
Priority: Other Significant

USC 420; 31 USC 3529; 31 USC 3702; 32 USC 714; 37 USC 554; . . .
CFR Citation: 32 CFR 281
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This rule proposes policy and assigns responsibilities for
settling personnel and general claims and for processing requests for
an advance decision. 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 to the Secretary of Defense
and others 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 and DoD employees to
the Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of Defense further delegated
his claims settlement and waiver authorities to the General Counsel.
This rule implements the reassignment of the Comptroller General's
former duties within the Department of Defense with little impact on
the public.

Abstract: This rule proposes policy and assigns responsibilities for
considering applications for the waiver of debts resulting from
erroneous payments of pay and allowances (including travel and

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 to the
