Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Required Sources of Supply, 73187-73189 [05-23724]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 236 / Friday, December 9, 2005 / Proposed Rules certain non-abusive arrangements, while encouraging beneficial and innocuous arrangements’’ (56 FR 35952, July 29, 1991). Health care providers and others may voluntarily seek to comply with these provisions so that they have the assurance that their business practices will not be subject to any enforcement action under the anti-kickback statute or related administrative authorities. To date, OIG has developed and codified in 42 CFR 1001.952 a total of 22 final safe harbors that describe practices that are sheltered from liability. B. OIG Special Fraud Alerts OIG has also periodically issued Special Fraud Alerts to give continuing guidance to health care providers with respect to practices OIG finds potentially fraudulent or abusive. The Special Fraud Alerts encourage industry compliance by giving providers guidance that can be applied to their own practices. OIG Special Fraud Alerts are intended for extensive distribution directly to the health care provider community, as well as to those charged with administering the Federal health care programs. In developing these Special Fraud Alerts, OIG has relied on a number of sources and has consulted directly with experts in the subject field, including those within OIG, other agencies of the Department, other Federal and State agencies, and those in the health care industry. To date, OIG has issued 12 individual Special Fraud Alerts. C. Section 205 of Public Law 104–191 Section 205 of Public Law 104–191 requires the Department to develop and publish an annual notice in the Federal Register formally soliciting proposals for modifying existing safe harbors to the anti-kickback statute and for developing new safe harbors and Special Fraud Alerts. In developing safe harbors for a criminal statute, OIG is required to engage in a thorough review of the range of factual circumstances that may fall within the proposed safe harbor subject area so as to uncover potential opportunities for fraud and abuse. Only then can OIG determine, in consultation with the Department of Justice, whether it can effectively develop regulatory limitations and controls that will permit beneficial and innocuous arrangements within a subject area while, at the same time, protecting the Federal health care programs and their beneficiaries from abusive practices. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:03 Dec 08, 2005 Jkt 208001 II. Solicitation of Additional New Recommendations and Proposals In accordance with the requirements of section 205 of Public Law 104–191, OIG last published a Federal Register solicitation notice for developing new safe harbors and Special Fraud Alerts on December 10, 2004 (69 FR 71766). As required under section 205, a status report of the public comments received in response to that notice is set forth in Appendix F to the OIG’s Semiannual Report covering the period April 1, 2005, through September 30, 2005.1 OIG is not seeking additional public comment on the proposals listed in Appendix F at this time. Rather, this notice seeks additional recommendations regarding the development of proposed or modified safe harbor regulations and new Special Fraud Alerts beyond those summarized in Appendix F to the OIG Semiannual Report referenced above. A. Criteria for Modifying and Establishing Safe Harbor Provisions In accordance with section 205 of HIPAA, we will consider a number of factors in reviewing proposals for new or modified safe harbor provisions, such as the extent to which the proposals would affect an increase or decrease in: • Access to health care services, • The quality of services, • Patient freedom of choice among health care providers, • Competition among health care providers, • The cost to Federal health care programs, • The potential overutilization of the health care services, and • The ability of health care facilities to provide services in medically underserved areas or to medically underserved populations. In addition, we will also take into consideration other factors, including, for example, the existence (or nonexistence) of any potential financial benefit to health care professionals or providers that may take into account their decisions whether to (1) order a health care item or service or (2) arrange for a referral of health care items or services to a particular practitioner or provider. B. Criteria for Developing Special Fraud Alerts In determining whether to issue additional Special Fraud Alerts, we will also consider whether, and to what extent, the practices that would be 1 The OIG Semiannual Report can be accessed through the OIG Web site at https://oig.hhs.gov/ publications/semiannual.html.

A detailed explanation of justifications for, or empirical data supporting, a suggestion for a safe harbor or Special Fraud Alert would be helpful and should, if possible, be included in any response to this solicitation.

Background DFARS Transformation is a major DoD initiative to dramatically change the purpose and content of the DFARS. The objective is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the acquisition process, while allowing the acquisition workforce the flexibility to innovate. The transformed DFARS will contain only requirements of law, DoDwide policies, delegations of FAR authorities, deviations from FAR requirements, and policies/procedures that have a significant effect beyond the internal operating procedures of DoD or a significant cost or administrative impact on contractors or offerors. Additional information on the DFARS Transformation initiative is available at https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/ dfars/transformation/index.htm. This proposed rule is a result of the DFARS Transformation initiative. The proposed DFARS changes: • Delete informational text on GSA Federal Supply Schedules that is unnecessary for inclusion in the DFARS. • Delete text on the Defense National Stockpile and the acquisition of helium. These issues are adequately addressed in the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 8.003 and subpart 8.5. • Delete obsolete text on the DoD Industrial Preparedness Production Planning Program. There is no longer a DoD-wide Program. • Delete procedures for ordering from central nonprofit agencies; for acquisition of items under the DoD Coordinated Acquisition Program; for contracting or performing field service functions for NASA; for use of the DoD Precious Metals Recovery Program; and for use of enterprise software agreements for acquiring commercial software and related services. Text on these subjects will be relocated to the new DFARS companion resource, Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI). Additional information on PGI is available at https://www.acq.osd.mil/ dpap/dars/pgi.

Regulatory Flexibility Act 208.7000 DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule deletes unnecessary, obsolete, or procedural DFARS text, but makes no significant change to DoD contracting policy. Therefore, DoD has not performed an initial regulatory flexibility analysis. DoD invites comments from small businesses and other interested parties. DoD also will consider comments from small entities concerning the affected DFARS subparts in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should be submitted separately and should cite DFARS Case 2003–D072. 5.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    DFARS Transformation is a major DoD initiative to dramatically 
change the purpose and content of the DFARS. The objective is to 
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the acquisition process, 
while allowing the acquisition workforce the flexibility to innovate. 
The transformed DFARS will contain only requirements of law, DoD-wide 
policies, delegations of FAR authorities, deviations from FAR 
requirements, and policies/procedures that have a significant effect 
beyond the internal operating procedures of DoD or a significant cost 
or administrative impact on contractors or offerors. Additional 
information on the DFARS Transformation initiative is available at 
https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/dfars/transformation/index.htm.
    This proposed rule is a result of the DFARS Transformation 
initiative. The proposed DFARS changes:
     Delete informational text on GSA Federal Supply Schedules 
that is unnecessary for inclusion in the DFARS.
     Delete text on the Defense National Stockpile and the 
acquisition of helium. These issues are adequately addressed in the 
Federal Acquisition Regulation at 8.003 and subpart 8.5.
     Delete obsolete text on the DoD Industrial Preparedness 
Production Planning Program. There is no longer a DoD-wide Program.
     Delete procedures for ordering from central nonprofit 
agencies; for acquisition of items under the DoD Coordinated 
Acquisition Program; for contracting or performing field service 
functions for NASA; for use of the DoD Precious Metals Recovery 
Program; and for use of enterprise software agreements for acquiring 
commercial software and related services. Text on these subjects will 
be relocated to the new DFARS companion resource, Procedures, Guidance, 
and Information (PGI). Additional information on PGI is available at 
https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/pgi.
    This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review 
under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    DoD does not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities within the meaning of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., because the rule 
deletes unnecessary, obsolete, or procedural DFARS text, but makes no 
significant change to DoD contracting policy. Therefore, DoD has not 
performed an initial regulatory flexibility analysis. DoD invites 
comments from small businesses and other interested parties. DoD also 
will consider comments from small entities concerning the affected 
DFARS subparts in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Such comments should be 
submitted separately and should cite DFARS Case 2003-D072.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the rule does 
not impose any information collection requirements that require the 
approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, 
et seq.
