Paper copies of the Circular may be obtained by calling OFPP (tel: (202) 395–7579). Rob Portman, Director. Attachment Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies FROM: Rob Portman, Director SUBJECT: Update to Civilian Position Full Fringe Benefit Cost Factor, Federal Pay Raise Assumptions, Inflation Factors, and Tax Rates used in OMB Circular No. A–76, ‘‘Performance of Commercial Activities.’’ Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A–76 requires agencies to use standard cost factors to estimate certain costs of government performance. These cost factors ensure that specific government costs are calculated in a standard and consistent manner to reasonably reflect the cost of performing commercial activities with government personnel. This memorandum updates the civilian position full fringe benefit cost factor, the annual Federal pay raise assumptions, inflation cost factors, and tax rate information. The update to the civilian position full fringe benefit cost factor is based on actuarial analyses provided by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The revised pay raise assumptions and inflation cost factors are based on the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2007. The tax rates are based on information provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Civilian Position Full Fringe Benefit Cost Factor The Circular requires agencies to add the civilian position full fringe benefit cost factor to the basic pay for each full-time and parttime permanent civilian position in the agency cost estimate. This factor is comprised of four separate elements: (1) Insurance and health benefits, (2) standard civilian retirement benefits, (3) Medicare benefits, and (4) miscellaneous fringe benefits. OMB has determined, based on information provided by OPM, that the civilian position full fringe benefit cost factor needs to be adjusted upward, from 32.85 percent to 36.45 percent. This adjustment is necessary to account for increases in insurance and health benefits and civilian retirement benefits. The Medicare benefits and miscellaneous fringe benefits elements remain unchanged at this time. The revised cost elements of the civilian position full fringe benefit cost factor are summarized in the table below. E:\FR\FM\01NON1.SGM 01NON1
