Cases currently before a board of contract appeals affected by the legislation will be transferred to the Civilian Board on January 6, 2007, and reassigned CBCA docket numbers. Agency acquisition personnel should review agency regulations, contract provisions, and language in contracting officer decision letters that may refer contractors to one of the affected boards of contract appeals for dispute resolution, including alternative dispute resolution, and modify those provisions accordingly. The Civilian Board will also conduct other proceedings as required or permitted under statutes or regulations. Such other proceedings include the resolution of disputes involving grants and contracts under the Indian SelfDetermination and Education Assistance Act, 25 U.S.C. 450 et seq. Because jurisdiction over these disputes is vested by statute, 25 U.S.C. 450m– 1(d), in the Department of the Interior Board of Contract Appeals, section 847(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 reassigns that jurisdiction to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. Such other proceedings also include the resolution of disputes between insurance companies and the Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) involving actions of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) pursuant to the Federal Crop Insurance Act, 7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. These disputes were formerly resolved by the Department of Agriculture Board of Contract Appeals, and it is anticipated that this authority will be transferred to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals under an agreement with the Secretary of Agriculture, as permitted under section 42(c)(2) of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, 41 U.S.C. 438(c)(2). In addition, other proceedings that the Civilian Board will conduct include several types of cases heard by the General Services Board of Contract Appeals by delegation from the Administrator of General Services. It is anticipated that, effective January 6, 2007, the Administrator of General Services will redelegate those cases to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. Those cases include the following: — Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3726(i)(1), requests by carriers or freight forwarders to review actions taken by the Audit Division of the General Services Administration’s Office of Transportation and Property Management. — Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3702, claims by Federal civilian employees against VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:26 Nov 08, 2006 Jkt 211001 the United States for reimbursement of (1) expenses incurred while on official temporary duty travel and (2) expenses incurred in connection with relocation to a new duty station. — Pursuant to section 204 of the General Accounting Office Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104–316, requests of agency disbursing or certifying officials, or agency heads, on questions involving payment of travel or relocation expenses that were formerly considered by the Comptroller General under 31 U.S.C. 3529. The offices of the Civilian Board of Contact Appeals will be located at 1800 M Street, NW, 6th Floor, Washington, DC 20036. The mailing address of the Civilian Board will be 1800 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20405. The phone number of the Office of the Clerk of the Board will be (202) 606–8800; the facsimile number will be (202) 606– 0019.
