Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 151 / Friday, August 7, 2009 / Notices
Abstract: The final regulations require
a collection of information in order for
a taxpayer to make certain tax elections.
The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
amended the foreign tax credit
treatment of dividends from
noncontrolled section 902 corporations
effective for post-2002 tax years, and the
Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005
permitted taxpayers to elect to defer the
effective date of these amendments until
post-2004 tax years (GOZA election).
Treas. Reg. § 1.904–7(f)(9)(ii)(C) requires
a taxpayer making the GOZA election to
attach a statement to such effect to its
next tax return for which the due date
(with extensions) is more than 90 days
after April 25, 2006. Treas. Reg. § 1.964–
1(c)(3) requires certain shareholders
making tax elections (section 964
elections) on behalf of a controlled
foreign corporation or noncontrolled
section 902 corporation to sign a jointly
executed consent (that is retained by
one designated shareholder) and to
attach a statement to their tax returns for
the election year.
Current Actions: There is no change
in the paperwork burden previously
approved by OMB. This form is being
submitted for renewal purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:

notice of annual pay ranges for Veterans
Health Administration (VHA)
physicians and dentists as prescribed by
the Secretary for Department-wide
applicability. These annual pay ranges
are intended to enhance the flexibility
of the Department to recruit, develop,
and retain the most highly qualified
providers to serve our Nation’s veterans
and maintain a standard of excellence in
the VA healthcare system.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 38
U.S.C. 7431(e)(1)(A), not less often than
once every two years, the Secretary
must prescribe for Department-wide
applicability the minimum and
maximum amounts of annual pay that
may be paid to VHA physicians and
dentists. Further, 38 U.S.C. 7431(e)(1)(B)
allows the Secretary to prescribe
separate minimum and maximum
amounts of pay for a specialty or
assignment. In construction of the
annual pay ranges, 38 U.S.C.
7431(c)(4)(A) requires the consultation
of two or more national surveys of pay
for physicians and dentists, as
applicable, whether prepared by private,
public, or quasi-public entities in order
to make a general assessment of the
range of pays payable to physicians and
dentists. Lastly, 38 U.S.C. 7431(e)(1)(C)
states amounts prescribed under
paragraph 7431(e) shall be published in
the Federal Register, and shall not take
effect until at least 60 days after date of
publication.
Background
The ‘‘Department of Veterans Affairs
Health Care Personnel Enhancement Act
of 2004’’ (Pub. L. 108–445) was signed
by the President on December 3, 2004.
The major provisions of the law
established a new pay system for
Veterans Health Administration (VHA)
physicians and dentists consisting of
base pay, market pay, and performance
pay. While the base pay component is
set by statute, market pay is intended to
reflect the recruitment and retention
needs for the specialty or assignment of
a particular physician or dentist at a
facility. Further, performance pay is
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:09 Aug 06, 2009
Jkt 217001
intended to recognize the achievement
of specific goals and performance
objectives prescribed annually. These
three components create a system of pay
that is driven by both market indicators
and employee performance, while
recognizing employee tenure in VHA.
Discussion
VA identified and utilized salary
survey data sources which most closely
represent VA comparability in the areas
of practice setting, employment
environment, and hospital/healthcare
system. The Association of American
Medical Colleges (AAMC), Hospital and
Healthcare Compensation Service
(HHCS), Sullivan, Cotter, and Associates
(S&C), Physician Executive Management
Center (PEMC), and the Survey of
Dental Practice published by the
American Dental Association (ADA)
were collectively utilized as
benchmarks from which to prescribe
annual pay ranges for physicians and
dentists across the scope of
assignments/specialties within the
Department. While aggregating the data,
a preponderance of weight was given to
those surveys which most directly
resembled the environment of the
Department.
In constructing annual pay ranges to
accommodate the more than thirty
specialties that currently exist in the VA
system, VA continued the practice of
grouping specialties into consolidated
pay ranges. This allows VA to use
multiple sources that yield a high
number of physician salary data which
helps to minimize disparities and
aberrations that may surface from data
involving smaller numbers of
physicians and dentists for comparison
and from sample change from year to
year. Thus, by aggregating multiple
survey sources into like groupings,
greater confidence exists that the
average compensation reported is truly
representative. In addition, aggregation
of data provides for a large enough
sample size and provides pay ranges
with maximum flexibility for pay setting
for the more than 16,000 VHA
physicians and dentists.
In developing the annual pay ranges,
a few distinctive principles were
factored into the compensation analysis
of the data. The first principle is to
ensure that both the minimum and
maximum salary is at a level that
accommodates special employment
situations, from fellowships and
medical research career development
awards to Nobel Laureates, high-cost
areas, and internationally renowned
clinicians. The second principle, to
attempt to establish a rate range of ± 25
percent of the mean, is imperative to
PO 00000
Frm 00131
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
provide ranges large enough to
accommodate career progression,
geographic differences, subspecialization, and special factors. This
principle is also the standard
recommended by World@Work for
professional compensation ranges.
All clinical specialties for VHA
physicians and dentists were reviewed
against relevant private sector data. The
specialties are grouped into five clinical
pay ranges that reflect comparable
complexity in salary, recruitment, and
retention considerations. Two
additional pay ranges apply to VHA
Chiefs of Staff and physicians and
dentists in executive level
administrative assignments at the
facility, network, or headquarters level.
