ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Office of Management and Budget is publishing the attached memorandum to the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies announcing that $763,029 is the ‘‘benchmark compensation amount’’ for certain executives in terms of costs allowable under Federal Government contracts during contractors’ fiscal year 2011. This determination is required under Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 1127; formerly, 41 U.S.C. 435). The benchmark compensation amount applies to both defense and civilian agencies. SUMMARY: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Raymond Wong, Office of Federal Procurement Policy, at 202–395–6805. Lesley A. Field, Acting Administrator, Office of Federal Procurement Policy. MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES FROM: Lesley A. Field, Acting Administrator, Office of Federal Procurement Policy SUBJECT: Determination of Benchmark Compensation Amount for Certain Executives, Pursuant to Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 1127) This memorandum sets forth the benchmark compensation amount for certain executives as required by Section 39 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 1127; formerly, 41 U.S.C. 435). The statutory benchmark amount limits the allowability of compensation costs under Federal Government contracts as implemented at FAR 31.205–6(p). In less technical terms, the statute places a cap on the amount of contractor-paid executive compensation that the Federal Government will reimburse, in the case of those contractors that are performing contracts that are of a cost-reimbursable or other cost-based nature. It should be noted that, while the statute places a cap on the amount that the Federal PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Government will reimburse the contractor, the statute does not limit the amount of compensation that the contractor actually pays to its executives; contractors can, and do, provide compensation to their executives that exceed the statutory benchmark compensation amount. Section 39 of the OFPP Act sets out a formula for determining the benchmark compensation amount. Specifically, the benchmark amount is set at the median (50th percentile) amount of compensation over a recent 12-month period for the five most highly compensated employees in management positions at each home office and each segment of all publiclyowned companies with annual sales over $50 million, and the determination is based on analysis of data made available by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Compensation for the fiscal year means the total amount of wages, salaries, bonuses, restricted stock, deferred and performance incentive compensation, and other compensation for the year, whether paid, earned, or otherwise accruing, as recorded in the employer’s cost accounting records for the year. After consultation with the Director of the Defense Contract Audit Agency, OFPP has determined, pursuant to the requirements of Section 39, that the benchmark compensation amount for certain executives for the contractors’ fiscal year (FY) 2011 is $763,029. This amount is for contractors’ FY 2011 and subsequent contractor fiscal years, unless and until revised by OFPP. This benchmark compensation amount applies to contract costs incurred after January 1, 2011, under covered contracts of both the defense and civilian procurement agencies as specified in Section 39. This past fall, the Administration proposed that Congress, starting with FY 2011, replace the existing statutory formula for calculating the cap on the amount that the Federal Government will reimburse Federal contractors (both defense and civilian). This proposal was contained in the President’s Plan for Economic Growth and Deficit Reduction, which is on OMB’s Web site at https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/ default/files/omb/budget/fy2012/assets/ jointcommitteereport.pdf. In place of the formula that is in Section 39, the President’s Plan proposed (on page 21) that Congress put in place a reimbursement cap that would be equal to the pay rate for the Federal Government’s most senior executives, who are the heads of the 15 Cabinet departments and certain other highlevel officials.
