the United States discriminates against
defense items produced in that
country.’’ The Secretary of Defense has
delegated the waiver authority of 10
U.S.C. 2534(d) to the Under Secretary of
Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and
Logistics).
DoD has had a Reciprocal Defense
Procurement Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the UK
since 1975, most recently renewed on
December 16, 2004.
The Under Secretary of Defense
(Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics)
finds that the UK does not discriminate
against defense items produced in the
United States to a greater degree than
the United States discriminates against
defense items produced in the UK, and
also finds that application of the
limitation in 10 U.S.C. 2534 against
defense items produced in the UK
would impede the reciprocal
procurement of defense items under the
MOU.
Under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2534,
the Under Secretary of Defense
(Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics)
has determined that application of the
limitation of 10 U.S.C. 2534(a) to the
procurement of any defense item
produced in the UK that is listed below
would impede the reciprocal
procurement of defense items under the
MOU with the UK.
On the basis of the foregoing, the
Under Secretary of Defense
(Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics)
is waiving the limitation in 10 U.S.C.
2534(a) for procurements of any defense
item listed below that is produced in the
UK. This waiver applies only to the
limitations in 10 U.S.C. 2534(a). This
waiver applies to procurements under
solicitations issued during the period
from March 1, 2013 to February 28,
2014. Similar waivers have been granted
since 1998, most recently in 2012 (77 FR

Applies
1. Air circuit breakers.
2. Gyrocompasses.
3. Electronic navigation chart systems.

Program (MMPCMHP) Demonstration
Department of Defense (DoD).
Notice of Demonstration Project.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This notice advises interested
parties of a Military Health System
(MHS) Demonstration project under the
authority of Title 10, United States
Code, Section 1092, entitled Department
of Defense (DoD) Enhanced Access to
Patient Centered Medical Home
(PCMH): Participation in Maryland
Multi-payer Patient Centered Medical
Home Program (MMPCMHP).
DATES: The demonstration program will
be effective 30 days after publication in
the Federal Register and have a two
year duration.
ADDRESSES: TRICARE Management
Activity (TMA), TRICARE Regional
Office North, 1700 North Moore Street,
Suite 1200, Arlington, VA 22209.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Capt. John O’Boyle, TMA, TRICARE
Regional Office—North, telephone (703)
588–1831.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The MHS
has adopted the PCMH concept as the
strategy of choice for the direct care
system and is now using this
demonstration to evaluate and provide a
PCMH model in the purchased care
portion of the TRICARE program.
The MHS defines PCMH as a model
of care adopted by the American
Academy of Family Physicians, the
American Academy of Pediatrics, the
American College of Physicians, and the
American Osteopathic Association that
seeks to strengthen the provider-patient
relationship by replacing episodic care
with coordinated care and a long-term
healing relationship. In PCMH practices,
each patient has an ongoing relationship
with a personal provider who leads a
team that takes collective responsibility
for patient care. The provider-led care
team is responsible for providing all the
patient’s health care needs and, when
required, arranging for appropriate care
with other qualified providers.
A particular challenge in
implementing the PCMH concept in the
purchased care portion of the TRICARE
program has been the inability to
distinguish and employ reimbursement
methodologies which encourage
network providers to accept TRICARE
beneficiaries under a Medical Home
model. Current contractual incentives
encourage network discounts which
