SUMMARY: As required by the Department of Veterans Affairs Health Care 
Personnel Enhancement Act of 2004 and in conjunction with the 2012 
Delegation Agreement between the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 
and the Department of Defense (DoD), the Defense Civilian Personnel 
Advisory Service (DCPAS) is hereby giving notice of specialty additions 
and revisions, as well as the addition of pay table six from the 
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) structure revised as contained 
herein for DoD physicians and dentists. These revisions are intended to 
enhance the flexibility of the DoD to recruit, develop, and retain the 
most highly qualified providers to serve our nation's active duty 
members and their families and maintain a standard of excellence in the 
DoD healthcare system.

DATES: Effective Dates: Revisions are effective on September 23, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Additional information may be obtained 
by writing to the Compensation Division, Defense Civilian Personnel 
Advisory Service, Department of Defense, 4800 Mark Center Drive, 
Alexandria, VA 22350-1100.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 38 U.S.C. 7431(e)(1)(C), 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. In 2012, OPM re-delegated authority to DoD to continue 
utilizing a portion of Title 38 provisions for DoD civilian physicians 
and dentists. In accordance with the aforementioned governing 
documents, DCPAS is submitting revisions contained herein as a Federal 
Register notice.

Discussion

    DoD reviews and adopts the VHA tables and tiers including the 
minimums and maximums as they are revised by VHA (note: the VHA table 7 
is adopted as DoD table 5). While VHA and DoD have similar specialties, 
there are specialties unique to DoD. In coordination with VHA and OPM, 
DoD is adding specialties and revising original placement of DoD 
specific specialties within the table structure, signified below in 
Italics followed by [New]or [Moved from Table X]. DoD is also adopting 
VHA's pay table six, Executive Assignments (as contained herein), with 
minor changes. Differences include a two tier rather than three tier 
structure, inverse pay minimums and maximums to maintain consistency 
with the structure of DoD Tables one--five, and removal of VA specific 
job titles replaced with DoD equivalent job titles.
