Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2016 / Notices
December 31, 2011. With both civilian
and defense agencies, the statutory
formula cap applies only when the
contractor is performing covered
contracts that are of either a costreimbursable nature or other cost-based
nature.
Section 1127 sets out a formula for
determining the cap amount.
Specifically, the statutory formula cap
amount is set at the median (50th
percentile) amount of compensation
provided, over the most recent year for
which data is available, to the five most
highly compensated employees in
management positions at each home
office and each segment of all publiclyowned U.S. companies with annual
sales over $50 million. The
determination is based on analysis of
data made available by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Compensation 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.
Since enactment of the statutory
formula in 1998, the cap has increased
more than 300%. In 2010, the President
began calling on Congress to replace the
current statutory formula cap with a
lower, more sensible limit that is on par
with what the Government pays its own
executives and employees. In December
2013, with the Administration’s strong
support, Congress reformed the ceiling
on the reimbursement of contractor
employee compensation. Section 702 of
the BBA replaced section 1127 with a
new cap of $487,000 to be adjusted
annually to reflect the change in the
Employment Cost Index for all workers
as calculated by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (otherwise known as the BBA
cap). The new $487,000 BBA cap
provides a reasonable level of
compensation for high value Federal
contractor employees while ensuring
taxpayers are not saddled with paying
excessive compensation costs. On June
24, 2014, the Federal Acquisition
Regulatory Council issued an interim
rule to amend the Federal Acquisition
Regulation to reflect the new BBA cap
and issuance of a final rule is pending.
However, the new $487,000 BBA cap
applies on a prospective basis only to
contracts awarded on or after June 24,
2014. Because the statutory formula cap
continues to apply to contracts awarded
before June 24, 2014, the Administration
is compelled by statute to determine the
statutory formula cap amount for FYs
2013 and 2014 in accordance with the
statutory formula set forth in section
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:40 Mar 14, 2016
Jkt 238001
1127 to address these pre-existing
contracts.
After consultation with the Director of
the Defense Contract Audit Agency,
OFPP has determined, pursuant to the
requirements of section 1127, that the
statutory formula cap amount for the
ceiling on the compensation of a
contractor employee covered by this
provision is $980,796 for FY 2013, and
$1,144,888 for FY 2014. Each of these
statutory formula cap amounts applies
to limit the reimbursement, by the
Government to the contractor, of the
costs of compensation for certain
contractor employees for costs incurred
on all covered contracts, at the
beginning of the contractor FY that
begins January 1 for the respective year
(or pro-rated over that portion of the
contractor FY that includes January 1
for the respective year). The statutory
formula cap amount (i.e., $980,796) for
FY 2013 is applicable to compensation
costs incurred on all covered contracts
during the period of January 1, 2013
through December 31, 2013 for the
contractor’s fiscal year. The statutory
formula cap amount (i.e., $1,144,888)
for FY 2014 is applicable on all covered
contracts to compensation costs
incurred as of January 1, 2014 and
continues in subsequent contractor FYs,
unless and until revised by OFPP. As
explained above, this statutory formula
cap applies only to covered contracts
awarded before June 24, 2014 for both
defense and civilian procurement
agencies to limit the reimbursement of
the compensation costs for certain
contractor employees.
Employers continue to have the
discretion to compensate their
employees at any level they deem
appropriate. The statutory formula cap
only limits how much the Government
will reimburse the contractors for the
services of those affected employees.
Questions concerning this
memorandum may be addressed to
Raymond Wong, OFPP, at 202–395–
6805.
